Yesterday we loaded everyone up and drove to Home Depot to buy some flowers and veggies to plant in the garden. The girls LOVED getting to "help" plant the flowers. We planted marigolds, impatients, daisies, tomato plants, basil, rosemary and a large hydrangea bush. The gladiolas and elephant ears are already coming up and looking good. It was a lot of fun--we were all covered in mulch!



Later that afternoon the girls were sharing an ice cream cup from McDonald's but got distracted playing and Ella placed it under the kitchen table. Apparently, Sam found it and hid himself under there finishing it off. Here's a picture I snapped of him.

Pray for ZOE this week. This afternoon, Sheryl and the rest fly to Malibu to sing at Pepperdine. For the first time in 8-9 years, I am not going. I'm really going to miss being there! For those of you going, have a blast! I am staying here with the girls. It's not Malibu, but it might end up being warmer! Have a great day, everyone.

You will be missed, my friend. We'll be there to encourage and worship with ZOE, though. Enjoy your time with the girls.

That little Sam!!! And not one, but TWO toofies! Is he going to get your curls, next? I wish I could have been there to watch the girls' reactions when they saw Sam had absconded with their ice cream.

I know you will miss Pepperdine, but you may never forget this time with your kids. Bask in the memory making.

Love ya!
