Parent Teen Activity

Last Saturday was the annual Parent/Teen Activity with our church. Bowling and then some games at a local gym. I think Lydia's score was too low to publish. But she had fun nevertheless!

As for Paul and I, we played pool and I won 3 out of 4 games......well only because he shot the 8 ball in when he wasn't supposed to...

A couple of weeks ago, I took Lydia downtown to have a "photo shoot" with her friend, Heidi. They dressed up in their "EMMA" like clothes and tried to play the part.

Release Time MInistry

Every Wednesday afternoon at our church is a ministry called "Release Time". Children from a nearby public school are brought to our church for 2 1/2 hours of homework help, Bible stories and games. Lydia has been helping for almost 2 years and just loves working with the little girls.

Need I say anything!!!!!

Day after Christmas, Dave, Joy and Preston came for a one night visit on their way home to Louisiana.
