An Ear For Music

Addison LOVES to sing and it would surprise you the amount of songs she actually knows the words to that play on the Sirius stations that we listen to. I always find myself smiling as we drive along in the car and I'm singing to a particular song and then I hear her little voice in the backseat reciting the song(word for word!)

On the way to the gym this morning,Katy Perry's "E.T." came on the radio and Addi said "This is a good song...MOMMY' turn the radio up!!"

I have a slight feeling we may have a future music superstar in the making!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider!

This morning the University of Florida Department of Agriculture came to Stepping Stones with a spider exhibit. Addison was so excited about the prospect of seeing, AND holding spiders(who is this kid?!?) Most of the spiders that Mr. Edwards brought with him were dead and in a vile, but he had a few live ones. Addi and I were sitting right up front and when he would hold out a live specimen on his arm I would have visions of it dropping on my leg....EEK!! He showed the kids a scorpion and then pulled out the Mexican Red-Kneed Tarantula. Addison kept begging to have it crawl on her, and was excited when the kids were told that they would be able to pet it on their way out of the room. Addi was the 1st one in line and lit up when she got to pet the spider's back. I of course, kept my distance!

Our New Child from Malawi

We just got back from the Step Into Africa that Trinity has been hosting for the past week. I wasn't sure what to expect other than the things I had heard from friends and Trinity members, but I was overwhelmed with emotion! It was so moving and such an eye opening experience!! Something spoke to me even before we went through the experience, and by the end I knew what we were called to do. We sponsored a 7yo boy named Potidyera, who was born on the due date(mo/d/yr) of the 1st baby we miscarried *FATE*!! So grateful TUMC brought this experience to our community and we have somehow been able to fill a void in our lives with a blessing!!
