The best thing about being a teacher . . .

Yesterday we went to the Creative Discovery Museum with my friend Alli and her son Fuller. Luke really enjoyed it and I was surprised at how many things they had that he could enjoy. He played in water and sand, danced and played the piano, smashed clay, pushed lots of buttons, blew bubbles, put balls in their holes, plus more.

As if that wasn't enough fun, we then went to the water pools between the two aquariums and let the boys enjoy the water, which Luke ALSO loved, of course, being a water baby as he is.

Then, today, we went with Heather and Jonas to the Tennessee Riverpark and walked and played on the playground. It was all great fun! I love summer!

Ben's Baptism

Ben is going to be baptized on July 8th, it's official. It will be at our church at the 11am service.

Also, tomorrow, Wednesday, pray for me. The Mormon missionaries that were supposed to come to my house last week rescheduled to this week and they are coming at 6pm. So, again, pray for me. I'm hoping to be used by the Lord to at least plant a good seed in their hearts.

Enjoying Gini in town

My stepmom Gini is in town for a few weeks selling my parents' house. Luke is really enjoying it. When he went down for a nap today she was at our house, and when he woke up he grabbed his little Spanish soccer ball and went running out to the living room saying "Ganma!" and then sad, "Ganma." It's so fun to see how they pick up on small cues and understand that Grandma and Grandpa are important people.

So, we went over to Grandma's house to continue help cleaning out stuff in storage. Then we were going to stop by his friend Fuller's house to drop off some coke points and what do you know, they were on their way to the playground in St. Elmo (across the street from their house), so we went too. While we were at the park, it started raining, which Luke loves. We went home, since it was raining, and the whole way home, Luke was saying "Pease, running" which can be translated to "Please, can I get out in the rain?"

Kids are fun.
