O Lord, our Lord...

....how majestic is Your name in all the earth. Alex has been singing that song all week; and , it being one of my favorites, I can't seem to get it out of my head either. I love to hear my children praise the Lord, a huge blessing to know that they are imprinting those words on their hearts and in their minds. Alex's Pre-K class was the opening act for the school's K-1st grade musicals. He was soooo excited! I took great pictures of his smiling face, but have now misplaced my camera. As soon as I find it, I will post the pictures.

We had a relaxing weekend. The kids were out of school on Friday and enjoyed the day hanging out at home and then going to play with friends. I am continually thankful for those in our lives who love my children enough to take on the extra responsibility of having Anna even when I cannot be there. She needs that time away from us.

On Saturday we had the usual soccer and volleyball games and then headed out for some separate girl and guy time. The boys went to the Byron Nelson Golf Tournament and then to the Arbor Days Festival in Euless, where they met LOTS of people that Daddy works with and Alex was able to get LOTS of practice in on our latest initiative :) for him...looking and speaking directly to adults when you are spoken too (of course, not to strangers without mommy or daddy). Anyway, he did a great job and broke into a fit of giggles last night as he was trying to remember everyone's names and they just seemed to get funnier and funnier sounding.

Anna and I indulged in some of our favorite things...nachos at Taco Casa, country music on the radio, pedicures and shopping! We were happy to head for a pedicure with Adrina as she is in the final moments of waiting for her precious baby girl to arrive. Needless to say, we are almost as excited as the Mabry's themselves. Anna even gave Miss Adrina one of her famous, send-you-into-labor foot massages, in hopes of creating some action. But so far, no news. After the pedicure, we headed out to find some new summer clothes for Anna. We had much success and, I am happy to report, no arguing over clothes. We were able to find some things that suited her tastes and my preferences and budget. I must say we had one shocking experience on our adventure...while shopping at one store we ran into a little girl that Anna has danced with, played soccer with, etc over the last several years. The catch is...she was trying on bras?!? Maybe I am just in denial, but I am NOT ready for that yet. Can it really be coming? Not soon for us, hopefully. Between now and then, I will have to pray for emotional preparation for puberty :)

We did squeeze in a bike ride to enjoy the beautiful weather this week. Here are the snapshots...

Oops! Never mind, those pictures are still on the camera that I have misplaced. :) You'll just have to wait until I find it...

Blessings and prayer for the week ahead.
