Saturday

Well we said our thank you's and good bye's to those great folks we met at Calvary Chapel because of the AngelFood program. Nancy and I first served at Cornerstone our mountain church home and felt the need to serve when we came back to Florida for the winter. Now it seems our son's church Element is going to start the program in Tampa so of course we will serve there instead of Calvary. It just amazes me how GOD builds relationships through programs that help serve, of course remember CHRIST came to serve not be served. What a role model we have now we just need to JUST DO IT(where have I seen that logo).

Nancy and I was setback with our favorite store(just kidding, Publix is) Wal-Mart when they sent us an e-mail on Friday that they had cancelled our order(which was on the way) for Ava's kitchen which we were to give her on Saturday at her party. Short story long is we left Angelfood and went to Toy's R Us and purchased this beautiful wooden kitchen that came in a box weighing nearly a 100 lbs and was 8 inches high by 5 feet long. Well it took me 3 1/2 hours to put that creature together but it was well made and should last her until she gets married,ha ha. Actually we liked it much better than the one we had ordered. Ava and Annsley cooked several meals for all of us in the short time they got to play with in before the sand man arrived last evening.

Tyler smoked an amazing brisket which I must admit I had never eaten (or just don't remember). You could cut this with a fork and it just melted in your mouth. Luckily we ran out out before I totally ruined my arteries. The dinner was the best as Cindy(Tyler mom) made this super mac and cheese as well as homemade vanilla ice cream(there goes the arteries for sure). Nancy made a great bake beans casserole and cold slaw and Amy baked a mocha chocolate birthday cake for Ava. What a superb meal and a birthday party for Ava. She unwrapped presents forever. She was so subdued I wondered if she was alright. Cindy and Robb(Tyler's dad) gave Ava a blow up bounce house. The girls were in its having a super time so much so Annsley continued to bounce while we ate. The girls were just worn out but had so much fun and really love to get together.

Well this week promises to be an exciting one for Ava as Robb and Cindy are taking them to Disney world for 3 days. Ava can't wait to see Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Donald Duck, she just lights up when you mention Disney World. Nancy and I are busy again this week starting this morning where we will do our last nursery at SFBC as we do the 4th Sunday; then we will be hopefully working at Cornerstone Church in the mountains as its getting to be that time when we head for higher ground and cooler temp's. On Friday its off to Tampa to help Element with the Motion Filmfest plus all the weekly activities we are involved with. Sure will miss Ava and Amy this week coming by for lunch but this is a preview of what we will expect this summer.

Well I've rambled long enough. This evening G/G and Pap invited us to their house for dinner. Here are a few pics. LATER.
