Tour of the Tables

A couple weeks ago, our church hosted a women's dinner called Tour of the Tables.  I had been, or even heard of, this event.  However, our friend Amy had been to one in the past and she decided to do one that was themed for our new church.  


You see, each table was themed, tying it in with a bible verse.  I wish we had taken pictures of some of the other tables.  Anyways, it was a women's 3 course dinner and show, essentially.  Our dinner was served to us by David.  All the servers were men.  David went above and beyond pulling out his blazer and tie.  
Here we are with Hannah, in front of our table, right before the dinner started.  


Here's a close up of our table.  If you zoom in, you can see the guy on the tailgate is fishing, as in fishers of men.  We have cornhole bags, to represent playing cornhole.  Our bible verse is out of Isaiah "behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs forth; do you not perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."  


My grandma and aunt also attended.  They sat at the backpack table.  This was Hannah's favorite table.  Our church has a backpack ministry, where they pack backpacks every Thursday for in need children across the street at a local elementary school.  The backpack is filled with food and drinks that last the kids through the weekend.  So the backpack table had school lunch trays and plastic cups, and looked very much like a school lunch setting.  


There were a few beach themed tables.  There was a book theme table and an Africa theme table, a gardening table and a princess table that had little tiaras!  Our evening ended after a comedian.  We had a really good time, to include David.
Having done it once, I feel more prepared to do it again, and have thought talked about next years theme!

Life is

Simply busy.  I think this is the new normal for us.  How can life not be busy when we're constantly keeping up with 3 kids!

Joshua continues to grow, and eat, like the little chunky monkey he is.  This past weekend we moved him up to a size 2 diaper because size 1 no longer fit.  For perspective, Riley wears a size 3!  On that note, Riley is house potty trained.  Meaning, she doesn't go away from the house because she doesn't want to sit on a regular size potty.  However, at home, she goes in her potty about 80% of the time.  







The kids at co-op love Joshua.  


This is last Wednesday, after co-op and before Awana's.  We went to Great Grandma Davis' house for pound cake and Valentines crafts.  



I've made a new house rule: you can not watch the movie before you read the book, if it applies.  We started with Frozen.  She's read the book, now we can see the movie.  



This past Sunday we went roller skating with a group of people from the church.  


Riley LOVES to roller skate!  Being on skates makes her calmly happy.  I've pondered strapping some to her feet for when we're at home! ; )  


Some of our friends from church.  


Here's Hannah and Joshua, watching the Olympics last night.  
Hannah continues to be my helper, assisting with Riley and Joshua when needed.

Fishing with Grandpa Davis

Last Saturday we went fishing out at Grandpa Davis' house.  He just built a new, fancy, 2 level dock complete with sitting benches.  Makes for some comfortable fishing.  


I absolutely love this photo.  


The adults all threw some lines in the water as well.  However, the fish just weren't biting on this day.  I think Hannah caught 1 or 2 brim but that was it.  We didn't even get nibbles on the catfish lines.  


Grandpa was telling them something.  I can't remember what though.  






The girls had fun.  Hannah stayed with his fishing pole for a long time!  Then Riley and Hannah toddled around the deck.  Riley did good, she remained aware of the edge and didn't get too close that often.  Besides, there were enough adults around that it wasn't too difficult to keep an  eye on her.  We hung out for a few hours.  Hannah and Riley played with the minnows.  Riley really liked them, and as usual, showed no fear or trepidation at grabbing them repeatedly.  Hannah grabbed a couple but they kept managing to squirm out of her hands and through the crack in the deck.  So I finally told her she wasn't allowed to grab anymore.  It was a good afternoon.

Christmas Festivities

Note to readers: moving during the Christmas season is rough.  You have so much to accomplish from moving, and you have christmas visiting requirements, which make for a SUPER busy holiday season.  

Ours started with my Grandma Davis' house on the 23rd..  
The photo's are all a little blurry in spots but they're the only ones I have.
Cousins, aunts and uncles.   


My dad, helping Hannah.  



Riley, with my grandma and aunt, in her christmas best. 


Hannah, getting her nails done by my cousin.  


After we left my grandma's we went home and pulled in the driveway at the same time as David's dad.  David had to work on Christmas Eve; when he got home we piled in the car and went to my mom's for dinner and gifts.  Hannah, in more of her Christmas best.  This is actually an outfit my mom and Art got for Hannah last christmas.  


Me and momma


Dinner, yum. ; )  I took this picture to send it to my sister; ham, butter beans, corn casserole, tomato pie and mashed potatoes.  To make her jealous.  It worked.  And then I stuffed myself.  


Riley, being uncooperative.  


Ready to open gifts, especially Hannah.  



I don't even know......
