I am going to post again… so here it is. In honor of you!

I’ve been trying daily to post something. And on the advice of my expert blogging husband, didn’t want to do the typical blog post that says, “Sorry it’s been so long…” or “I haven’t posted in so long because…” And if you read my first post, it’s not the easiest thing for me to just gush all of myself out for everyone in the world to see. So all of that put together has made me keep pushing it off and pushing it off.

So enough about that. Here’s the catch-up list of what’s been going on since August:

DisneyWorld vacation–we had a blast. We just about sweated to death, waiting in incredibly long lines with whining twins and grandparents (not really–the twins didn’t whine at all!) and walked and walked and stood and stood. We got some great advice from Stacy Gardana before we left–you can bring food and drinks into the park. Saved us from dehydration and bankruptcy. Thanks, Stacy! I think Lincoln has some pics on his blog if you want to see.

And I guess all the walking did something to my back–enough that I was down in bed for a few days and had to postpone my trip to Africa. But I think it’s all in God’s timing because there are so many things that we’ll be able to do with the new schedule that we wouldn’t have been able to do orginally. So all in all, it was a good trade.

I also got to see my niece, Sadie Mae, born. That was really cool to be able to be a part of. I was there to video tape (modestly, of course). It was so much fun. She’s an Edwards, so she’s one of the most beautiful babies in the world.

I’ve also been busy with Africa stuff. We’ve been working on a “Backpacks for Africa” drive, Christmas Card project, video trip planning… next to my family this is always consuming my thoughts and energy. There’s info on all of this at the Cup website if you want to check any of it out. Thanks so much, Lori and Carole, for all the work you’re doing for Africa. Y’all are both amazing!

All for you, Carole…

Watch this video. Its one of the funniest cat videos I have seen in a long time.

Who is this Lincoln guy you have heard about being a worship leader? He is not the guy from Lincoln Park. He is not the guy who is the boogie man of the dark. Whether he likes it or not the people of the town of Ozona call him a shark.

Ok thats a stupid little poem I did which makes no sense, but I think its pretty funny.

We left for Houston this morning–had a great ride, babies were calm. It’s amazing what DVDs in the truck will do. We got to the hotel and the twins realized that they were “living the suite life” just like Zack and Cody. They watch that show on Disney Channel all the time. Rhett points at the TV and says, “We like Zack Cody. That me. That Rhodes.” They’re loving it here.

The last time we took a road trip, Rhett threw his shoes out the window. We’ve been surviving on flip flops (which they hate) or no shoes at all–that wasn’t going to work today. So they picked out their own shoes and wanted the “bask-ball shoes.” They think they’re totally cool now!
