Flat Chrissy Helps in the Nursery

Theron and I work in our church nursery once a month. Last Sunday night, we took Flat Chrissy along to help. Can you spot her, hiding in the toy chest?

Sam helps us in the nursery, too. Here she is holding Mikaela, who just loves Sam. Michael is holding Flat Chrissy and wondering what in the world she is.

Flat Chrissy goes to Africa

Our church just finished up our annual Missions Conference. We had some wonderful missionaries with us. The Owens are going to Sierra Leone in May and the Browers are home on furlough from Africa. While no one was looking, I let Flat Chrissy enjoy the missionaries' tables. Chrissy loves Missions Conferences, so I took Flat Chrissy along on our final night. :) Flat Chrissy in Sierra Leone

Can you see her?

Flat Chrissy makes a new friend!

Sunday Night After Church

Every Sunday night after church, the guys hang around the gym and play basketball and/or skateboard, etc. TJ and Johnny decided against playing basketball this past Sunday night and instead, did skateboard stuff. They spent a lot of time teaching Michael Blakemore to skateboard, too. Michael trying to figure out how to get on this thing without it rolling away!

That's TJ on the board and Johnny videotaping him.

This one is my favorite. Looks like Michael is really telling TJ something!

Fireproof

Hi, there is a new movie coming out this August, by the same church (Sherwood Baptist) that put out Flywheel and Facing the Giants. The new movie will be in theaters in August according to their website. Just thought I'd put the word out, as I just found out about it myself. :) Oh, and the movie is called "Fireproof", and sounds great! Click on the link to the right and read about it on their blog!
When Facing the Giants came out in theaters, none of the Fredericksburg theaters ran it....(they didn't run Amazing Grace either). So, I'm going to keep up on this one, and start a petition if they choose not to run it!! I'll keep you posted!!

Chrissy Fine Arts Pix

PCC has Fine Arts programs periodically during the semester. This one was a great one...Christopher Parkening performed Classical Guitar last night. Theron & Rod Salter used to listen to his "records" all the time when they were teens. Theron is very jealous that Chrissy got to hear him in person! Chrissy with her suitemates

Ashley and Chrissy

Pretty Chrissy. I asked her to have Ashley take some of just Chrissy for me. Chrissy is not a camera hog at all, so otherwise, I wouldn't have seen any of her...she would have been taking them of everyone else. :)

Chrissy, again...can you tell I miss her terribly?
Chrissy looking pretty, as always

Flat Chrissy Goes to the Country

Since Mary wouldn't let Flat Chrissy come to the Blue Man Group with Theron and me, she took Flat Chrissy with her to the Weavers. Here are some shots they took:Kristen & Flat Chrissy

A Day of Fun

Last weekend, while Theron and I went out of town, the Bryans took TJ, Sam, & Mary

(Flat Chrissy, too) to visit the Weavers for the day. The Weavers, Bryans and our family used to do a lot of things together...the Weavers moved to Red Oak about 2 years ago, so we try to visit when we can. We still haven't been able to get all three families together, but hope to soon.

Below are some of the pictures the kids took for me. Johnny quarterbacking during their touchfootball game. Oh, and please don't tell his doctors..they think he spent the weekend knitting!!

That's Stephen with the ball.
