A Good Weekend

Hey everybody...We had a great weekend. Friday we went on a mid-day date (Applebee's and the Secret Life of Bees...I just now picked up on a "bee" theme to it). Then we had thought about going to the state championship soccer game because our local high school made it to the finals, but that ended up not happening for a few reasons.
Thursday we had decided to rent the movie Newsies, a favorite of Steph's. It's a musical about boys selling newspapers in New York who go on strike b/c they're not getting enough respect. I actually liked it (though we had to watch it on You Tube, b/c the rental copy we had wouldn't even read in our DVD player). So when I returned it they gave me a free rental, which I used for Elf--which I thought was absolutely hilarious this time around after hating it the first time I watched it a few years back.
Saturday we got some work done for school and church here at home. I was able to check in on a lot of my students and invite them to go laser tagging this Saturday. And we also went to "Cabaret," the local schools' choir presentations. They had middle and high school groups do their performances, and a few of our students were in it. They did a great job!
Sunday was a great day of worship. I got to do a children's sermon for the first time-about Veteran's Day. The kids in our church were very well behaved and paid a lot of attention, and Stephanie helped me maintain the group :) After the service I got to talk to a young boy and his family, and he's going to be baptized in a few weeks--by ME. It's the first time that I've had this privilege, so I am so excited!

Stephanie has been doing great the last few days is proud because she is starting to show just a tiny bit :) I am really proud of her and how she's handled the sickness, tiredness, aches, etc. She's really maintained a good attitude, and it's helped me to do the same. We still don't know what the Lord has in store for these next seven months, but we are trusting in Him and more and more excited about having a child!
