Visiting the Herren's in Savannah,GA

Over Fall Break, we had the opportunity to go visit our friends Joey and Sharon Herren. They have two girls Kylie (6) and Kadie (3). It was a weekend trip that went way too fast. It made us miss them even more, and we look forward to seeing them over the holidays. Lincoln took a picture of us at this yummy pizza place in downtown Savannah. Lincoln ordered a salad (At age 5 he decided he didn't like pizza. It's the tomato sauce. We don't always show him sympathy.)

Brad and Joey looking for gators at the Wildlife Refuge.

To their delight, we saw this one just under the surface.


Looking for gators (this was not a warm weekend in GA)

Sometimes, Catherine's hair turns to ringlets around her face. I love it!

Tybee Island, GA

Tybee Beach

Coleman doesn't like the ocean. He thinks the tide is really taking him into the ocean as it receeds back over his feet.

Coleman and Catherine's little toes.

Brad and Joey took the kids (minus Coleman and Kadie) to the top of the
lighthouse. The adult you don't see at the top is Brad. He has a fear of heights- he gets it from his mom. I am proud that he let our children out of the tower to see the view. Lincoln and Catherine did not get the fear of heights trait but I think Coleman did. :)

Blackbirds having Small Group

Returning home from errands, I noticed a flock of blackbirds in our trees. As we passed the trees, I pointed the birds out to Catherine and Coleman and rolled down the windows so they could hear them "singing." As we pulled into the garage Catherine said "Mom, you know those birds in the trees back there? Maybe they are having small group." Yes, Catherine, maybe. :)

(Background: We just had our small group from church over to our house this past Sunday night. It is something we all love!)

This is something I posted on Facebook already. I just don't want to forget it.

"Well, Catherine just missed the potty. I heard a kid moving upstairs- looked up there and spotted Catherine , pants down, tinkling at the top of the stairs like she was on the potty. It is making me laugh- Bless her heart. She won't remember this in the morning. :)"

The next morning I asked Catherine if she rememberd tinkling at the top of the stairs. She grinned her sweet grin and nodded her head yes. She then immediately asked me where her rainbow pajama bottoms were- you know the ones that got wet and I removed the night before. Yeah, she remembered alright! ha ha :)

A Perfect Weekend for.....
