Disney World - here we come!

We had a special time with the kids Sunday night when we presented them with girl/boy - Mickey/Minnie baskets with special Disney items -- and let them guess what grand prize these "clues" were telling them. David immediately queried, "Are we going to Disney World?" And they were all very excited when the answer was YES, and included Daddy Barron, Grandmama Jan, Mama Elizabeth, Daddy Chris, Uncle Nate, and ... David, Caleb, Abigail and Julia!!!!! They have 90 days to talk to their friends who have gone before and find out the Do's and Don't's, the Best and the Least of what to do at Disney World. David talked to Uncle Nate on the cell phone to let him know that the SECRET was out!! It was even more fun the next day when they told their great-grandparents and their Aunt Julie about the plans.

Was so glad that we made it to Phenix City on Saturday in time for the visitation with the Carroll family. They certainly took a tragic event in their lives and made it very special for all of us at the funeral on Sunday when they shared a video of Rodney's life and theirs -- especially when Shea and Matt took time to give us their perspective on their Daddy, his influence - and most importantly on his spiritual walk with Jesus!! Amen!!

We took advantage of Cathy and Billy being away on their Mediterranean cruise to use their home as our base for the weekend. The girls spent the night with us Saturday night where we all ended up together in the master king size bed! When we left on Monday, the kids were enjoying Water Day at the church!!!!!

Y'all are going to have so much fun!!! That was so sweet of Caleb to want his friend to come too. I wish we were going back soon! Maybe next summer.

We are looking forward to our friends visiting in just seven weeks!
