April Showers bring May Flowers!

Well we should have some awesome May flowers with all the stormy weather we have had! It seems like everday this week it has been rainy, stormy, and windy. The wind is the worst! Gusting at about 40 mph at times is really rough!I am holding out hope that tomorrow will be nice. We are planning to go to the zoo for the morning. I know your probably thinking that we go there all the time. Well, when you spend the money for the season pass you have to get your money's worth out of it! It is a great way to get out of the house and just have some good free fun! Well, aside from the price I paid for the pass anyway! So tomorrow we will take out with our pinic basket (aka cooler) and have some outdoor fun.

We have had lots going on this week too. On Monday all the boys got hair cuts. JC REALLY got his cut. It had been so fuzzy! His hair texture is like mine, it gets really quinky, curly in the humidity and when wet. It had been quite a while since his had been cut too. So here is a before shot...

And here is the after...

It has taken a little getting used to. It is very short. But with hotter days ahead it will be cooler for him. And it won't have to be done again for a while so that saves the money too! The hair stylist said this would actually make it grow a little thicker. I think that will be good for him. His has been kinda thin and baby fine.

Sunday Drew say in church with the children's choir, Generation Praise. They will be performing a musical for the church in a few more weeks and they sang a couple of the songs from that. The children's ministry was highlighted all through the service. There was a testimony given by young lady who is 12. She had been sick for some time back in January and so her parents decided to take her to the ER. Well before they could get her there she collapsed. They took her on by helicopter to LeBonheur. There they discovered that she had 2 brain tumors and did emergency surgery to remove them. They did not know if she would ever wake up. Miraculously she is completely healed now, just about 3 1/2 months later. She shared that she had never prayed much before the surgery but now she realizes how powerful prayer is and that God really does perform miracles. It was such an emotional time. I cannot imagine a dry eye in the church. It is so awesome to hear about major miracles like this that God does, but sometimes we take for granted the little things He does for us each and every day that are just as miraculous. Here is a picture of the choir singing...

In addition to the boys new dos, I got a new hair color on Saturday! It is a little darker and more like my natural color. It still has some lighter highlights through it. I wasn't really sure about it at first but Jim really liked it. So we are good! I also got new glasses. We decided that I would take a break from contacts for a while. So I got 2 new pair of glasses and they came in on Monday and I was able to pick them up. I actually took a picture of myself in them, I hate pictures, but I thought I would share them. I took them of myself, so they are not that great.

I am planning a haircut soon and am thinking about making a change, so stay tuned!
