Wow, what a wonderful, amazing, busy and memorable weekend we have had! The Bowman's arrived Saturday afternoon, to the delight of of all! Collin could hardly contain himself waiting he was so excited.
What do you do in an empty den? Why, play football of course!
The Buddies. Friends since Collin was 10 months old.
I was able to squeeze in a few minutes to do some Bowman family pictures as well. :)
I can not put into words how excited I am to have these type of settings to do pictures in on my own property!
They are both in the 6th grade right now, but are already talking about rooming together for college at Auburn. :)
Christopher wanted to be in one too.
Sunday evening the installation ceremony started at 6pm. At 3:30, Sam's parents arrived from their drive from Alabama. At 5:00, 8 friends arrived at the house from Louisville to check it out, then we all went over to the church. More Louisville friends were there, and several families that Sam worked with in Madison 7 years ago were there as well, which was a special surprise.
It is now official, as you can see by the sign.
Most of the installation committee. `It was a very special evening. The sermon and the charges were wonderful and well spoken.
The big buddies! Brannon and Sam.
Baby Trip visiting for the second time since we have been here from Louisville.
Kellynn and Kaebrie - totally inseparable.
Mrs. Montine playing Vanna. :) More about the coolers at the end of the post.
Three incredible friends!! ( I love you all SO much!!! )
Ms. Dale, Sarah, and Dawn
The arrangements one of the ladies did in honor of tonight.
Kaebrie took a break from eating for a quick snuggle with her JuJu.
The food was AMAZING!
When we got back, we put the little ones to bed, and sat down to visit around the fireplace. We pulled in the dining room table chairs and some outdoor furniture to have places to sit. :)
Sam's parents, Jerry and Kay (AKA Poppa and JuJu).
The whole gang!
2 days ago a delivery truck arrived. I told them they must have had the wrong address because I had not ordered anything. They insisted they were correct and delivered a full size freezer, a welcome gift from the church.
Wow. We were very surprised and very thankful. I was already planning to finally join Sam's Club so I could do bulk shopping and fill it!
The picture above with coolers? Well, the ladies of the church filled the freezer for us last night. I don't think I will need to cook until 2009!
What an incredible gift!!!!!
All the company is now gone and we are going to attempt to start school back up this week. Attempt being the key word in that sentence. When the packers packed up my classroom, they labeled the boxes OFFICE. When they packed up Sam's office on base, they labeled the boxes OFFICE. When they unloaded all the stuff, they took everything labeled OFFICE to the church. Last night Sam brought back about 20 boxes of my classroom stuff, so that needs to be unpacked and organized. I was not happy to see more boxes being brought in! But I guess they can't do their work without all the necessary stuff.
