Found it!

We found my camera battery charger!!! YAY! It wound up being spotted on Matt's nightstand, but there really is NO WAY that we both missed seeing it there for the 4 days it was gone. After it was found, we called Julia in to tell her. I said, "Julia, Daddy found the camera charger!" She replied, "Yay! I'm glad it was by Daddy's alarm clock!"

Wait just a minute.

I didn't tell the child it was by Matt's alarm clock; I just told her we found it. I think that a certain shortie in my house had a little bit more to do with the disappearance/reappearance of the camera battery charger than she will admit...

Anyways.

Now I can add a few pictures that I wanted to post earlier this week.

Here's a picture of what Julia and Audrey did on the way home from our trip to the movies Wednesday. Sitting on your bottom in a movie theater for 90 minutes can really wear a child out!!



And here's one of the shots that Photographer Julia took of me and Matt on our anniversary.

This & That Thursday

* I can't find my camera battery charger. No pictures this week :(

* Instead of a romantic dinner for 2 on our anniversary, we went out as a family. Before we left, I wanted to take a few pictures of just me and Matt. Julia was our photographer! Thanks Jules! I'd love to show you the pics she took, but it will have to wait until I can charge the camera...

* The girls and I headed to the Daphne Rave theater to see a FREE movie Wednesday. This weeks show was "Alvin and the Chipmunks." Audrey liked the 'big TV' and the snack I packed for her. She actually did better than I was expecting for her first trip to the movies.

* I made a potty chart for Audrey. Go, Audrey, GO!

* I've been prepping some this week for VBS next week. I've got the 4 year old class. Julia is kind of weirded out that I'll be in there, "You can't be my teacher. You're my Mommy!"

* I think she'll like the fact that her Mommy is her teacher when we go out this afternoon to hike around in search for some large sticks that will be made into fishing poles. She's into the whole fishing thing right now.

* I had Father's Day cards made this week. When I got home, I realized that I had a grammatical error on Matt's. I'm torn between my wanting perfection on the card and my crazy cheapness not wanting to pay to print it again. We'll see which side of my personality wins this argument.

Happy Thursday!

Happy Anniversary!

7 years ago today, Matt married a ridiculously fabulous woman.



:)

I love you, Matthew Sethew. Happy anniversary!

Adventures Outdoors

Matt had a staff retreat at the end of last week. Friday the families went up to the cabin they were staying in and joined them. We had a nice time getting to know these other families and enjoying a few new adventures together.

The girls got to ride on a ferry for the first time.



Both girls enjoyed their first time fishing.




Julia even caught herself a little catfish!



We enjoyed hanging out with some new friends.



A fun time was had by all!

This & That Thursday

* On the way home from Publix this morning, I was kind of daydreaming. Apparently, this daydreaming caused me to drive a little slow. I wound up getting passed by an old lady in a cadillac. She even had a handicapped license plate. I should be ashamed of myself.


*While I'm typing this, Audrey's refusal to go to sleep is driving me nuts. The girl can get LOUD!


*Matt drove up to Phenix City after church last night to attend a funeral this morning. He was planning on lying low on this trip, but that didn't actually happen since he wound up being a pallbearer. I know he was glad to be there to give support to some really special teenagers.


* After the funeral, Matt's driving to a staff retreat. He won't be back home until Saturday. BUT - Tomorrow, the girls and I are riding with the other church staff families to join the staff at a cabin somewhere in AL. We'll be hanging out Friday night and a little Saturday. I'm thrilled to have one less night that I have to stay at home by myself.


* I've recently becomed addicted to "Everybody Loves Raymond" reruns. I even checked out the entire first season on DVD at the library. Don't be jealous of my exciting life!

A sad day for Summerville

Our former church lost a great teenager yesterday in a car accident. Matt wrote a little about her here.

Night, night girlies!

Audrey was begging to get out of her room, but after her requests were ignored she just passed out on the floor.


After a long day, Julia needed a nap. I think she fell asleep in the middle of biting her fingernails.
