because i haven't touched my computer in DAYS!
i've been living...fully living...
friday i spent the day with 2 extra kids.
a dear friend was {IS!} SUPER sick and needed help.
it was a GORGEOUS day and so fun!
but maybe gave me a little more patience in waiting a little bit longer before i add 2 more to this craziness :-)
then we left saturday morning after a 12 1/2 mile run and a little yard work and joshua's basketball game for richmond!
owen turned 7 years old!!!!
and we were invited to help celebrate!
we started out sitting on the vcu side because that's where the sun was.
but the kids were cheering...LOUDLY...for "JMU!"
the kids continued to cheer...and figured out how to make their noisemakers squawk LOUDLY!
the vcu coach sent some people from the field over to us and asked them to stop!
crazy!!!
the kids kinda mellowed out after they couldn't cheer and we realized the whole stadium was like a golf tournament or something...SO quiet!
oh, well..i think we provided some entertainment :-)
at least someone appreciated us!
i'm sad that i didn't get a picture of ali...such an encouragement to my heart.
but i have her words in my heart....they always lift me up!
we are very blessed...
it was good for me to LIVE FULLY for a few days...away from my normal lists and even my house!

Love that you had a weekend with those that you love. So funny that the kids were the only ones cheering at the baseball game...at least they were having some fun! Too funny that the other coach asked them to stop...how will his players ever make it in the big leagues? ;-)
fun fun.
much more 'relaxing' than my weekend ;-)
Ahhh, loved your post Courtney. L.O.V.E.D : baseball cupcakes (cute!), Sawyer sitting in a regular chair (so grown up!), Joshua and Owen together, JMU player tending to the little guys (impressive and life changing), you and Rebekah (sweet). Simply....thankful for your service to Peyton, fun, friendship....for YOU. Wonderful few days! Love you.
Forgot.....oh, you must be tired...but a content tired.
it feels sort of nice to be away from the computer for a bit, right? :) SO glad you got to go spend the weekend with ali and co.!!! the boys look so cute together. what's with the quiet, empty baseball stadium? and them telling the kids to be quiet? that's ridiculous!
thank you so much for coming! i hope we didn't set you back too much. praying for your busy week.
Can't believe you got shushed at a baseball game! Who does that?! Glad you had at least 1 player that appreciated all your cheering! :)
you are a sweet friend and friday was such a gift to us. and I am glad we could "help out" with the patience part of waiting for 2 more. let me know anytime you need a reminder in that area :)
