Lately, I have been taking the kids on "Mystery Rides". This means we are going somewhere but mommy does not know exactly where we are going. I pack the camera, some candy (to be used as bribes), toys and we go find a location to take some pictures. Our mystery ride last week was to Umstead Park. It was a great morning of "simple" fun. The park was very quiet and gave me a chance to have fun with the kids and of course take some pictures. Today, K and I picked B up from school and we headed for an old barn. Thanks to my friend Ginger who suggested the location. We get there, camera and candy in hand and the first thing B says is I have to go potty. And being the mommy that I am, I say "Oh honey, can you squat and go behind the barn". That goes back to my North Ga. Days. And being the child she is, she says, "No Mommy, I need to go on the potty". So I only got a few pictures but it gave me lots of ideas. It just reminded me that no matter how much I think I have a plan/scheme, God always has a different one.

Suz --- what a wonderful and meaningful way to record your memories and feelings! These are such precious and amazing days with your family. I think this is a fantastic way for you to be able to look back and remember special times and see how fast the kids have grown. Way to go!! By the way --- give Bailey some time and she will learn how to go outside!! Eva now likes to go "as the boys do"!! Love ya lots, Christy Jeanne
