We were so thrilled to have Sally Gary visit this weekend. She has been a part of our family since a certain red-haired boy at Wylie stepped into her classroom and asked, "Are you the teacher who directs the one act play?"
Sally is ministering to the church with a very contemporary ministry so needed in churches these days--You can hear her at the Zoe Conference in October for which you must register now--it is filling up.
Maddie and Ella and Sam love "Aunt Sally" too. She usually brings them gifts having to do with pigs (it has a BST Connection), but this time she brought them two games: Ants in the Pants and those monkeys one has to hook togehter. Remember those?
Sally had not made the Puffy Muffin, so we did that for breakfast yesterday. Ella came with Daddy since Maddie is now in school on Mondays. It was a Daddy Date which Brandon is committed to every now and then with each child (Sam is a little young yet, but he will be included too). I think it is a wonderful tradition and shows the child that Dad thinks you are special and worthy of time.
Sheryl and I attended a baby shower for Sara Williamson this weekend. With her usual panache, Sheryl wowed the crowd by decorating the tables. (This was a sit-down brunch for about 30 people) 3 large tables. Taking her cue from the shower invitations, she decorated (that is, covered different boxes with white paper and painted the same designs as were on the invitation on the boxes, and then stacked and filled them with flowers). She also made napkin rings for everyone in matching colors using wrapping paper cores and delightful ribbons. What a master!!!
And then we had Celebration Sunday last night--a true blast in more ways than one.
I realized as we sang "Listen to Our Hearts" that it is one of my all time favorite Zoe songs.
It was certainly a fun weekend for all of us.
