<\/a> My sweet baby had been quiet through most of the service, but the baby dedication was at the end.\u00a0 About the time they called us up to the front, she had had enough.\u00a0 She started screaming and literally nothing made her happy.\u00a0 So all of us were at the front of the church and Georgia was WAILING!<\/p>\nLaurabeth’s dedication was first, and I’m not sure anyone heard any of it, due to someone’s very loud screaming!\u00a0 Then our poor pastor said, “Sounds like Georgia is eager to be next,” so we were bumped up.\u00a0 As soon as we got to the microphone, she was quiet…for a second. Psalm 100<\/p>\n 1\u00a0<\/sup>Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. 4\u00a0<\/sup>Enter his gates with thanksgiving <\/p>\n .<\/p>\n My crazy family (minus my brother’s fam)<\/p>\n Brad’s mom (Nana) and Georgia.<\/p>\n We sang in a nursing home.\u00a0 By far the funniest moment was when one of the children handed an elderly lady a candy cane.\u00a0 She looked at him, politely handed it back, and told him he could eat it.\u00a0 He said, “No!\u00a0 It’s for you!”\u00a0 She tried again to let him know it was okay, he could have it.\u00a0 Finally, frustrated he said, “NO!\u00a0 The candy canes are for the OLD people!”\u00a0 Priceless!<\/p>\n LK was definitely the song leader of the group.<\/p>\n I gave Brad a gift that I knew he would love!\u00a0 Our garage was HORRIBLE!\u00a0 It was such a disaster…a big dark cave, full of strollers and balls!\u00a0 For his birthday I gave him a surprise garage makeover.<\/p>\n I could NOT have done it without Brad’s dad!<\/p>\n I also had a crew come paint, because I wanted it to be a “while you were out” type surprise…and it would have been if my dear husband had not come home during the day (like his wife warned him not to!)\u00a0 It was still exciting and a great gift to him, but just not the surprise I had hoped for…so there’s no picture of pure shock and joy on his face, but I still ended with the same result…a clean garage and a happy husband. :)<\/p>\n Don’t judge!\u00a0 We have too much stuff!\u00a0 WAAAAAAY too much stuff, but we have always managed to get 2 cars parked in the garage…it was just a MESS!<\/p>\n Okay, so I spent way too much time watching FRIENDS and not enough time posting.\u00a0 I haven’t even gotten to Christmas yet!\u00a0 There’s always tomorrow…except it’s 1:30, so I guess it already is tomorrow.\u00a0 I’m not tired, but I know if I don’t go to bed, I’ll be as mean as I was today, so it’s time to say goodnight!<\/p>\n Nighty-night!<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Psalm 100<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n 1\u00a0<\/sup>Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.<\/em> 4\u00a0<\/sup>Enter his gates with thanksgiving<\/em> With all the lovely birthdays of last week, I have not yet posted anything from December.\u00a0 In December I was too busy posting Thanksgiving.\u00a0 I am SO behind, but I am going to post as much as I can right now so that I can be “caught up” on the old blog!
