Our Weekend Highlights

Hey everyone.....

We had a very nice weekend up in South Carolina with Todd's dad and Carol. We went to see a play at a church near Columbia called, "This Man Called Jesus". It was awesome. It was a play of not only the nativity but all of Jesus' life from the birth through the resurrection. They had over 400 cast members and used all live animals throughout it. We were not allowed to take pictures in the actual play but as you can see above, Bailey got to pose with "Abraham" the camel that one of the wise men came in on. The girls loved it. This is the 20th year this church has done this play and it was packed.....the building behind the church was built just for this production and seats close to 3000 people. It was standing room only in there. They only do the play the 3 weekends before Christmas. There were tour buses from all over the place in the parking lot.....it is a great show and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to plan it for next year.

Sarah had fun looking at all of Carol's villages she had set up. She must have close to 100 houses and they are all over the house, so in the most unusual of places you would find a village scene set up. It is amazing. We headed home about 3 on Sunday and got in about 8:30, so it was a quick bath and shuffle into bed.

I do ask that you keep our friends, David and Beth, in your prayers. David was taken to the hospital on Friday for a few units of blood to be put in him. His blood counts were very low and they are saying he is bleeding somewhere internally. He is going to have his "tests" done tomorrow morning to see if they can find out where. Please keep them lifted in prayer that all goes well and that the outcome is a minor one. The doctors do believe it is in his GI tract, but still the unknown is scary for them.

We are headed to Sarah's Band Concert tonight and Bailey has cheerleading practice as well. She is doing cheerleading with our church again this year for Upward Basketball. So I will be running the mommy taxi for most of the afternoon. I will talk to you all tomorrow. I hope you are all staying warm up....especially up north!
