May 18

It's a BOY!!!

Our snake, that is. After church yesterday, Clay and Julia headed to the reptile expo and came home with a spider morph ball python. Here's his first photo... look at Julia's smile! She'd better grow up to be a Herpatologist/Biologist (in other words, I'd better get something in return for allowing a snake in the house!).

Then last night we went back to church for the combined campus celebration (there are 7 locations of our church, and 4 times a year everyone gets together for worship).

During the service they invited all the children that have been adopted to come on stage to celebrate all the adoptions. Our friends Russ and Carolyn are in the back on the right with their little girl Samantha (Russ is holding her in the red dress)

After church they continued the celebration outside with bouncies and ice cream

Kat didn't do this for long. She said, "it's too crazy in here."

Funny Kat Story
: Yesterday morning when I dropped Kat off in her Sunday School room at church, she walked into the room, held her finger out to her teacher and proudly declared, "I have a boogar". Her teacher politely said "thank you" and took her to get a tissue to wipe it off.

The girls wanted to see him first thing this morning...his aquarium is in the living room behind a baby gate, so they can't have access to him without us. Snakes are nocturnal, so he's been asleep all day. The rule is only Daddy can get him out, so they haven't even asked to hold him today...
