This has been a really fun month for our family. This past Sunday, of course, was Joshua's 30th Birthday. On Saturday we got a babysitter for the kiddos and went to see Josh Turner in concert at Sea World. Afterwards we rode on the new roller coaster ride called 'Manta,' which I was totally freaked out to go on. You dangle upside down in the air, like 200 feet above the park, for a good bit of it... On Sunday we got Cold Stone and took the kids to the park. And then on Monday we had some good friends over to celebrate with a taco dinner and carrot cake (his favorites). The bast recipe I've ever had for carrot cake, here's the link: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Carrot-Cake-III/Detail.aspx. I made it into a two layer round cake instead of a 9 by 13.
The kids have been growing up so fast! We've started going to Bible Study Fellowship every tuesday morning. It's been wonderful on every end, and Azariah has been learning so much. Evalyn began walking...or sprinting, to be more accurate. She's into everything:) So I've been quite busy simple doing damage control. She has started using sign language to communicate more and tries very hard to form words. She also say's "hi" and "by" to people, waving her right hand in the air. I can hardly believe she'll be 1 year old in a week! We have a lot of fun on days that are pretty low key, yet I'm still learning how to create a warm & loving home environment. God's been so gracious to remind me often to love them tenderly & affectionately, which makes 100% difference in their responses to me. Quite the process of learning, but so worth every second.
