Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are are at home and when you are on the road, when your are going to bed and when your are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

A Time for Celebration

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This past Saturday we got together with the Colvin side of the family and celebrated all the birthdays in one big celebration.  It was a great day, if I must say so myself.  We enjoyed a lot of good food and fellowship despite the heat and humidity.  The kids had fun, well, being kids.

This also marked an anniversary for Mamaw and Papaw, the first one she celebrated without her beloved.  I’m so glad she joined us for all of the activity.

My littlest cutie, London (yep, no baby yet:()  London thinks she can “wim witout a best”…swim without a vest.  ACTUALLY, she does fairly well in the hot tub where her feet can touch.  But I wouldn’t go so far as to plunk her in the pool and tell her to swim to the other side.  She LOVES the water and LOVED a day spent with her cousins.

This is the newest Colvin, 5 month old Lincoln.  He too enjoyed himself.

The kids and adults enjoyed challenging one another to games like washers, baggo (i.e. cornhole), croquet, and the new favorite…GAGA ball….played on the trampoline.

After working up a sweat Uncle Greg was kind enough to get in the pool and help the kids get the water moving to produce a whirlpool effect.  The kids were loving it.

London, note, she is wearing her vest. 

A lot of fun was had by all.  Before we knew it, it was 10:00 and everyone started to clear out as the sun quickly disappeared.  And just like that, everyone was gone.  Joe and I thoroughly enjoyed the day and look forward to more opportunities for good food and fellowship with friends and family…but let’s have this baby first:)

  1. We had a wonderful time! Cute pics. Cute kids. Of course they're all related to me so...I guess I could be a little biased. ;-)
