Perfect evening for putt-putt...

Last night Gabe and I took Max and Gabe's little brother, Elisha, putt-putt golfing! It was the perfect night for it, and it wasn' t crowded at all - so we got to take our time, snap some photos, and just be goofy (my fav. way to be:)!! We also took them to eat at McyD's, Wal-Mart to pick out a small toy each, and then Scoops for ice cream - spoiled boys:) Here are some pictures from our super-fun night:Also,last week my brother (Clay, also known as Uncle "Faye") surprised Max with a new kiddie pool. He was sooooo excited and couldn't wait to start splashing around - even though the water was FREEZING!! Ok - my pictures are messing up and I can't get them in order, but you get the idea:)

It's 1 a.m. and I can't sleep! Max is with his dad...which leaves me with an empty bed and an empty heart. The only way I can stop thinking about things is blogging and watching some T.V. - even though there is NOTHING on at 1 a.m. I also heard some upsetting news tonight about a fatal car accident, involving a boy who graduated from Barr-Reeve (where I teach) this past May. My heart breaks for the family...prayers keep running thru my head for them, wishing I could do more. Pray for parents tonight who have lost a child...in whatever way...I can't imagine the unbearable pain. But God knows their pain...feels their pain...and He is the only One who can heal our hearts. Be near, Lord.
