Slower times

Things haven't been quite as busy this last week with the Warren's so there hasn't been as much to write about. But we still had plenty to do. It was our first week without soccer practice on Tuesday and Thursday nights......however, somehow we were able to find other things to do to fill up those nights. Both Christian & Rebecca have been elected as 4H officers in their class, so off we headed on Tuesday night to a 4H Officers Installation & Training. Christian will be the Vice President in his class and Rebecca will be a Service Project Leader. They are both excited about that.


On Thursday, they both went on their RISE fieldtrip to Traveler's Rest Plantation & Museum in Nashville. What is this? Here is their mission from their website: "Travellers Rest Historic House Museum, Inc. is committed to the preservation, research and interpretation of the historic house, collections and grounds that represent life in Middle Tennessee from the Native American period through the Civil War with an emphasis on the period 1789-1833, when Judge John Overton lived there." The kids had a great time and really learned a lot. They both came home with pumpkins and Rebecca spent much of her time making crafts from the different time periods.


On Friday after school, we headed down to Franklin (Leiper's Fork) and went to Mom & Dad's. Matthew was asked to perform a wedding for the grandson of someone in our church and so we decided since he'd have to be in Franklin on both Friday night and Saturday afternoon, we could take advantage of it and hang out at Mom and Dad's. We had a great time and even got to visit with Cassie & her kids on Saturday.


Other highlights of the weekend were Georgia's win over LSU (GO DAWGS!!) and getting to see HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 at the theatre!


Here are just a few pictures I took this week - nothing exciting - in switching out our summer/winter clothes, we found some cute hand-me-down jammies for Julianna and I had to get a picture. Also, Rebecca did her hair completely on her own and I was quite impressed so I had to take a picture of it, too.


Boring, I know - but more to come soon!!!!


New jammies (well, new to Julianna!!)
Rebecca is very creative with her own hair & this was impressive to me!

How cute! Tell Rebecca I am impressed. I found something on Emily's blog (eerfamily.blogspot.com) and it made me think of you. Have you ever been to scrapblog.com? I used the software to make a text-only presentation (posted on my blog today), but it is intended for photographs. It is really neat and you can order books of your work.
