Sunday, December 5

a full weekend

on saturday evan and i and some of our friends helped out the down syndrome association of northern virginia christmas partywe helped kids make crafts with some friends, while our other friends took pictures, tried to make kids smile and not cry on santa's lap, and print pictures.  i wish i had pictures of all the fun the kiddos were having.  it put a smile on our face just to watch them!!

my favorite part of the whole event was when a little girl notice my hurt finger, it was in splint because i hurt it playing football.  she looked up at me and said, "i'm sorry it hurts." then she leaned over and kissed it... she was so sweet. that was one of those priceless little moments i hope i never forget!!

after the party was over we headed to shirlington to celebrate katie's birthday!!  it was a wonderful day of food, fellowship, and fun!  (bummed i don't have pictures!) 


sunday evan helped lead worship at church.  i love watching/listening to him when he leads.  i think he does a super job, maybe i'm biased.  one of the first times we hung out he lead worship for a young adult retreat.  that weekend i learned the song. your love is extravagant.  my favorite version is his. maybe one day he'll record it for me.  (HUN-NEE i can make you a list of songs if that will help  :) )

in the afternoon katie, anna, and i had a unique girl's time... in the hospital.  anna is 6 months preggers and has had a heck of a pregnancy.  it has been neat to watch her remain calm and reliant upon the God in really uncertain and even scary situations with her pregnancy.  we are praying this baby continues to cook for at least a few more weeks!

this weekend was full of lots of things to do, but it also left my heart very full.  i was reminded of lots of things to be thankful for...including waiting on God!

we got pictures!!  here are a few pictures from the holiday party...
