We're just back from our trip to South Carolina. We visited my parents for a few days and had lots of fun. We spent one day boating, fishing, and swimming at the lake. Another day was spent at the Riverbanks Zoo. They have four lion cubs. SO CUTE! The evening of July 4th, we were sitting in the neighbor's yard watching fireworks. It wasn't a huge municipal display, just a couple of neighbors chipping in to make some fun for the kids - and more fun for the big boys playing with fire! The fireworks weren't as impressive as a professional show, but the sense of community was more than made up for that... and we didn't have to fight any traffic. :)

This week we're in Bible School. Our theme is honor and I can already see it affecting the behaviour of my boys, especially Evan. He still whines a lot, but it's a lot less than it was. Maybe the end of the week, he'll be whine-free?? I'm co-teaching the kindergartners and 1st graders. We had 29 in that class today.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love, honor one
another above yourselves. Romans 12:10 (NIV)
