Challenges and Accomplishments

It's been more than a week now since I completed the week of prayer at Burleson Adventist School. I really think that it went well. The students were respectful and engaged. I spoke out biblical characters and my theme or title was "Lessons from the Little Ones." I tried to highlight what five people: Moses, David, Daniel, Esther, and Jesus learned during their childhood. I really enjoyed it and at the end I offered an invitation to the older group of kids to have bible studies: the week of prayer was divided into two groups with grades Pre-K through 4th in the earlier section and 5th through 8th in the following section. In the younger section a girl from 4th grade requested bible studies without any promptings and in the older section a fifth grade boy also requested bible studies. I'm looking forward to working with both of these children.

Olivia Rose Baldwin

Okay so this entry is about four years late. Four years ago my little Olivia came into this world. And ever since she has been ball of energy and spunk.

Sugar and Spice

Just about everything is ready for Isabella's arrival. We've painted Isabella and Lex's room a soft yellow or off-white and we painted the closet and trim a color called nature's green. We aslo rearranged the room and added a crib, changing table and several other things to make the room look really nice. We put together the new stroller that Liz was given at her baby shower at work and put the new carseat stand that goes with the stroller in the truck: the vehicle that Liz will be using. Over the past several weeks we've made additional changes to both the inside and outside of the house. Liz painted our bathroom a bright light green. We raked up the leaves in the backyard (although more have fallen since) and we put in a true compost pile in the back right corner with wire fencing that Liz attached to some metal stakes. I also planted a red oak in the front yard to replace the maple tree we had cut down and I planted a photinia bush to close up the gap between o...
