plumbing issues and Luke's first haircut

Yesterday, I took Luke over to play with our neighbor, Christy's little girl. Her daughter just got a new play/swing set in the backyard and since it has been in the 60's around Memphis, everyone seems to be enjoying the springlike weather. Luke was having a blast carrying a ball around their yard, but is still a little wobbly in the grass, so he was often falling forward and catching himself before he fell down. Well, one of the times he fell down, Christy mentioned that she saw a little booty crack and we had a good laugh.

That of course leads me to mention (follow my train of thought here) that Chad and I are still having hot water/plumbing issues in our bathroom shower. (Did you follow?) Anyway, this morning I took a VERY cold shower. This problem has been going on now, for about 3 months--off and on. Needless to say that's not a fun way to start the day! **If any of our Memphis friends read this---send us recommendations for a plumber!!

It makes me realize though, how lucky we are and how much God has blessed us! We have food, shelter and clothing and plenty of people who care for and love us. There are so many people in the world who aren't even lucky enough to bathe at all. So, enough about that!

Luke got his first haircut today! He was an angel and wasn't bothered by it at all. I had my girl, Mandy, make sure to leave some of his curls in the back. I wasn't ready to let go of all of them! Don't worry, I didn't choose to dress as a zebra!

First Blog Ever

Okay, so I have always wanted to be one who kept up with the times. I feel like I've been pretty good at it until text messaging came along. I see my sister with her phone and it's like her phone is a part of her hand. It's amazing. She can text a thousand words a minute!! So, I attempt to try and text her one day (and a couple of other friends who complain that I don't text) and it takes me, literally, 7 minutes to type "Hey, how are you?" on my phone and send it. Quickly, I say forget it. Why not just pick up the phone and ask her how she is? Not that I won't try again, Biffer, don't worry.

I also tried the myspace thing out---only enough to create a page and never use it again. I think it's for younger (and yes, I feel old writing that) and single people.

Then, there's today. My friend, Amber, in my Mother's Heart Bible Study mentions she has a blog. I get excited and think WOW another advancement in technology to attempt! So. . .here it all begins. Maybe, I will stick with this one!
