Mimi took the kids off to the library for a marionette show and then a special lunch at McDonald’s (where else?). Dwayne Sr and Jennifer headed out to run a few errands and then lunch at the Honey Baked Ham Co. We ended the evening with a grand Moore Family shindig with pizza – everyone present (minus Becca Boo).

UPDATE: Mimi has pictures from the marionette show, but we have to wait until they come off her camera…

This afternoon, we made the trip to see Mimi and Papa. This brought great joy to the kids, and thus the parents!  They played outside this evening and even took a golf cart ride with Papa to the playground (sorry, no pictures of that one).  Look forward to more pics tomorrow!

Nina and ALL the kids

This evening, Julia had her gymnastics class (something she looks forward to with great enthusiasm almost daily).   Nina and Pop came out to watch her at her “nasticks” as she calls them.  Tonight, the boys and I stayed home and played for a while, waiting on Mama to bring home dinner and we are now watching the NCAA Final, which is in overtime, and which Jennifer will win the coveted Moore Cup.  Pictures, I’m sure, will be forthcoming regarding that.  Speaking of pictures, I have uploaded a ton of pictures tonight to our Flickr account.  Check them out here.

We just praise God that He has allowed all of our children to grow to His glory and continue to pray that as they grow that they would grow in His grace and knowledge as well.
