MPCS Homecoming

The girls' school, Mount Paran Christian School, had their Homecoming last week, and they put on a big parade at the end of school on Friday.  Parents were invited to watch the parade, so Grant and I were able to join the girls to see it.  The floats made by the students (and I'm sure quite a few talented parents as well) were so impressive, especially the seniors! It was a movie theme, so each float was a different genre, and they were all so creative.  The girls LOVED the Eagle, seeing Dr. Tilly, the headmaster, and getting a stuffed cow from the Chick Fil A cow.  We are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful school, and the friends that we've made here are the best!

Weekend at Big Canoe

Josh's brother, Cody, was home visiting on a two-week break from his tour in Bahrain, so the whole family went up to Big Canoe for a mini-vacation at the end of September.  We had a great time relaxing in the mountains with the Gentry/Johnson/Ford clan.  We visited Burt's Pumpkin Farm and a huge sunflower field on Saturday, and we rented a boat and spent the morning on the lake on Sunday.  It was such a fun weekend!
