Kanuga

My brother plays in The Five O'Clock worship band at The Advent in Birmingham. Their band has been asked to lead the worship at Kanuga Renewal Conference in North Carolina the past few years. Sybil and George have told us how wonderful the week at Kanuga is but we have never been able to go. We finally managed to get our entire family (minus my sweet Mama who so stayed home to help my grandfather who had emergency surgery the night before we left) to go this year. We stayed in quaint little cabins with no phone, TV, internet, or air conditioners. But with lots of fans and a great screen porch- we had a relaxing and renewing time. We had wonderful worship and bible studies, went on hikes, took naps, laughed, played in lakes and streams, ate dinner (that we didn't cook) together, stayed up late together, etc, etc... James had a wonderful time too, but due to a lot of chasing him around, I don't have many pictures to share. Below are the few I had:

Lett's Get Our Hair Cut

It was time for a haircut!
I have been wanting to get James' hair cut for a while now- his bangs were getting in his eyes and really bugging him...poor little guy. I always make too big of a deal out of all the "firsts" so I have been putting off the 1st haircut... trying to think of who should do it, when can we do it so that Zack and I can both be there, etc. But today was the day. When I got home from work we took James to a new hair place in Prattville, Lett's Cut Up (Lett's is the last name of the sweet lady who cut my baby's hair). Well James was not very sure about the whole thing- but he sure looked handsome in the end. Here are pictures of his first haircut experience.





At this point all he kept saying "I want Mommy" so we had a little switch-a-roo!





All done!!

Jesus loves me

I put James down for his nap a few minutes ago. After a loud clap of thunder he sat up and started singing the following...

"Jesus loves me.... bible... yes... yes... yes,
Jesus loves me... bible... yes... yes...yes"

Yes James, Jesus loves you!! My cup overflows!!
