I have to brag on my sweet Riley. Thursday night, she and several friends auditioned for Tuscaloosa Children's Theater's production of "Seussical the Musical", a muscial based on the books of Dr. Seuss. We found out yesterday that she will be playing the part of a fish/hunches (not sure what that is)/circus-performer. She is sooooo excited and we are so proud of her. About 150 children, teenagers, and college students tried out, and only 80 were cast. It has already been a great experience, and I am sure she is going to learn so much. So, there is my brag for the day!

An Egyptian Princess, a Sitter-Upper and a Walker Funny

This week has been CRAZY at our house. Doctor's appointments (no one is sick, just check-ups); school programs; piano, basketball, and singing practice; laundry piled up like Mt. St. Helens; auditions for a children's theater musical; and let's not forget the all-important Bunco and major sale at Old Navy!

Among all the craziness, we had some fun, bright spots here and there.

Riley played the part of an Egyptian princess in a school program about Ancient Egypt. She did awesome and sang beautifully! She was so excited about wearing all the make-up, but was definitely ready to get it off at the end of the day. :)

Owen is now officially sitting up. I sat him on the floor, just yesterday, to see what would happen and this was the result. I took a picture because he was too precious. He actually sat there for 5 minutes. He is getting so big, too fast.

Walker asked the other day, "Why is Jesus' name Amen?" I thought it was hilarious. I know he has heard us say at the end of prayers "in Jesus' name, Amen" and probably thought that "amen" was Jesus' last name? Who knows. The things kids say...

So, there are some highlights from our week. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
