- First of all, Paul and I had a good anniversary- we went to Addi's last ballgame of the season. I'm kind of sad ball is over, but the next few weeks are going to be so busy we probably won't miss it!
- We had a celebration last Sunday for Mom and Dad in honor of their 30 year anniversary at the church at Sylvan Springs (formerly Maytown). I think they were really surprised!!! Especially since I think I got the dates wrong and the date is actually in July (that means dad had to be hired in June, right?). Oh well, I think they enjoyed it just the same. Everyone pitched in and we got them a plaque and a new lamp post for their front yard.
- We had a very nice VBS last week and the kids loved it!
- Hannah spent the night with us Thursday night and she is a true Courington girl- a night owl! Even though she stayed up 'til almost 1 a.m. we really enjoyed her visit! She is so sweet and I love her so much!!!
- Both of our vans went kaput so we broke down and bought a new vehicle! Yippee!!!! We bought a used 2008 Chevrolet Uplander minivan with only 8000 miles on it. Paul did a good job bargaining and I'm proud of him! We've only had it two days, but I LOVE it!
- Some of these bullets may be out of order, but I'm so behind I can't keep up!
- We went last Friday night to Free Friday Flicks to see Bee Movie and we enjoyed that a lot! Jasmine, Alex, the McCuistons, Joseph, Pam, Xander, and Sarah R. went and it was lovely. Lila slept through it and Levi was pretty well behaved. He sat in Ryan's lap with his new friend Ian for the last part of the movie. We may go again Friday.
- Now to our most recent "adventure." I was going back to the after hours clinic yesterday because my throat is still hurting. But when I was about half way there, Paul called me and said I needed to come home. Somehow (sigh), Lila fell off my bed and hit her head on the floor! She didn't lose consciousness but she did have a bump and I felt like we needed to have it checked out. So off to Children's Hospital ER. Long story short, she had some soft tissue swelling (aka a bump) and she is fine. It was scary because I wasn't here when it happened to see that she was okay. She was a real trooper and only cried when we had to hold her perfectly still for the cat scan.
- I did finally make it to the doctor myself at about ten o'clock last night and got another shot and some allergy medicine. I went to CVS at Greensprings to get my prescriptions filled so I could go ahead and start them and it was after midnight when I left the pharmacy. (In hindsight, I should have just waited until today).
- Lila is growing like a weed!!! She weighs over 18 pounds now and has 5 (almost 6) teeth!!! She is still the sweetest baby I have ever known!
- Levi is almost potty-trained!!!! YIPPEE!!! He still has the occasional accident, but for the most part is really doing well!
- Addi is- well, she's Addi!! She's really excited about all of our upcoming trips! She is also about to lose one of her top teeth! It's so lose it's hanging lower than the tooth next to it! She may swallow it in her sleep! I guess the tooth fairy better keep some cash on hand!
- We leave Sunday to go to Indian Creek Youth Camp for the week! I am excited, but I have a TON of stuff to do and pack for all five of us to go! And it looks like I'm going to be in a cabin for the first time in a while!
The mailing address to send the kids some mail is:ICYC
c/o Campers Name
7855 Pleasantfield Road
Oakman, AL 35579
- We get back from camp next Friday and then on Saturday we head to Branson, Missouri for a family vacation with Paul's family! We are excited about that too! This may be my last post for a while....but keep checking back...hopefully I'll have some pictures from all the latest events later!!!

Sounds like you've been busy!
YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEAUTIFUL
You guys sure have been busy! Tell Paul not to feel bad about Lila falling off the bed. Months ago, I was giving Macy a bath and put Charlie up on the counter in his portable bathtub with some toys and turned my back to wash Macy. At that age, I didn't think he could crawl out, but he mangaged to dive out onto the tile floor (from the counter), I felt terrible. Thankfully there was no damage and he seems to have forgotten about it. (Seth still doesn't know that happened, so don't tell him.)
I tell you one thing, seeing Lila fall is not an image I want to keep in my head. Luckily, she is fine and she was smiling at me 3 minutes later.
congradulations on the new van
Should I comment by bullets? :) Just kidding. I am so glad Lila is okay. You can turn your back for one second and so much can happen. Thanks again for keeping Hannah for us! Sorry she kept you up so late. We will miss you guys the next couple of weeks. It will be weird going that long without seeing you. I am sure when Hannah & Levi see each other after that long they will really go nuts! Be safe traveling. Love you! BTW, LOVE the van too.
