My sister Cricket, who now lives in Michigan, called and said she was making a trip to Alabama and she wanted to pick me and the kids up on her way so we could finish the trip with her and get to spend time with them. I was not so easily convinced that a road trip with 4 little ones was such a great idea....but she talked me into it! We had an eventful trip! Each little one had something specific that they wanted to while in Bama and I think everyone was satisfied at the end of the trip.
My pictures got uploaded backwards so this journal goes from getting home to the beginning of the trip.....sorry! A Squirrel, Priss, Possum, and Bubba

Legacy Tournament
Joel and Possum got to fish the Legacy tournament today. This is our adult/junior division of Fishers of Men. It was an exciting day and maybe I'll video Possum telling about it later to post. Awaiting the results
Possum receiving their checks.

My Little Fireman
A couple of weeks ago Possum and I were in town and we noticed a lot of firetrucks in the old Wal-Mart parking lot. I pulled in to let him watch the firemen clean the hoses and such. He was just amazed! I decided that I would get out and ask one of the men if they might have time to show him inside on the trucks. They did better than that! The firemen showed him all around the trucks AND let him shoot water out of one of the hoses. He was pretty much speechless and just followed them around with his mouth hanging open! I didn't have my camera with me so one of the firemen took these pictures and emailed them to me. These firemen were great and super nice. Possum's 5th birthday is coming up and Mr. Frankie (a man in our church who is the fire chief at one of our county's volunteer fire departments) is letting us use their firehouse for his party. Possum is super excited!

Possum's Baptism












We had a joint revival with Brotherhood FWB Church a week ago and on the last night, May 21, Possum asked Jesus into his heart. This great night came after many years of Joel and I praying for him and after months of Possum asking many questions and praying himself that he would understand what salvation meant. We have all been very excited. Today Joel had the awesome opportunity of baptizing Possum. As you can see and hear from the video it was a very emotional time for us. I could not have been a prouder Mom! Poppa and Nana Bama came from Alabama and Pawpaw and Nana came from Tennessee for the big event.
