Family Picture

I told you I would scan it once we received the awful attempt at a directory picture, so here it is.

And to think that Jay wanted to actually have this put in the directory!

The Wedding

This past weekend we went to the wedding of one of our previous youth. It was so good to see all of our "old" kids and they were so glad to see Andrew. This picture is of Matthew, Codye (Weaver's new bride), Matt Weaver, Tip and Jay. We have some great memories with these guys! (How did Deana not make this picture!)

Matt Copeland has always been one of Andrew's biggest fans as you can see:

Andrew did so great! We had a lot of reservations taking him to a wedding, but we bought him the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie and put it on the floor in front of our pew and it kept him occupied during the whole service. And even some afterward...he really loves that movie! During the reception he just ran around saying "picture" wanting me to take his picture. Which is pretty ironic if you refer to the previous post. But here are a couple he posed for:

The wedding was in Big Spring, Tx which is really in the middle of nowhere. We drove a total of 15 hours to and from the wedding. On the way back we saw this crazy wreck. We're not sure how something like this happens....

On our way home Sunday we stopped in Eastland, where we used to be on staff, and went to church there. It was wonderful to see everyone again. Overall it was a good weekend, but very tiring with all of that driving. We're glad to be home and hope to not go anywhere again anytime soon!

Andrew: MIA

There is no photo to go along with this post, but there will be one coming soon. Since Andrew has been in our lives we have now had three directory pictures made for church. They've never gone great, however, we've always managed in the past to get that one pose where we're all smiling and thus have an acceptable portrait for the directory. Tonight that all came to a very dramatic ending. Andrew was having no part of it. We did get several of him "in" the picture, but I use that term loosely. That means he was in a shot where I was trying, without success, to hold on to him and Jay was trying to reason with him while the man snapped a photo. In each of these pictures he is screaming and Jay and I are looking at him, trying not to lose it in front of the photographer. We actually got our free 8x10 of one of these poses because it is quite funny to look at. When we get this picture in, I will post it for your enjoyment. Jay really wanted one of theses awful poses to actually go in the directory, but I talked some sense into him. So instead, Jay and I will be appearing in the directory and Andrew is, as the title says, missing in action for this year's directory photo.
