First Sushi Experience

I can remember the day that Erica took me to have sushi for the very first time. I was addicted from the word go. Erica and I absolutely love sushi. Well, our daughter loves everything (or so it seems)...while she may want something one day and not the next, she will usually return to a food in a couple of days. She has never been a picky eater...she just knows what she wants when she wants it...and she almost always wants what mommy and daddy are having.

A couple of days ago, we were at some friends house and Bailey got to eat her first crawfish...she loved it. Yesterday, I took the girls out to dinner at a buffet that happens to serve sushi in town. Like most evenings, she wanted what we had. She specifically asked for (pointed to) the philly roll and the tuna. Both of which she scarfed!

So I give you Bailey's first sushi experience:

Thank you Bailey for being such a great eater!

Today we spent the day with Grandpa Joe (my dad) in Crystal Beach near Bolivar. We rode around in the boat, did some fishing, and just generally hung out. While Bailey didn't make the entire 6 hour boat ride (her and momma went to shore to try to get a nap...a fruitless endeavor, unfortunately), she seemed to have fun while she was on the water.

We didn't have a regular camera with us. But there was a point where Grandpa and Bailey were driving together that warranted breaking out the Blackberry to capture the moment. Here it is:

Here is today's prayer:

Lord of all life, I use thousands of words each day yet so few of them are about you. Forgive me. I see and meet many people but forget that in them I could be meeting you. I busy myself in so much rushed activity that I blank out the silence within. Forgive me. Help me to retune our lives to the silent music of your beckoning presence. Amen.

Here is today's prayer:

O Lord, open our lips and we shall praise your name.
Send out your light and truth to be my guide;
let them lead me to your holy hill, to your dwelling place.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen.

Early 80's Flashback

My friend Jenni discovered an old picture from the early 80's of our Spanish class with Senorita Lemm.

Since I have been in a humorous mood this evening, I thought I would share a personal funny with you in the form of a picture (I am the goof on the far right with the glasses):



I owe Jenni big now!

A Little Humor for Your Evening

I have to say a huge thanks to Pete the Brit for giving me the biggest laugh I have had this whole week!

Here is the video that left me rolling on the floor laughing:



Have a happy and safe weekend!

Here is today's prayer:

Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil,
for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.
