Randomness Round up after a very busy week...

James found a "treasure" at Dr. Dixon's last week and wanted to know that Big J would see it for himself...their new friend Mario 🤣🤣🤣
They are LOVING Steve's old Nintendo

 Everybody had to get physicals this month, which also means blood draws...☹☹☹

 ☹☹☹
 It was no fun (for them), and involved some tears, but we all survived and were able to shine the love of Jesus, so that made it all worth it!! 


 OH, and the PURGING!!!  
I am being set free in unimaginable ways from STUFF and I am loving giving away everything I can find that we don't need (which is A LOT of our stuff)...but this was funny...I have a tremendous closet and still seemed to "need" SIX additional closets that I kept clothes in in the basement...how ridiculous is that?!  
I know.  
But I've been set free and have gotten rid of 60% of my clothes and still going...and apparently I needed to do this, because my "closets" in the basement DISINTIGRATED anyway...I think it was a sign...🤣🤣🤣

 James.
He's brilliant, we know...see???
"DT3"...Da-Tee

 Praise God!!

Music, music, music!!

 Sundays are a favorite music day...lots of jamming and improv after church! 

 This little man made his own drum in school this week, and thoroughly enjoyed banging away on it!! 
 Big week!!  This week was the McMunchkins first ever rehearsal-with-other-people type thing...
 They were asked to play with a local kids fiddling group for an upcoming festival and they are super excited! 


 They did great at their rehearsal and are happy to be a part!   
 Then...oh, then! 
Steve was asked to play as well in the festival as the drummer for the fiddlers...so he went out and bought himself a new drum, of course...because he had to fit in with the country theme!! 🤣🤣🤣

 So he will be the one playing the barrell-secretly-a-cajon if you need him....
Love. This. Man!!!!! 
🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍

Wedding bells in Virginia!

We attended a lovely wedding this past week of some friends of our family, and had a grand time! 
 It was a little melty in the 95 degree afternoon sun...but very beautiful!! 

 Gorgeous setting indeed! 

 Overlooking the appetizers and barn...this was the cocktail and hors d'oeuvres hour...

 I think I had the best looking dates in the whole place!!! 
😍😍😍

 And these two can sure cut a rug on the dance floor!!! 

 They were hilarious!  We had a great time...
 Sweet Becca-Bride!!  
 And home for some late-night donuts!!!  

Congrats, Becca and Jack!

New toys & Indian Boys!

Our neighbors were throwing away a barely used kids four-wheeler, so our property manager scooped it up for James, as he knew James would LOVE IT!! 
 James was SO EXCITED!!!  

 He hopped right on and hasn't gotten off since...

 Love at first rev!!! 
 And James is learning about Native Americans in school this week, so we've had MANY craft projects.  Here he is in his animal skins and headdress!!
