Like Sisters

We started out our weekend going to Conner's grad party on Friday night. It was fun to see everyone and meet some new people that we have heard about in the McLelland's household over the years. Stories of past vacations and holidays. The girls instantly became glued at the hip playing together. We slipped out a little early with Kelsie and Morgan to go to the dive in movie at our pool but disappointingly they had cancelled it because of the wind. The girls still had fun playing and the ended up staying up until after 1 a.m. even though we went to bed and the were up by 8 a.m. The next day we went to the pool first thing and stayed there much of the day then met the rest of Morgan's family at Outback for dinner. The girls hadn't seen each other so they wanted to spend the night again and since Kelsie and I were planning to stay home instead of making another trip to Prosper we agreed that would be okay. By Sunday around lunch time, they were fighting like sisters. I guess they had enough - just girl stuff, bickering over who crossed the line on the scooter and went too far - we're talking inches people. But, by the time we were taking Morgan to her house they were great again and wanted to play more. Of course, we thought it wise to separate them for a while and pick up again later in the week for more swimming. So, Tuesday we will have several of the girls over to the pool to swim. Should be fun especially letting them reconnect a little before heading to camp on Friday. So, since we spent so much time at the pool, I finished "Mountain Top" (Robert Whitlow). It was pretty good. Also, I forgot to mention that I finished "Baby Proof" by Emily Giffin and it was okay but not as good as "Something Borrowed" and "Something Blue" I read last summer. I can't decide what to start next...probably something from Karen Kingsbury.

House Update - please continue praying. The people that were so interested in it last weekend bought something else in Benbrook. None of the other showings we had last week have given any feedback. We are hopeful because we have had many more showings but no offers yet. We are expecting a market analysis report from our realtor so we can see if our asking price is in line with others or if we need to lower the price significantly. We will continue to pray for God's timing to be revealed and patience while we wait. As I mentioned, we did not go to Prosper today but Wayne said the services were good and we are praying for all of those who are going out tonight to make contact with those families who were interested in finding out more about God and us. We also pray for the 10 who accepted Christ this week, that they will be discipled in their young faith. We are blessed to be in a growing body who love to "do life" together.
