NLCF Kids!

Today, Daisy spent her first day in NLCF Kids. She's been "eligible" for a month and a half, but we hadn't taken her yet. Jeanette kept bugging us, telling David that if he can't trust Daisy with her godmother, who can he trust her with? Good point Jeanette (she's the director of NLCF Kids and Daisy's godmother!).

Finally, we decided that May was the month. So we took her today, and she did great! I think it was harder for daddy than it was for Daisy.

Here he is picking her up after the service:




I think he was realy glad our friend Kristen (above cleaning up) was in with the little ones today. She's got a 1-year-old and is prego with number two, and I know David trusts her since she's a mom. :)

Look how happy he is to see her! What a great daddy!

Saturday

Yesterday morning I ran to some yardsales and did some errands while David and Daisy had daddy -daughter time. He posted some pics and videos of that already.

In the afternoon, we went to the VT-Boston College baseball game with our friends Adam and Hannah.

Here's Daisy decked out in her new VT outfit. (She had outgrown all her others from the fall.)




We moved out of the stands and onto the grass so Daisy could play on the blanket. We tried staying in the "shade" of the pole but eventually we had to give up and move outside the gate under a tree.




Here are the boys talking baseball.



David's sister Lisa came in for a quick visit in the late afternoon/evening. For whatever reason, I didn't snap any pics of Lisa and Daisy. Maybe it was the sun -- I think it stunted my brain. :)

In the evening, Daisy and I went to a bridal shower for our dear friend Kristal.










Daisy hung in there for a bit and was passed around between ladies who wanted a "squeeze." After a while, she got tired and eventually fell asleep during the opening of the gifts. Jeanette took this picture of her snoozing on my shoulder:


Overall, a great day!

Leadership Banquet

Tonight I attended my 12th NLCF leadership banquet. Per tradition, I posed with my former roommates.


The night was full of hood food and great company. The staff did a skit and Daisy got to make a brief appearance, but I didn't have the camera ready.


We got to see our friends from the campus HG we used to lead. They loved seeing Daisy!





All in all, a great night!

A few quick pics...

I've been meaning to post this pic for a while. This is daisy's future best friend and maid of honor. Her name is Penelope. Aren't her and daisy beautiful? They were born two weeks apart.


After a hard day playing at daycare, daisy needed a nap on daddy.


I couldn't resist turning the light on this morning to get this picture of her still asleep in our bed.


And a couple pics from the past. Even though this was a long night and the hardest as parents to date, don't my two favorite ladies look cozy... And beautiful!


Oh shwarma how I miss you...


Oh how I miss Wendy loving shwarma even more than shwarma itself! When your spouse loves something you love, is there anything better?

I can't wait to travel with my jet-setting girls, soon!

Jim's Autograph

I mentioned back on April 8 that Jim, our friend and pastor, had his first book released. Tonight, he had a book signing at Books-A-Million in Blacksburg. He signed approximately 140 books in 3 hours!


It was really cool to be a part of such a special night! Way to go Jim!
