"Na, na, na, na, na na"

Kenzie has started singing her new favorite song. It is by Hillsong and I think the name of it is I Adore. She starts bouncing up and down when it comes on and declares "Na, na, na, na, na, na" I love it! She is so cute when she does it.

She had a great week at school. She made the bus everyday. The teacher e mailed me today and told me that she has come out of her shell so to speak. Meaning that Kenzie is no longer the quiet child who she has to pry everything out of. Instead she is the chatterbox that you want to shut up if you could find the mute button on the remote, but it is nonexistent.

Maddie is enjoying her time with just mommy. She tried to walk again tonight. She is so close she can taste it. She wants to, but she is still a little afraid of doing it on her own. She will in her own time. She went to bed tonight without a cup or bottle or anything. Yes, she cried for a few minutes, but then took hold of her gator and played with him for a few minutes before falling asleep. How do I know that? Well, the gator makes noise that I can hear from the other side of the door. When the noise stopped, I waited a few minutes and then peeked in on her. She was sound asleep.

Ryan had a good day at work. He is still in love with his new job. He will be going to a U of L scrimmage(I hope I spelled that right) game tomorrow evening with Max and Ty. They got tickets for free and so he will be enjoying that.

I am starting to plan the cake for Max's son's birthday. I have to figure out how to do a Nintendo Wii. It is the new game console that Nintendo just came out with. His son has it and loves that game console. I will have to do it for him on June 22. Yes, I know I am planning early, but I have never done anything like this before. I am really looking forward to it. I will also be doing a bowling cake for Mindy. I need to start that planning process also. I can't wait to get them done. I will definately be putting pics on here when I get them done.

I guess that sums up the Cox Family Update for today. I love you guys and will update again when I have time...
Love,
The Cox Family

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
