Fam update...been a while...I know

Ok. I've had a really tough couple weeks (nothing like Liz's last few days) fighting off depression and loneliness and blah blah blah. But that's why I haven't posted anything here. There were a few happy moments though. Here's what we've been up to.

Last weekend we took Lu and a friend to the Ceramic Cafe and each painted a ceramic "thing" of our choice. I will blog about my snail experience later when I get a pic. Sunday, we went and saw the play "Annie" with my parents...yikes! We sort of made nice-nice at Christmas because they had no one to spend it with. We're on truce-like terms. My radar is tuned to extra cautious and I'm proceeding carefully. In other words, I will only be around them in public situations. They behave. "Annie" was cute. Lucy loved it. I liked the movie script better but this one was particularly quirky in its characters and lines. After we went to Corvette Diner, which is always fun. Lucy requested a song and the DJ liked her name so much he kept talking about her and played the "I Love Lucy" theme song. Lu had a ball.

I'm really trying to make Lu's days count for more and spend quality time and enrich her life on a weekly basis. She's been fighting off a little bit of sadness too and that scares me to death. I hate that she has taken on so much adult concern and she, like me, is empathetic to a fault. I keep racking my brain as to how I could've shielded her better from the situations with the families. Nothing I can do about the past, I know. I just hate to see her hurting.

This past Sunday we ran down to W-Mart and my parents called and invited us to lunch downtown. We ended up having lunch and then went to the Ruben H. Space Theater for their Ocean's Documentary. Of course the theater is always cool (although we sat a little too close and got a little dizzy) but the show isn't the best one for kids. It's a little boring. It still has it's interesting points and the shots of South Africa are beautiful, as are its people, but...the film in its entirety is a little boring.

We might be famous soon:) Well, sorta. We got a call last week from a producer at The 700 Club that they might want to do a story on our business blessings through this economic downfall due to faithfulness in tithing. We have a phone interview tonight. I don't know if they'll do a story but it's cool to be considered. Tithing is a biggy in our family and we like to share its blessings with others, every chance we get. Looks like we might get our chance on a much grander level.

I can pull out a few prayer requests in this blog. It's like a game. There are three. If you can find them, and you keep them in your prayers, YOU WIN! Love you all...smooches:)
