Boom Chicka Chicka

The TV today turned to football automatically when the Univ of Texas game started, and Claire turned to me and said matter of factly:

"Mama, I do NOT like football."

So, in honor of that and because I still can't find my camera, I was going to show her classic "I do NOT like football" pic... but I couldn't find it. So here is what I bring to you instead.

Our Friend Scott

Was a great man. He was funny, a great father and a great husband. He had 4 little ones and the 2 girls are each about 6 months older than Claire and Luke. James and Scott played softball together for several years, and we were blessed to go to church with his family.

Scott passed away today, and we are very sad. I'm not sure why Scott didn't get a chance to raise his children or why he wasn't able to keep being the encouraging force he's always been since I met him. It doesn't make sense, and I don't understand.

Depending on the plans, we'll be trying to go up there for his memorial. Because if there is anyone we'd want to memorialize it is Scott.

Luke at Church

I was taking pictures for our church website (and my website on Sunday School) and I took a pic of The Lukester. Unlike Claire, he usually has a "I'm cool, you can take my picture if you want. I don't care. Whatever." attitude on his face.
