Summer in Texas

Well the summer has been pretty steady and HOT! Things at the church are moving right along. The children's study on Wednesday nights has been a great time of God's Word, fun and food. We had VBS around the middle of July and had a great turn out of 45 kids. We gave away 3 bikes and a couple of iTunes gift cards. At the end of the 3 days we had a big fish fry and had a great turn out of all the parents and church members.

I went and registered Abbi for headstart the other day and she is so excited to be going to school. She starts Aug 27 and will go M-F 7:45 - noon. I am excited for her to be able to meet new kids and have new friends. So far all 7 of the kids in her class are girls. Mom and Dad are ok with that!

Titus is growing bigger and developing great. He now says juice cause that is all he likes to drink. He is running all over the place and learning to stand up to his big sister

We are excited to be having the Hundleys, some friends from Illinois, coming down to see us tomorrow. It will be a great time of fellowship and catching up while we have been apart.

Enjoy the couple of pictures I was able to get loaded

We had some Family Pictures taken this summer and you can view them by clicking on the link.

I apologize for taking so long to update...I have a good excuse though....I have been trying to upload some videos and I guess our connection speed here is to slow, but I am going to keep trying. I have been on here several times over the past month trying to get them to load. Maybe next month you'll get to see some videos of abbi dancing to swing music...it's funny ;)

sibling rivalry

Well it has finally happened...after all the lovey dovey Abbi has done to Titus...he is now getting into her stuff. She now says "mom I wanna play by myself" (Gasp! I never thought I would hear those words). Tyler laughs cause Titus can now aggravate his sister. That is the funniest thing that has happened recently. Here are some of the other changes....

Tyler has been working hard at the church. He has got the church a website now so check it out here fbccrowell.org. He is making the way through the Gospel of Mark on Sunday mornings and he is starting a new study on Wednesday nights called "How to Study the Bible".

I am about to start a children's study on Wednesday nights called "Big Questions and Answers" I am opening it up to pre-k - 6th grade. We are doing a test run through the summer to see how it goes and how many kids we get. I am pretty excited and anxious :) I have been trying to start a new hobby called gardening :) So far Abbi and I have planted some sunflowers and some other flowers and they are still alive...YAY!

Titus is walking and almost running now (watch the video in the previous post) He is learning the hard "NO" word. He has his 2 front teeth in now which makes 6 all together. I think he is trying to say sissy...at least he has the sssss down. His first birthday is this month! I can't believe he is already a year old!

Abbi is growing up to be a beautiful young lady. Her hair is getting so long, her vocabulary is growing, her knowledge of picking out letters and numbers is increasing! I am so proud of her. She is also an excellent big sister although sometimes she wants to be his mother! (wait till she learns about that pain ;)) She got a new tricycle that she is riding, a swing set and a little pool. She does still talk about how much she wants to go back to Illinois. Poor girl she kinda understands but doesn't really cause she tells me "When we go back to our old house...brother Brett can teach us and Danny can sing" Aw her whole world was turned upside down. She does like getting to see all those grandparents and great grandparents though and even the great great grandparents!

Enjoy some pictures and a video of Titus dancing. I will try to get more pics of Abbi next time....she doesn't like being in the pictures much anymore...she likes to take them.
