DEC 18, 08

Sorry I'm late again! -- but let's face it ,I'm

usually too busy to post on time. :-(

Well we just got a got a new computer.

The internet on it isn't workin' right,

so i can't use Slide to post justy's

birthday pictures. :-/ Well anyway

here's one and maybe i will have time on

Monday to post 'em all with my mom's

computer. (I have to get ready for Bible

study right now, and I have church

on Sunday)

Almost every time I get pictures of Justy the

flash makes him shut his eyes.
He is sooo cute!!

enjoying a sucker- a present from

Hannah Burtt and Kristen W.

The end of a wonderful day

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Anyway we
haven't been doin' much lately, just work

and school. The three oldest children

started attending a friday literature class

at the Southfield library. (We're still doing

all our school at home too of course!) and

everyone else is doing their normal school.

We went to South Side Baptist Tabernacle

yesterday and watched their production of

A Christian Christmas Carol. The place

was packed out!! If we hadn't gotten there

early we probably wouldn't have been able

to get seats. Anyway we did. Good thing too!

It was AWESOME!! The costumes were

great.And the set, lights and sound effects

were great too. We weren't aloud to take

pictures so we wouldn't distract the cast --

who by the way did very good! It's

surprising how well even little "Tiny Tim"

remembered his lines perfectly. I guess

that after doing it many times it

wouldn't be so hard anymore!

I (Mya) love how the play tells the

Christmas story in it's own unique way.

Watching it really adds to the fun of

Christmas time!

Happy Birthday Armani!!

Armani turned 17 on sunday.We

had a birthday party for him at
