Happy Tax-Free Weekend!

Tax-free weekend -- every bit as festive a holiday as Christmas, if you ask me. The four of us hit Target in a big way today. We got the girls shoes, Chad some clothes, and I got (among other things) these really cool shoes...




...for only $9.99! Life is good.

Oh -- about all the Target comments. In Bryant, AR, where we are moving, they are building a brand new one. So yes, I think they know I'm coming.

My biggest source of stress right now (other than the fact that we are putting all our earthly possessions in a truck and leaving friends, a town, a church and schools we dearly love) is the fact that I haven't found a Mother's Day Out for Jenna yet. With the freelance writing I do at home, I really need a place for her to go a couple of days a week. She's on the waiting list at the Baptist church and the Methodist church won't take her til she's 2.5, which won't be until February. The other day I said, "If they only knew how cute she is, I'm sure she would get right in." Julia said, "Yeah, you should take her there so they can see how cute she is. And hope she doesn't smack anybody." No one knows Jenna's violent side better than Julia, that's for sure.

Here are some pics from our last Wed. night at Missouri St. CoC:

Julia and her Dorito hands.





I turned 35 that day and I'm STILL smiling.







I lost track of Jenna and found her in our preacher's office, surrounded by admirers and posing for pictures. That's our girl!
