The Creation Museum: Prepare to believe!

Today we went with Scott's parents and sister to the Creation Museum. We were part of a larter group from our church. The museum is just under 2 hours away near Cincinnati, OH. The museum is excellent. Although with 3 kids it was hard to read all of the exhibits - so I took pictures of the first half until Samuel got hungry. There is a petting zoo included with admission so later we got pictures of the girls petting the animals. I would highly recommend if you get a chance to go - do it!




And of course - my post would be incomplete without pictures of the aftermath:













P.S. I changed the settings so that anyone can post without logging in. Feel free to post now!

We have another tentative date. Scott had another meeting and it's now September. We are going to finalize some issues on the contract and we have some repairs to complete on our house - then hopefully we are off on our adventure.

David & Goliath: AKA Titus & Samuel

Samuel went to go see his new buddy Titus - born 6/20 @ 6 lbs 12 oz. Wow what a difference. Samuel weighed 10 lbs 6 oz when the picture was taken. He is 4 weeks & 3 days, Titus is 3 days old.

We had portraits taken today. Enjoy.

Kids do the darndest things!

This is the latest picture of our new addition - taken today in his favorite place - his car seat.

Last night Scott was getting Madeline ready for bed and couldn't find her PJ bottoms. He holds up the first thing he can find and asks "Are these your PJ bottoms?" Madeline of course replies affirmative. Later when I saw her I thought it was odd - I don't remember anything like that in her wardrobe. It continues to bug me as to what she was wearing until I was putting Samuel to bed. - Madeline is wearing his pants that he wore to church! I have no idea how a 3 YEAR old can fit into 3 MONTH old pants - but alas she did. They were more like really tight shorts. I hope that she hasn't stretched them out too much.

This is Madeline asleep. I don't know how she can sleep this way, but apparently she woke up from her nap too early - and needed some more sleep.

The 100 year Flood

If anyone has seen the news - out town was one of many in Indiana affected by the 100 year flood. We were lucky enough to only have to deal with about 4 inches of mud in our garage caused by excessive runoff. Our church wide trip to the Creation museum got delayed because all the roads to the church were covered with water. We got 8.8 inches of rain in just over 15 hours beginning Friday 6/6 and going through Saturday morning. http://www.reporter-times.com/stories/2008/06/08/news.nw-899552.sto

is our local newspaper story. In the one overhead shot the big blue roof if the top of our local elementary school. Most of these pictures are within 2 miles of us. My SIL is a nurse @ a hospital and the ER is flooded, her husband is a security guard at another hospital that is totally flooded.
