Had a fun Friday! Had all my girls together!


I love the leopard look!

We enjoyed lunch together. She’s always such a good baby.

I love hanging out with the girls!

Friday evening K and I watched Doc Martin and Longmire. We’ve almost watched all 6 seasons of Doc Martin on Netflix. Hate it when the binge nears the end!

Saturday morning, Ashley came to our house. We put Penelope in my car and we drove to Mommycon.

There were quite a few dads there. Glad to see that.

I always have such a great time with A&P!

Not sure if they’ll ever have a Grandpacon. Ash said that sounded, “Creepy.”

I found the convention quite interesting.

We went to the “Moving Baby” and “Moby wraps” breakout sessions. It reminded me of the Kenyan women wrapping their children on their backs with a kanga.

It’s amazing the products that they have for children today. I think we may be entering a golden age of child rearing.

Watched Foyle’s War with K.

One of my favorite things! Recording!

I really enjoyed recording this particular episode “INcourage!” There are some wild and very personal stories on this one! Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Link on Facebook.

Dropped the financial report off at our treasurer’s house. Way to go Ashley!

Met up with Pastor Keith Pierce and our partner Mateo Menendez from Mobilizing Students.

Always great to see Kathy, too!

Mateo, Ashley and I had a further discussion of expanding ministry with a school and training grounds in our area. It has possibilities.

Deposited money in the bank.

Went to the mission to work with the kids.

2X tables this week.

Kathen was a top contestant this week with a time of 44 seconds for 50 problems. Faster than most grownups, I reckon.

Enjoyed supper with Kathy and Jesse.

Voice is really tired after this long day of talking. Victim of my own demise.

So beautiful.

I uploaded my podcast, “Ask” last night.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms went through the area last night and early morning. Nearly 2″ of rain. Nice.

Always a great day whenever I have Ashley and Penelope on board!

We met up for a meeting with our friend Jorge from Colombia. He’s interested in starting a Bible study in one of the apartment complexes, perhaps Azalea. We took him through Huntington Creek and Huntington Terraces, too.

We had a good lunch at Ashiana, then went up stairs to see our friends at the Hindu temple. Everyone loves Penelope.

We tried to find a Lifeway Christian Bookstore nearby, but the one near Chamblee was closed.

Had a great time with the kids at the mission.

I love having my little partner with me.

Watched Doc Martin with K.

When baby ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.

Beauty!

Unbelievably warm today. Got up to 76! What?!

Recording this morning! Yeah, baby!

Great episode on how important it is to just “Ask!”

This Red Shouldered hawk watched me the entire time.

Picked up a check from FBC Mountain Park to help me with car repair expenses. PTL for their generosity!

Walmart to the family shopping.

T&G to pay for the repairs to my car yesterday.

Home to put the groceries up.

Picked up Ashley and Penelope at their house.

Then off to Perimeter Church to see our friends there. Had a good visit!

Always love to show off the magnificent baby!

She was such a blessing today.

Off to the mission to work with the kids.

P is a big hit with the other moms!

Uploaded and put the link to the Verbal Surgery episode on Facebook.

They had four signs identical to this one where I ate lunch.

I’m such a grammar nazi I had to go and tell them their mistake. Don’t know why I can’t let stuff like this go.

We loved having Penelope with us Saturday evening. What a sweet angel!

The engine light came on in Lil’ Red, my PT Cruiser. On the way to work, she started to hesitate so I took her straight to our mechanics.

Turned out to be a faulty cam shaft sensor.

Picked up Ashley and Penelope in Clarkston.

Met up with our partners at First Baptist Atlanta.

We made a presentation to the leadership of the choir from Pioneer Drive Baptist Church from Abilene, Texas.

We took them on safari to Plaza Fiesta.

Great to show off the magnificent baby to our friends.

Always fun at the Buford Highway Farmers Market and Asian Square.

Never too much baby.


Went to the bank to deposit money.

Mission with the kids. I’ve discovered something even better than working with my daughter, Ashley. It’s working with Ashley with Penelope on my knee! I’m crazy about this baby!


2X Tables this week. EZ.

Beautiful sunset.

Watched Doc Martin with K. We love that show.

Yes, thank you.

How come I didn’t get the memo about this?

Cool.

Enjoyed Friday with Jesse! Always great to have him around!

Went for a 2.63 mile run. I almost waited too late! Beautiful!

K and I had a fun lunch today. We ate outside at Red Lobster. Gorgeous day.

Resting my voice. Looking forward to watching the magnificent baby this evening! Yeah, baby!

Near miss!

Ashley, Penelope and I went to visit our friends at Peachtree Corners Baptist Church this morning.


PCBC was one of my original supporters when our family first got to Atlanta. Great church. We hope to mobilize many of them this year.

It was awesome to see our friend Shay there. She’s been a huge advocate for us.

Went by Perimeter Church to see our partners there. They were in a meeting. AP and I will go see them on Monday.

I took Ashley and Penelope back home. P had her 2 months doctor visit. She had to get 4 shots. That’s not zesty. Ash said she did fine.

I came home to rest.

Then to the Dollar Tree to pick up some mechanical pencils. Everyone got a pencil. I gave the kids who competed first choice.

then back to the mission to work with the kids.

They helped me write love notes on the back of the letters of our supporters.

I brought doughnuts because they’d been so helpful.

Homework. More analog clock time. It’s so silly.

We had our 9 times table competition today. All three of the winners were girls again.


Fastest time was Darlene with 1:23 for completing 50 questions with a perfect score. Just in case you wondered, I completed 50 questions in :50. Kids are always blown away by it.

Home to watch Doc Martin with K. Always good.

Admin duties now.

Fabulous sunsets. It’s my favorite part of winter.

I had a great time this morning: recording!

LOVE this episode on handling problems. Check out the opposite of Santa Claus, “Sandy Claus.”

Marketed on Facebook.

Went to my treasurer’s house to drop off a letter.

Ate lunch with Kathy and Jesse. What a blessing they are.

Met up with Ashley and Penelope at FBC Doraville.

I picked up the three big toys for the multiplication competition.

I went with the girls to visit our friends at First Baptist Atlanta.

And also to Dunwoody Baptist Church.

We introduced them to their newest missionary: Penelope the magnificent!

I love this little baby so much. OMG.

We also talked to them about our “100 Missions” goal this year!

We want Whirlwind Missions to host outreach in 100 different apartment complexes around the Metroplex. I think it’s totally doable. Just a matter of figuring out the locations and partnering churches.

I also presented them with a series of car and dental bills which have set me back nearly $4,000 recently. Wow! Asked for any benevolence funds they might have to help.

I sent Ashley and Penelope on home and I went to the mission to help the kids with their homework.

Juan likes his bow and arrow.

I told him to look at the camera and look fierce.

We are working on the 9 times table this week.

Gassed up on the way home. Love these gas prices.

Home to watch Doc Martin with Kathy.

I love my crows.

I find this fascinating.

Early morning at the dentist. Beautiful day.

Got my temporary crown put back on and the mold made for my new crown.

He’s a really good dentist.

But it’s so expensive I certainly don’t want to see him all the time.

Went to Ashley’s house on the way home to pick up the tax letters she printed up.

Always great to spend time with my girls!

I got to see grand dog. I brought her to my house to run around in the yard.

Ashley came over. We went for lunch then came home to visit with Kathy.

Worked on the letters for our donors.

Jesse and I had a fun conversation with our pal in England, Anthony Jacquin! We usually record our conversation, but we had technical difficulties. Hate that.

Went to the mission to work with the kids. They helped me do the labels.

I love the sun flower theme.
