Weekend Update: Tennis, Surprise Party & More!`

Well, it's been a few days since I updated...been busy can't you tell?!? And now I can't sleep, so I am catching up at 4 AM!!!

Tommy was at tennis camp last week. His favorite thing he learned was a little poem to help with his serve: down together, up together, hit, follow through to your shoelace.

Here are some pictures to demonstrate:

He thoroughly enjoyed tennis camp & is really getting good at it! This week he has basketball camp at Athens 1st UMC...that's his first love though!

Another highlight of my week last week was a special graduation lunch/baby shower on Wednesday with the PALS class I have been teaching since January. There were 5 graduates & 4 of them got to come to lunch at RED LOBSTER! We gave them each a certificate showing their completing the computer basics & life skills that I taught them! It has been SUCH A BLESSING to teach these ladies, whom I now consider my friends! God has done SO MUCH in each of them & it has been AWESOME to see!! It is hard to leave & turn them over to another teacher, but they are in good hands! Here is the group shot from our lunch:

Front row: Students Diane, Felicia & Elaine

Back row: Evan Brown (volunteer), Doris Aldrich (WTTW pres), Mary (student), Sue (volunteer), ME and Fran Brown (volunteer).



We had a great lunch & special time. For dessert, the student who couldn't be there had a cake made by her niece...so cute & it was DELICIOUS!!! Here is a picture of me (duh), but it doesn't do justice for the size of my tummy! :)

Friday I spent all day at the Scrapbook Expo in Gwinnett County & had a BLAST! I got there at 10:00 AM & left at 11:30 PM!! So, needless to say, I was WIPED! I got some funny looks and countless comments about baby like "When is that baby due?!?!?". I heard several women's life stories as they asked about the baby...always fun....NOT!

No pictures, sorry....

Saturday was a very RESTFUL day...I did NOTHING! We went Saturday nite to have dinner with Richard's parents to celebrate their 40th Anniversary! Now that is quite an accomplishment! They thought it was just us taking them to dinner, but, little did they know, we'd planned a surprise party! Martha Sue's two sisters & husbands drove up from S. GA/FL. John's brother & his wife was there. Plus Martha Sue's girlfriends (GNOMES, as they call themselves...Girls Night Out Men Excluded) and their husbands were there. They were absolutely flabbergasted! I am so glad that we got to surprise them!!! and make this weekend special as they celebrated 40 years together! WOW!

Well, that's it for now....

More later...

THANKS FOR CHECKING IN!
