Please PRAY! --- (and Larry the Leprechaun!)

Well guys...it's Monday, and I usually participate in "NOT ME Monday" from this blog:

Here is the link for "Not Me" Monday (go check it out):

BUT- today I will not be doing the "not me's"- instead I will be on my knees praying for Stellan:

click HERE to read his story:

He is in the ER right now with heart problems and desperately needs our prayers. Get on your knees!

Onto a much lighter note: LARRY THE LEPRECHAUN came to visit our classroom while we were gone on spring break.... OH MY GOODNESS! He made a terrible mess, lost his shoe, and even left us a note and a picture of himself. Check out some of the pictures from this morning when the kids walked in the find the mess that LARRY THE LEPRECHAUN left for them over the break- it was WAY too funny!!!

VERY serious!clean up the leprechaun's mess and find that shoe!!!! Here is one of the letters that the kids left "Larry" to let him know where to find the lost shoe when he comes back tonight.

Translation:

"We found your shoe and do not leave a mess again OK. It is on top of the hampster's cage. Love, Capra"

Gotta Love em'----kids are way too much fun to work with AND get paid for it! LOVE my job!

Lazy Daze!!!! Spring is here!

We are enjoying our lazy week off from work. Cal and I took a walk around the neighborhood yesterday and then sat out on the swing for several hours just talking and enjoying the day

Ava enjoyed the sunny day too!

When we came in we made our little Easter tree to start celebrating the Easter season!
Happy Spring everybody!!!!!

Charleston...

Here is the slideshow of pics as promised... I hope you are all having a great week...we are relaxing in Bham after our GREAT vacation!! much love...

Charleston: The Holy City!

Cal and I are in Charleston until Tuesday. Cal had an interveiw at MUSC on Saturday and we extended our vacation until Tuesday. I am taking tons of pics that I will make a slideshow of when we get back and put up on the blog. I'll give a short run-down of what we have done so far...

On Friday night, we went to 82 Queen (click on pic to read about restaurant):Then had after dinner drinks at the Library roof top bar at the Vendue Inn:

On Saturday, Cal headed off to his interview at around 7 a.m. and I relaxed, beautified and went shopping at the Market and King Street:

The Market: King Street:
We took a long nap after Cal got back from his interview, then got all dressed up and went to dinner at S.N.O.B: (click on picture to see restaurant)After dinner at S.N.O.B- we went to check out a few local bars- we went by Tommy Condons and several other places that were completely packed due to St. Patty's day...so we went back to the rooftop bar from the night before and had a great time listening to the little acoustic band there.

This morning, Sunday, we went to have Sunday Brunch at Poogan's Porch:(click on picture to read about restaurant- it was amazing!)We had a carriage come to pick us up from brunch and took us on a historical tour around Charleston. This city is amazing with so much history! We are now back in the room resting up for cocktails at the Market Pavillion Rooftop and dinner at Peninsula Grille tonight!!! We are having a blast. Charleston is known as the "Holy City" on the water.... there is a distinct reverence for Christ in this city and you can feel it wherever you go. I will post more updates soon!
