Samford Family Weekend

This past weekend, we went down to Birmingham to visit with Tyler during "SU Family Weekend." Here are a few pics from that...

Tyler glad to see Macy Li at the hotel...

Macy Li's first visit to a Frat House...ha!

Tyler's friends in his very "neat" ;) dorm-room...

"Spike," the Samford Bulldog, who Macy Li was obsessed with!

Here's our friend from CPA, Connor #9-Samford QB

Breakfast before going home...

We had a fun weekend there, meeting all his new friends and catching up on college life there at Samford.  He's loving it and we're so thankful.  Mid-terms this week! :(

Homecoming

Fall means Homecoming.  Last night was their dance, and here is Nolan with his friend Peyton D. and their dates, Kendall and Kate.  Darling bunch, if I do say so myself....and sweet kids too!  Instead of the usual dinner at a restaurant, they got carry-out from a great restaurant and had a candle-light picnic at a picturesque, scenic spot overlooking the Nashville skyline...I'll hopefully get some of the girl's pictures of that and come back and post later today.

Peyton D., Nolan, Kendall and Kate

My Nolan, what a handsome young man!

Nolan's friends are all so sweet to Macy Li

She's just part of the group!

Nolan and Macy Li actually favor each other here, don't you think?

Kate made this her facebook profile pic...haha!

Last minute instructions...;)

Time is flying and life is so full...I just wish I could slow down long enough to capture it all here.  Two of my friends, Suzanne and Renee, came home safely from Uganda today.  Thank you all who prayed for them over the past few weeks.  Josie Love will be coming home in the next 2-6 months.  Dana and Asher are awaiting more legal details to come together before they can come home.  Please pray that that will happen, as she's been there almost a month, with 3 kids here at home...hard.  They really need to wrap up their official appts. so that they can come on home.

As for us, we're just doing the "Football and Fried Rice" life!  Here are some snapshots of our life right now...
