learning the Christmas music, fellowshipping, and praying together. We met Thursday night and Friday morning with Rick Stone of FBC Jonesboro. Then on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning we met with Derrick Johnson of Orlando. Derrick arranged the musical that we are doing this year. It is the same musical that Disney uses for the Candlelight Christmas show. We had a wonderful time listening to their stories and learning from them. As a fun break on Friday night, we went to the Vaudeville Cafe in downtown Chattanooga for a Murder Mystery Dinner Show. As each table walked in we got our picture taken with the statue of a knight. Then they took a picture of the statue coming to life and scaring us. That was not nice! We had Italian food and got to visit with the people at our table. It was entertaining, but I didn't guess correctly, so sad!Choir and Orchestra Retreat
We had a great weekend with the choir and orchestra

On Weldon Pond
Our Sunday School class had a fall get together at the Weldon's pond in Ringgold. It was a great time for families to get together and visit. I'm not sure exactly how many people ended up coming but there were 90 people (adults and children) signed up to be there. Several of us brought pots of chili, desserts, snacks, and drinks. Someone also had the right idea with the bonfire and marshmallows! The Weldons also got the horse out and let the kids take turns going for a ride. Here we have Abigail and Caleb relaxing at the end of the day.Field Trip!
Caleb's kindergarten class took a field trip to Little River Farms. There was so much to do there: pony rides, corn maze, petting zoo, crafts, playground ... it was a packed morning. Roy was able to chaperone so that was very special for both of them. Mrs. Queen's camera was broken so Roy was nominated to be the class photographer for the day. He came home with 106 photos on the camera, and I almost had a stroke when I saw how many he took. And he wants to pick on me for taking too many pictures! Caleb had a blast and Roy got to meet his friends. Both of my boys had fun, so that is a successful trip in my book!Hard at Work
Lydia came by my office to "help" me while Daddy had a meeting in Chattanooga. Luckily it was a pretty slow day so we w
ere able to spend time together. She had a great time going from office to office visiting with each of us. There are four offices with televisions in them so she was definitely enjoying that! One of the offices has a loveseat for her to recline while watching tv. One of the offices has a fish tank for her to look at. We also keep popsicles in the kitchen area and candy in the reception area so she was set on sweets for the day. It's almost like we were there just to entertain her! She came armed with snacks, toys, and coloring books and was ready to stay awhile. She keeps asking when she can come again. It was nice to have her there but it definitely wouldn't be good for productivity if she came everyday!

Caleb got his first trophy! He was so excited! His team, the Ringgold Tigers, met at 
Buddy Bear's Playhouse, an indoor playarea with lots of inflatables and some arcade games. The kids played together and had pizza. Then came the big moment, each child got to come up and receive his trophy while the coach talked about the good things they did or areas of improvement. Caleb was so proud. When they got home, he came running in the door to show me his trophy! We just had to snap a picture to commemorate the day!
On a side note, you may notice that Caleb isn't wearing his UGA jersey on Game Day. Well, he wanted to wear his FSU jersey, because PePa likes FSU and he will be so proud! I wanted to give him a hard time about it but I didn't have the heart. Instead he decided to wear his UGA jersey to school today! I think that was a fair trade-off.

Ringgold Tigers Flag Football
This is our first year with rec sports. We are the Ringgold Tigers, which is hard to get used to after spending many years teaching them the Bulldog cheers. Abigail and Lydia are cheerleaders for Caleb's flag football team. It has worked out pretty well since they all practice at the same time at the same fields and games are on Saturday mornings. The season ended this past weekend and it was bittersweet. They were 3-5 in their 8 games but we were all still proud that they worked so hard at it. Caleb is looking forward to playing tackle football next year. His goal is to play football for UGA. We are so proud!
