Busy Day and some Worship

We woke up bright and early to head to Clarksburg to have lunch with Papa and Barb, and pick up some memorabilia from the Mountaineer Military Museum for Nic's Social Studies project on the Attack of Pearl Harbor.

Brooke drove us to Clarksburg. It was her first time driving on the interstate. And her first time driving in a couple of weeks due to all this snow. She did really well on the interstate...I only had to grab the door handle and use my imaginary brake a couple of times. She has trouble staying in the center of the lane and tends to drift over across the line on the right. She is getting better though!

Tyler stayed home and helped Brent and Christina lay their hardwood floor. Tyler is a worker and loves to help people. Such a sweet boy!

We stopped to visit Grammy Betty for a a little while before heading back to Parkersburg. When it came time to leave we got STUCK in her snow covered driveway. It tooks us quite a long time, and a neighbors help to get out of there.

We arrived home much later than planned. Then Nic and I spent the evening working on his Social Studies project display board. He has to do his class presentation tomorrow. Then Social Studies Fair is Thursday. He had so much fun doing his project...just kept saying, this is so much fun! I have to admit that I enjoyed helping him with it. I have never really studied much about Pearl Harbor...I learned a bunch. He is so excited that Papa loaned him a real World War II Navy uniform to wear during his presentation! Having a Papa that owns a military museum really pays off when you are doing a war related social studies project! Pictures to come when we get the display all set up at the fair Thursday!

Yesterday was an amazing day at church. It is so awesome to see all of the things that we have been praying for all these years coming to fruition! We have an amazing Pastor who is truly God inspired. We started a Prayer journey on Sunday night and will be having a focus on prayer the rest of the year....super excited about that. There is no better way to draw closer to the Lord than by praying. Our Praise band is just getting better and better, and we are having SO MUCH FUN leading praise and worship!! Here is a video I made for worship...
