VBS St Croix 2009
Michael on top of Eagle Mtn.
In June 2009 (6/20-6/27), Michael traveled to St Croix with 3 others to put on a VBS for the small church there in St Croix. It was an encouraing trip for all of us, as we enjoyed getting to know the brethren, teaching bible stories to the kids and getting to see the beautiful island. Michael went with his nephew, Kendall and David and Adrienne Maxson. Lord willing, we will be able to return next year for the 2nd annual VBS. View pictures of the trip below.

Alicia's Birthday 2009
Alicia was treated to a surprise birthday get together with friends. After shopping with her husband and son, she came home to a group of friends that surprised her upon entering the house.

Valentine's Day 2009
This year, we celebrated Valentine's Day a week late with the McCollins, Gilbert's and the Stringers. Sojourn was watched by the kids and we all went to Ruby Tuesday for a nice dinner together. The plan was to go to Olive Garden but we decided to change plans after we found out there was an hour and a half wait. After dinner, we exchanged gifts. Click here to view pictures.

Christmas 2008
2008 was Sojourn's first real Christmas. Last year's Chrsitmas, he was only 3 weeks old. So, he didn't really know what was going on. We're pretty sure that he didn't fully understand what was going on this year either. Nonetheless, we all had a great time. This year, we were joined by Sojourn's grandmother. After opening presents, we relaxed and then had Christmas dinner with our good friends, Dessie and Ken. All in all, we had a great Christmas in 2008! View pictures here.

Christmas 2006 in Hunstville
We spent our 2006 Christmas in Huntsville with mom and the Goodson's. We had a great time and even had the chance to bring Aubie on the trip. We had an interesting trip with Aubie in the car, as she doesn't do too well and gets motion sickness (hopefully something she will grow out of). Christmas was somewhat bittersweet as it was the first Christmas spent wittout our dad. We certainly missed him, but we did not let that damper our spirits as we still had a great time.

Our new puppy: AUBIE!!!
In early September of 2006, we have added a new addition to our family. We have a new puppy and we have named her Aubie (War Eagle!). She is 3 months old and she is a mix between an Australian Terrier and a German shepherd. At least that is what we were told. She is a bundle of energy and very hyper, but we have fallen in love with her already. Click here to view pictures of Aubie.

Our trip to Charleston
On Labor Day weekend 2006, we took a trip to Charleston, SC. It was the first time either one of us had been there and we enjoyed our stay. There was a lot about Charleston that we liked. It reminded us a lot of Savannah, GA, somewhere that we are very familiar with. We look forward to returning there to visit again sometime in the future. Click here to view pictures of our trip.
