Lakin and Brilliant Blue







Lakin got to bring home Brilliant Blue this weekend! Brilliant Blue goes home with the Pre-K kiddo that is well behaved during the week. Blue stays with that child for the weekend, during which time they document their time together. Lakin played guitar hero and danced with Blue. Blue got to help her sign Valentines and decorate her Valentine box. He also helped build the new door for the master bathroom. Blue got to meet Meme and Papaw on Saturday since they came up to help with the door project. On Sunday, Blue got to go to church with Lakin and then he got to meet Nana and Papa who stopped by before shopping to bring the kids a Valentine's surprise. What a weekend!

Jayce places second in the Spelling Bee!


Congratulations, Jayce! Jayce placed second in the third and fourth grade spelling bee. I thought the word "accumulate" would get him, but he spelled that like it was "cat." The word "irrigate" is the one that tripped him up. I was so proud of his attitude! He really wanted to win but showed fantastic sportsmanship.

Donuts for Dads

Bobby enjoyed a special treat with the kids the past two days. Yesterday he attended Donuts for Dads with Lakin. She made him a special necktie that she colored. He was very impressed with his new neckwear! She also filled out a special questionnaire about her Daddy. She said he was 40 years old (ouch!) and that her favorite thing to do was go places with Daddy. Today Bobby attended Donuts for Dads with Maggie and Jayce. Jayce made him a booklet with awesome drawings. It told that Bobby's favorite color is orange, his favorite sport is golf, and that he is very funny. Maggie wrote a poem about her Daddy that says she loves him "from the highest point to the lowest point." He said it about made him cry. Sounds like a great couple of days for the kids and their Daddy!
