A simple prayer request

My aunt and little cousin need a simple prayer request.

Last night my grandma called and informed us that my two year old cousin, Savannah, was playing and fell into a chest. Apparentley her bottom teeth has gone through her bottom lip.

Thank you all, I'll keep you posted on little Savannah when we get further word.

A new camera

God is so good! And it is so neat to see Him bless people and work in mysterious ways. Early last month He blessed me tremendously!

Two years ago I received a camera as a Christmas gift from my grandparents. I absolutely LOVED it. It was my favorite color (pink), and it didn't have the view-finder (I love that too). Well for the past year every time the batteries would go dead and I'd put new batteries in. The next day I'd take the camera out to take pictures and the batteries would be dead! So I started praying that somehow the Lord would provide (someway) the money for a new camera, or a camera at a garage sale.
Last month my dad and Sydney went snorkeling in the river. As my dad was looking at the bottom of the river he saw something embedded in the riverbed. When he took it out of the mud he found... a WATERPROOF CAMERA :) I have always been wanting a waterproof camera for when we go to Sea World or the beach, etc. The only drawback to this camera is that it has a special battery, so you need a battery cable in order to charge the battery (sadly the cable wasn't with the camera).

I haven't bought the cable yet, but once I get the cable and go photo crazy, I'll post some pictures up.

2010 Summer Reading Program

Just thought I'd let you know what Sydney and I have been up to the past two months.

At our local library they have a reading program every summer. So Sydney and I have been reading, and reading, and reading :)

Here in Central Texas they have a water-park called the Schlitterbahn, so Sydney and I are both entering our name in that prize bucket (we chose Schlitterbahn because it is REALLY, REALLY expensive).
The winner of the Schlitterbahn prize gets 2 tickets, so Sydney is entering her name into the kids Schlitterbahn prize bucket and I'm entering my name into the teens Schlitterbahn prize bucket :) Being there's four of us in the family if Sydney wins the kids Schlitterbahn and I win the teen Schlitterbahn all of us can go!

And I've also found out that I'm "competing" with a friend of mine. He and I are almost tied. He has nine or ten and I have sixteen :)

The reading program ends in 6 days so I'll make sure to post if Sydney and I won or not.
