Last night we had a family night at our church. They were doing a skit about Esther and asked the girls whose first name started with the letter A to come on stage. Ariana is the little one!!!

We got a babysitter from church and had a date night last night with one of our bible study groups, YCCG (Young Committed Couples Group). We went to the Ocean City boardwalk and ate pizza, went mini-golfing and acted like kids again at the beach! It was so much fun!

One of the Pastors from our church called me and asked if the girls could use a play kitchen. It was donated to the church, but we already have three of them so they gave it to us! It is a huge Little Tykes kitchen and it came with pots & pans, dishes, food and silverware! The first thing that Ariana said was, "Now that is a blessing!" It is so awesome to hear her praising God and understanding that it truly was a blessing!!!

We went down to D.C. for the weekend to spend time with Yusef. Thanks to him and prayers, we stayed the weekend in a 2bdr. apartment style room for cheaper than one night in another hotel! It was at the Bolling Air Force Base. It was so fun and we can't wait to do it again!
