All of us went to the Newport Aquarium today. It was awesome and Adam thought it was very cool. He buzzed from one thing to the next. I'm not sure what his favorite was, but I know he did like the sharks and all the fish. We saw everything from alligators to penguins. We stopped at Applebee's on the way home for lunch. Adam took a nap on the way home. He didn't stay asleep when we got home. He was too excited to play with his new toys and he also wanted to ride the four wheeler. KK bought these marshmallow shooting guns at the Wool Festival. They are loads of fun. I'll post pictures when I get a chance. Supper is in the works and I guess we'll all watch Survivor tonight. I'll be anxious to watch CSI but it's not for little eyes so we'll have to watch it at home on DVR.

The weather here is bee-yoo-tee-ful! Good job, God!

We are in Cynthiana for the rest of the week. We ate a delicious lunch with Mom and Dad and then came to Berry. We wanted Adam to fall asleep on the way here, but he talked nonstop the whole way. He ended up taking a late nap and was not in a very happy mood when it was time to go to Unity. We ate potato soup there and then had Bible study. Nana watched Adam in the toddler room. We are back home and just hanging out. Life is good.

Welcome Kaelyn Charlton, Ken and Erica's baby, and Kaleb's sister.

We are back from our trip to White Mills. It was a very great couple of days. The kids were challenged, we had lots of fun, and it was fun to visit with Emily and Aaron. Bucky and I both are getting ready for naps. We were up LATE both nights.

Adam is enjoying Cynthiana. He is into all kinds of things with Gran and Granddad-the park, the backyard, reading, etc. Bucky is counting down until we see him.

Need to go rest.

Can you say Fall Break?

It's Fall Break! We've got a busy week planned, and all the excitment started today. Adam and I went to Lex. to meet up with Mom and Dad. He is staying with them until Wednesday. Bucky and I are taking twelve of the JCC youth to White Mills Christian Camp for a leadership retreat. Aaron and Emily Pelsue are coming to lead worship. Sweet sugar! Aaron can sing like nobody's business! We come back to RC on Tuesday to do laundry and pack since we are leaving Wed. for the booming metropolis of Cynthiana. Bucky is doing a revival at Unity. I am very excited about this for him. "One Purpose" from JCC is coming on Sat. to lead worship and Doug and I are doing a (funny) drama I wrote a couple years ago. We will stay in Berry from Wed. to Sun. I know that at the end of this week we will be dead, but it will be good to be with family.

Also, I think Sarah Smith (forget her married name) is doing a Gossett family photo session on Saturday morning. We've done this with the Walters, but this will be our maiden voyage. I'll let you know how this goes!

In addition, here's something for your brain. Buck and I had a ball the other night trying to think of all the songs we knew with the word RUN in them, or any variation of the word. I am ashamed to say that I lost (horror of horrors!) to Bucky in this venture, but it was good for the brain and the laughter. Just to get you started: Ready to Run by Dixie Chicks, and Run It by Chris Brown. Let me know what you come up with.

Ah, another week. It's been a pretty good one. I had field trips at school on Thursday and Friday. This week coming up is the last one before Fall Break. This time of year always goes so fast. We all three went to Homecoming last night. It wasn't as cool as we expected it to be. Afterwards, we went to McD's for a snack and Adam's friend Eli was there and they got to play. It is so funny to watch them.

Bucky is playing golf in Columbia today in a scramble. There's a 24 hour prayer effort at JCC. Bucky went today at 5 am and I went at 6 am. We are going as a family tonight at 5:45. Bucky says we need to go to the grocery and stock up. I'm hoping to maybe eat Mexican before. Yum! I did good on the weight loss thing for two weeks, and now I'm not doing so well.

Better go do some things before Adam gets up. I will definitely nap when he does today.

Adam is home! I picked him up today and he was asleep and he slept the whole way home. He and Kim went to church today. Kim said Adam went fine into his class. They learned about Adam and Eve. After that they went to see an IMAX dinosaur movie. She said he liked it, but used her hand to cover his eyes two times.

Anyway, we are home and I am zapped. No nap on a Sunday afternoon. :( Bucky has Quench practice so it will be late.

We had a lovely retreat at Gail's house yesterday. We talked and visited and planned for the worship team for the rest of this year and also 2009. Bucky played golf in the outing at Lakewood. We met up about 5:30 and had a nice meal. After that, we had to go by the Coe's to get a fence that Buddy made to be used in today's drama. We went and got it and then stayed until 10:30 visiting. Buddy, Nick, and Megan had been to the Ryder Cup and had lots to tell. I think I could live at their house. I always have so much fun!

I've heard a little from Kim. She and Adam went to the zoo yesterday. The elephants were his favorite. They are going to see an Imax movie today. I will meet them in Etown around 3 I think. She said she'd call.

On another note, we watched a movie! I didn't get home until later from Etown on Friday, but we watched ALL of the movie 21. I don't think it was over until almost midnight. I could feel myself turning into a pumpkin!
