Friendships Renewed

My family was extremely blessed to be at the Titanic 100 last weekend. While there, I was overjoyed to see many familiar faces and a few very dear friends. I made it one of my goals that weekend to take pictures with as many of them as I could. All of them are absolutely wonderful women with hearts for the Lord. I have known all of them for many years, with the exception of Stephanie, whom I met that weekend, yet I feel as though I have known her for ages. ;)

It was great to see all of them again. Each and every one of them are the kind of friends that you can not see for months (not that you don't want to see them, just that it works out that way) and when you do see them, you are able to pick up where you left off. God has richly blessed me with so many wonderful friends and I have learned much by each and every one of their examples to me; I hope that I am as good a friend to others as they are to me.

Note: I saw more very dear friends at the event, but for one reason or another, was unable to get a picture with them. :(

Titanic 100 Children's Play

I am typing this from my Mom's iPhone, so please excuse any and all parts of the interesting layout. Also, please forgive all typos.

This past weekend, at the Titanic 100, my siblings and I were privileged to be in a Children's Play in honor of the event. Shea played the role of Miss Eva Hart, Claire was a little Imigrant Girl, Stephen had his hands full with two roles complete with a change in between- that of Archibald Gracie and Dr. Leighton Parks, Sam did a stupendous job as little Douglas Speddin and I was his nurse, Muddie Boons.

At the end of the play, everybody sang "Nearer my God to thee". In the above picture, while we were applauding our director, Miss Stephanie Cone, Sam and Virginia Phillips were busy talking to each other ;)






















When it was Sam's turn to go onto stage, he and I would walk into the stage in the dark, and then a spotlight would turn on for Sam to say his one line- "Oh Muddie, look at the beautiful North Pole!". In the dark, I was supposed to fix the microphone to be at Sam's level, as he was considerably shorter than the person before him at this particular mic. Well, in between the last rehearsal and the actual play, the mic was switched and I could not figure out how to lower it, so poor Sam had to tippy-toe to say his line. Silly me did not think to pick him up and put him on my hip. When the light came on, Sam looked at me and whispered, "Do I say my line now? You mean, right now? Into this mic?" He was SO cute.

A few of us were a part of an ensemble, singing "Eternal Father, Strong to Save".

Adorableness

This week, Pip, B, Mom and I are up at my Grandma's house. After we arrived yesterday, the Littles had a bunch of energy, so I took them outside to run around a bit. I grabbed Mom's phone in hopes of taking some good photos, but my subjects were just a tad unwilling to sit there for me, so this is what I was able to get.

The lighting is not the best here and I am not very adept in the art of editing photos... yet.
