Geaux Bulldogs!

So it's my turn to do the blog, and tell you about our weekend. For me, it was a lot of football. PA for the Samford vs. Jacksonville State football game. The title of this entry is a reference to Acadian influence at Samford, of course.

Well, we lost. We were expected to lose, and we came through...but played well. And most importantly, the announcer got most of the names right.

Meanwhile, Matthew and Cherith were in Alabaster to continue working on the childrens' production of "The King and I". (I told her it should be "working on the king and me," but she disagrees.) Once again, Matthew helped in decorating the set. Practically since he was born, Matthew has been able to memorize any song he hears. So at any time during the day, he is likely to start up with "Getting to Know You," or my favorite from The King and Me, "We Are Siamese if You Please." And speaking of show tunes, just a couple of hours ago, Matthew was very excited to hear "Shipoopi" on "The Family Guy," and he joined in.

We also had a nice visit this weekend from Jo"Aunt JoJo"Anna, in town for the conference of the LVTA, or LAVT, or some combination of those letters that make up a veterinary organization. After going to church this morning, Cherith and Jo went to the Christmas Village show at the BJCC. They spent a lot of money, which I guess will turn out good for you in about 7 weeks or so.

Right now, as we're in bed and about to sleep fast before an early start to Monday, we're watching "American Beauty." What a great movie! And a good reminder of just how lucky we are for all the "stuff" we have, and more importantly, each other.

Love y'all...
