Rob, Madeline and Maggie were having so much fun at the dinner table last night. A while back, Maggie started something where she would give her kisses to us names. For example, if she had just brushed her teeth, she would say it was a "toothpaste kiss," if she had just had a glass of milk, she would say it was a "milk kiss," etc. So, last night, in order to encourage our girls to try a new recipe that I had made, we were eating bites of food, giving kisses, and saying "ooohh chicken kiss," etc. Wow! You can definitely tell we're parents of a pre-schooler...hee hee!
Our beautiful girl!!!!!!
We must give special props to the NBBC student body officers...Edward Estes, David Broughton, and Mr. Tuttle. They did an incredible job...Rob and I have seen many skits, student bodies, etc. in our four years at Bob Jones, 5 years at Northland, and 7 summers at camp, but this beats anything we've seen. Rob was in this skit about homeschoolers...hilarious, stereotyping skit. Then, they did a video of Gufus, the sock puppet, coming through registration. Just had to mention that because Maggie is so enamoured with Gufus now...she wakes up talking about Gufus, asks questions about Gufus all day long, and has dreams about Gufus. Very funny! But, the highlight of the evening was the 20 minute video (it is very hard to make a 20 minute video that both looks professional and that is funny - at least that is what Rob tells me) about these "Three Men" who were trying to get back to Northland, but they didn't have the money for plane tickets...so they travel through the sewage lines. I know I am not going to do this justice, but it was so funny. They were popping out of manholes all over the country. They popped out of a manhole right in front of the Washington Monument, then they popped out of one in downtown Chicago right in front of the Sears Tower, and one time, right in front of the Maranatha sign, where they ran over to it and hung a sign over it that said, "I prefer Northland." But, probably the funniest, was when they were underground, and they said, "Do you hear water?"...then one of them decided to find out where they were, and he came up out of the Bob Jones University fountain...if you're from BJ, you know how sacred the fountain is...no touchy!! A hilarious, hilarious video...good job guys!!!!

This is my friend, and a buddy to Maggie & Madeline, Melanie Aynes. Melanie was in my Power Group this summer at camp, and was a counselor for us as well. This is probably Melanie's last semester up here....we'll miss you Melanie!
