4th of July 2010

I took a quick weekend trip to Chicago for the 4th.  This summer I kept my same apartment for the first time in 8 years!  I'm believing God that my season of such transient living is over and that I will be at home in my new home on the South Side of Chicago for a long time!  I had some concerns with leaving my apartment for the summer but all is well!

I got to see a handful of my kids and go to my Chicago church while I was there for the weekend.  This is Tavaris at the park.  He doesn't get to come to camp this summer because of summer school - pray that he hates it so he'll work hard this next school year.

My friend Jessica came along and we went to visit on of her previous campers, Ella.  We only got to see her for a quick minute, but we found out that Ella just graduated from high school and plans to go to college in the fall!

I went to the JAYs for the family bbq.  This is Jireh, Demans, and Jabri.  Poor Jireh doesn't really understand "I'll be back from camp in August."  Her mom told me the other day that they were all sitting around and Jireh said "What did you guys do to Miss Megan that she doesn't come to the house everyday anymore?!"  lol

So, speaking of the family BBQ ... I'm not very good at eating meat with bones in it.  The thing is, I REALLY cannot put a bone in my mouth.  And you can't really eat ribs with a knife and fork.  I have some friends who won't even allow me to eat ribs and their house because I make such a pitiful attempt at it.  My people are always tryna talk about me for this (you know who you are).....  This made me laugh because apparently lamb ribs are tough to get apart - hence the hammer hitting the knife!!  Funny to me.

Me an Lil Courtney, who doesn't let just everybody pick her up :[)
