Most of us were still in shock by the tornado that swept through here 1 month ago - schools were closed, the University shut down, all activities were canceled..most of the time I even felt guilty for doing normal everyday things like laundry. I felt like I "should" be out helping someone else. But life does go on and we are now back to our "new normal" around here. The city is still ravaged and many are still homeless, but rebuilding has begun and I'm so thankful we live in a city where those in charge are committed to making it a better place than it was before! <br />
<br />
We thankfully celebrated Henderson's birthday the Saturday before the tornado hit. His birthday was May 2nd and he turned 3 years old - how can that be!!!???? My baby, my last, the one who says "We Married" everytime we kiss - isn't that the cutest thing!!!??<br />

We enjoyed an Easter egg hunt with our church at a local park downtown - they had different areas for all the different ages of children, so they each filled their baskets!!! Inflatables made everyone happy :) Later that afternoon, we celebrated Henderson's 3rd birthday at our house with some families. His birthday was not until May 2nd, but I decided to go ahead and celebrate since everyone was in town for Easter!!! Boy am I glad we did, otherwise his birthday party would have been canceled along with everything else for the 2 weeks after that tragic day of April 27th! We are just beginning to get back to normal - school, programs rescheduled, softball games starting back, some normalcy in our not so normal town!!!!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">This hair - it just makes me laugh. Neither Will nor I have curly hair, so it is so fun to see and play with Henderson's!!!

As we huddled in the basement, we had no idea what torment was raining down just 2 miles away. The power was out, cable and Internet were down, cell phone coverage was sketchy at best. And then we began to get pieces of information. I sent my husband out to our house in The Downs that we bought about 8 months ago, to bring back to life and sell (it's what we like to do). I was able to see on Facebook that a tree had fallen on a friends house in The Downs, so I knew it had been hit somewhat. No words or pictures can describe the devastation. Oh I'm sure you have seen them and read them and poured over them like the rest of us, but seeing it firsthand, just brings tears to your eyes and makes you just say, "Why"? "How can this happen?" "What are we going to do now?"</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Well, I'll tell you what our great state is doing. People are coming together, working together, loving each other - not just loving families and friends and those that are easy to love - people are helping strangers and those with nothing and those with much who are now BROKEN. A gentleman in our church gave a testimony yesterday. Samaritan's Purse is headquartered at our church, First Baptist Tuscaloosa, and they send teams out everyday at 8:00 and 1:00 (1:00 on Sundays) to help people, in any and everyway they need it. This man has been volunteering with Samaritan's Purse this week, along with 3300 others of us!!!! He is a structural engineer and he was hoping to see some roofs and analyze and build some roofs and houses. Little did he know that God had greater plans for him. People have noticed what we're doing. Walking through neighborhoods, doing whatever needs to be done. This man sat and listened and prayed and talked and listened some more. His quote, "Brokeness brings Openess". He picked up some limbs here and there, but what many people need is an ear, a loving word, a hug. Yes there are many physical needs, and those are being met, believe me. But there are also many spiritual and emotional needs as well. As this man was leaving a house (or rubble) a power company man from Detroit, Michigan was sitting in his big bucket truck and he motioned for this man to come to him. He called him to come sit in his truck. He began to point to his bright orange shirt and ask him, "what are you doing? What's this all about?" He had seen all these bright orange (and now Crimson, Yay) shirts walking around with smiles on their faces, helping people in many ways, day in and day out. He told the man, I want what you've got. He had just gotten off the phone with his wife in Detroit and told her when he gets back he's putting their house on the market and they're moving down here. He wants what we have. POWERFUL. TESTIMONY. GOD'S LOVE. THE HANDS AND FEET OF CHRIST. God CAN work all things out for good for those who love Him. God CAN turn ashes to beauty. He's doing it - He's working in our city. We CAN Praise Him in the storm.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The following are pictures my husband took from our house in The Downs (we do not live in this house). They are the only personal shots we have so far of this storm, when we have gone out, we have not had camera in hand.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Right behind this house to the left is the Rosedale Housing that was completely devastated. From what I can tell, this was just east of where the tornado really began causing mass destruction, it was not completely on the ground at this point and we got the north edge of the mile wide span. <br />
About 1/2 mile east of here is where Henderson's school stood and the surrounding neighborhood that was leveled. It's so sad to see. We lost about 5 huge trees in the backyard, but they only clipped the house and took the back roof off and broke some windows. We were very fortunate, many houses in the neighborhood must be completely rebuilt. It is an historic neighborhood with trees like you've never seen. HUGE oak and magnolia trees, completely uprooted and blown over, the neighborhood WILL come back, but it will take many years for trees to grow to the height and beauty they once were.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIdCuUPAS6Ax_RtJCtRPZptSTMK8xkD_3rt_uLaBCppu-lwK0lZ22lk1fTM8f0oPV8e7joHaKfBrT8oYWNrGi3z9GA5zNd8wy3jkmRVM9zh6q71vSKlYDRMdZN2keHB6lRFZBBhqlVFf61/s1600/IMG_2955.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426px" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIdCuUPAS6Ax_RtJCtRPZptSTMK8xkD_3rt_uLaBCppu-lwK0lZ22lk1fTM8f0oPV8e7joHaKfBrT8oYWNrGi3z9GA5zNd8wy3jkmRVM9zh6q71vSKlYDRMdZN2keHB6lRFZBBhqlVFf61/s640/IMG_2955.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> This picture is looking out our front door.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipDv2xpYxkHKrwD3scu2S9smz0J9Uv2cJHfoO9PUt_WqP_Q2AOJWw1c18wCb2cegN3l2OTu_WJ1ul03ltnY2zno2n8NzKZrnSlIcHHkX236xqD1e0_-e58SkoIrZYvASIn3hl_hcySDm23/s1600/IMG_2956.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426px" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipDv2xpYxkHKrwD3scu2S9smz0J9Uv2cJHfoO9PUt_WqP_Q2AOJWw1c18wCb2cegN3l2OTu_WJ1ul03ltnY2zno2n8NzKZrnSlIcHHkX236xqD1e0_-e58SkoIrZYvASIn3hl_hcySDm23/s640/IMG_2956.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Backyard</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ1zuYehbT31k6YUrrPfNMCQtALYs3Y4lymlL2tcwiGFMkbEBqxamG4Ca5mT8LXYHMiy1sGP7mPMXiFMr5pmiCuexI5Hsf-W-xxm1hBj43iFhXJ3MnwlgsVvI0XjE5adgFIuPuWCblRA6o/s1600/IMG_2957.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426px" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ1zuYehbT31k6YUrrPfNMCQtALYs3Y4lymlL2tcwiGFMkbEBqxamG4Ca5mT8LXYHMiy1sGP7mPMXiFMr5pmiCuexI5Hsf-W-xxm1hBj43iFhXJ3MnwlgsVvI0XjE5adgFIuPuWCblRA6o/s640/IMG_2957.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div><br />

We are physically fine, our house we live in was not damaged. We were about 2 miles from the tornado, it was pretty scary nonetheless, but I cannot imagine what many went through. We did have a house that we were trying to sell in The Downs neighborhood that was hit pretty hard. We lost some of the roof and had some windows blown out and lost most all the trees. But all that can be repaired, we are alive and well. Tuscaloosa will not be the same "normal" for a very long time. Every activity imaginable, from University classes and graduation to softball games and parties and events has been canceled. We have even canceled our family Disney World trip that we were supposed to leave for a week from today. So many have lost everything, even loved ones. Henderson's preschool was destroyed, but they will meet at an alternate location on Monday and they'll carry on. Many will not. As I was running this morning, I was literally weeping over how unfair it all is. Not for me, but for all those who lost it all. I was listening to my ipod and the song <em>Jesus Saves </em>came on and the line, "Day is breaking, night is quaking, God is making all things new, Jesus Saves" really struck a chord. I pray all those seeking shelter literally, will also seek shelter in the wings of the Almighty God, the one Who was and is and will always be. May God soften their hearts to receive the Good News, maybe the only Good News they will hear for a while. May God break my heart and give me a willing servant heart to GO and DO. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Clothes and houses can be bought and repaired, but the images of children being swept out of parents arms and friends being pulled up into the sky will last forever in the minds of those who experienced it. Pray for these people. Our church delivered supplies yesterday afternoon and is making sandwiches this morning to deliver to workers and survivors. Prayer is needed, don't let this fade in a few days....prayer and donations and service will be needed for months and months.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The following images are all from the Tuscaloosa News. The areas hit in Tuscaloosa were not rural, wooded areas, they were VERY densely populated, with students and families and restaurants and businesses. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Kelley and her husband are in the process of adopting their second daughter from China. Kelley has decided to partner with <a href="http://coveredandsharing.blogspot.com/p/store.html">(Cover)ed</a> to help with their fundraising in bringing Caroline home. I thought that the towels were so cute (and go towards such a great cause) that I had to share with you!</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each towel is $25 and their family will receive over 50% of each towel sold to go toward their adoption!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you'd like to purchase a towel, you can email Kelley at kelley.b.brown@gmail.com. Please put (Cover)ed in the subject line. She prefers cash or check--- but if you would like to pay by paypal let her know and she can figure something out. There is no shipping for Birmingham residents and just $2 for one towel or $3 for 2 or more if you live out of town.<br />
<br />
<br />
To see all the different color and design options that are available for purchase, please click <a href="http://coveredandsharing.blogspot.com/p/store.html">here</a> (but please email Kelley to order so it can go towards her fundraising).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They would be perfect for a birthday gift, to take to the pool this summer, or to include in an Easter Basket:<br />

I didn't even have a babysitter lined up for the children while they were out of school! I knew my sister had been wanting to go to the beach with their new baby for a while, so I began looking on VRBO and I called her to see if they might want to go with us!!!

Thinking I was refering to her bottom!!!! So funny!!!!

It's a MUST read if you have a little girl - especially between the ages of 5-12!!!! Drop what you're doing and get it now!

I'm trying to be very patient with him and know that "this too shall pass", and shower him with love and giggles and affection. One positive thing that's happened with him is that he told me, for the first time without being prompted, that he loves me!!! Oh how that melted my heart, to hear it so innocently, "I wuv you".<br />

What a surprise!!! It's only the first 8 months, b/c that was the limit for the number of pictures, but it was such a treasure and to see the children's eyes light up when they realized it was all about them - priceless!!!! I hope to get the rest of it printed one day!!! It's given me new motivation to get back to blogging regularly - that and purchasing more storage on google for pictures!!!! If you don't hear from me for more than a week, start nagging - I've just gotten busy (or lazy)!!!!!<br />
<br />
Now we are back to wearing flip flops and enjoying playing outside everyday and not taking naps, because who has time for naps when it's 70 degrees and sunny outside????? Let's get out and play - it won't last forever!!!!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">wilson got to go on a date with his daddy to smackdown wrestling in birmingham earlier this month. let me just tell you how happy i am that it's wilson there and not me - i went with will once when we were dating - and it was quite the adventure!!!!! wilson ate.it.up - he wants to go back! most people are quite surprised to know my husband is really into wrestling, he just doesn't seem the "type", but i find he and wilson back in the sitting room watching it and "performing" it all the time!!!! wilson has become nearly obsessed with his daddy lately, which makes me a little sad, but it's in good time, he's 4 now and growing into a little man all his own!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

(obviously i can see the reasons behind this law, but in wilson's case, i wish it were not true). so we wait and try our hardest to get him to grow - whole milk, butter, peanut butter, instant breakfast shakes, anything he will eat to load up the calories!!! Henderson is getting it all too - he's small, just not quite as small as his 'big' brother!!! Wait and see, wait and see - it's hard!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">also, earlier this month we had the priviledge of celebrating the inauguration of our dear friend and sunday school teacher, Dr. Robert Bentley as Governor of Alabama. his granddaughter, Caroline, and Emma Claire are dear friends and Will and I are also friends with all of his sons and their wives. it was an amazing weekend and i am regretting my decision to not tote around my big camera to every event. sometimes i just want to enjoy the moment instead of being a photographer (of which i am most certainly not). so the only pictures i got were the ones taken at the pavlick's house while we were getting ready to go to the ball. but from the prayer breakfast to the ceremony to the ball it was evident the type of christian man Gov. Bentley is and will continue to be as leader of our great state. I am proud to call him my friend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I took her to the Emergency Room (in the snow), then to my brother-in-laws, Stan's, dental office where she recieved 2 stitches, 3 shots, laughing gas and lost her very first tooth!!!!! Stan had to pull her front tooth and the other one is still questionable. It was all VERY exciting!!! She was very brave and never cried in the chair!!! Her lip is still pretty bad and swollen and she's talking funny and slurping alot :) She's probably the last first grader in her school to loose a tooth so she was SUPER excited about that!!! The tooth fairy is now alive and well at our house!!!! All the pictures I have of her are on my phone and I have no idea how to get them on this blog!!!! You probably would not want to see them anyways, they are pretty gross!!!!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Henderson fell sick on Monday, croupy cough like he pretty much keeps 300 days out of the year along with fever. Normally fever around here goes away on it's own in 24 hours, but Wednesday afternoon he was still running high! I took him to the pediatrician and his fever there was 104.6!!!! Wow!!! He tested negative for flu. His ears, throat and lungs were fine. No diagnosis, but we came home on a Z-pack and he woke up fever free this morning!! Halleluiah!!!!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">The New Year is just around the corner and it's such a great time for New Beginnings! Emma Claire and I both have the Jesus Calling books that we are going to read together this new year! My hope is to be more intentional with my family and others this year. To not let moments slip by because I'm too busy or focused on other things, but to treasure life and the people around me, both those I'm close to and strangers alike. Lord, give me a passion for the lost and open my eyes to see needs around me and give me the strength and resources to meet those needs!!!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. </div><div align="center">Acts 20:24</div><div align="center"><br />

It actually doesn't have near the gray or green I thought it would, but that's okay. It's very glamorous and dramatic!!!!!

I have always been an early decorator. I just can't help it - once I start seeing all the stores and businesses decked out, it stirs something within me! I am excited about Thanksgiving week, excited to be off work a couple days and spend time with all my family and eat delicious foods! I have so much to be thankful for. Obviously God has blessed me with this beautiful house and health and a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful healthy children. But what if He didn't? Would I still be thankful? Would Jesus be enough? I hope I would. <em>In Christ Alone</em> is one of my favorite worship songs. I've actually just downloaded it onto my daughters itouch that she is getting for Christmas - ssshhhh - don't tell her:) I haven't been through many "droughts" in this life of mine, and for that I am thankful. They will come, God says they will, and I hope I will stand in Christ Alone no matter what. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Take a look at what brings me joy, what I've been working at. None of it really matters in the great big scheme of things, but it is my home and I try to make our home a place of peace, shelter from that great big scary world out there. But without it, we'd still be a family. And Christ would still be our Solid Rock. Back to that itouch. I'm new to the whole itunes world. I downloaded my first music ever today! I was pondering what songs Emma Claire would like on her itouch and as easy as it would have been to put popular Justin Bieber songs or Taylor Swift songs that I know Emma Claire will come to love, I decided that for now, the only music that's allowed on there are praise and worship songs. If she's going to be influenced by this world, which she will, I want her to be drowned in words of affirmation and praise for the King. Happy Thanksgiving to you all and whether you're celebrating in a home full of pumpkins or Christmas trees, be thankful for that home and the family and friends within!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Light of the world by darkness slain<br />

And as He stands in victory<br />
Sin?s curse has lost its grip on me<br />
For I am His and He is mine<br />
Bought with the precious blood of Christ<br />
<br />
No guilt in life, no fear in death<br />
This is the power of Christ in me<br />
From a life's first cry to final breath<br />
Jesus commands my destiny<br />
<br />
No power of hell, no scheme of man<br />
Could ever pluck me from His hand<br />
Til He returns or calls me home<br />
Here in the power of Christ I stand<br />
<br />
I will stand, I will stand<br />
All other ground is sinking sand<br />
All other ground, all other ground<br />
Is sinking sand, is sinking sand<br />
So I stand<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Last night we took the boys to the Alabama football game! The original plan was to take Emma Claire and Wilson and get a babysitter for Henderson. When I told Emma Claire our plans, she was a little less than excited about the ball game, stating, "all you do is SIT there" and so she opted to go to play practice and spend the night with her grandmother. Since we had 2 extra tickets, thanks to an old friend from Dothan, who now lives in Birmingham - THANKS <a href="http://leeamandaandblake.blogspot.com/">Amanda</a>!!!!, we took both boys - and they were ECSTATIC!!!!! We went to our tailgate and ate some yummy food and threw the football a little, then made our way to the stadium!

<div align="center">It was truly a wonderful experience and I'm so glad my boys got to go to at least one game this year! About midway into the 3rd quarter (9:00) I was ready to go, so I asked the boys if they were ready to go - NO!!!! They both wanted to stay with their daddy, but I knew Will was not up to keeping both by himself. I decided that it was time for Henderson to leave since we could tell he was getting in that "wild stage when they're so tired they just keep moving around and acting crazy so they won't fall asleep" - you know what I'm talking about. So I picked Henderson up and carried him up the steps, all the while he is screaming "I WANT MY DADDY!!!!!" all the way. I know the police officers at the top thought I must be kidnapping this child. I had to put him down a second to put the backpack on my back and he took off down the stairs screaming for his daddy!!! And it didn't get much better. He screamed for his daddy half way to the car! Fun times, but it was worth it - seeing the joy in their eyes and putting the love for the Tide in their hearts!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/61/AC9EAD64C79E039047528AB0D38C09EC.png" style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px;" /></a></div>Read more: http://www.mylivesignature.com/mls_wizard2_1.php?sid=54488-61-AC9EAD64C79E039047528AB0D38C09EC##ixzz0dulADQqZKelliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18323423712542162596noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922447744333153841.post-77635755851714852452010-11-18T09:03:00.000-06:002010-11-18T09:03:00.864-06:00Thankful<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We moved 3 months ago and I threw alot of stuff away, but other things I just put in the storage room, thinking "maybe I'll use that again!" Nope, I'm not going to use it, I haven't used some of it in 5 years! So, this Saturday, I'm having a yard sale! Lots of toys (Leapster and games, tot 4 wheelers, and many more), children's clothes, my clothes (small women's/juniors), purses, decorative items/planters. If you're local - please stop by - I'm also okay with early shoppers, so let me know! </p><p align="center">Along with gathering and pricing things for the yard sale, I finally finished painting the den/kitchen area!!!! We hung the last of the mirrors and oil paintings last night and I can't wait to show you pictures! We have really enjoyed our more open space!!!!</p><p align="center">We spent the majority of yesterday outside - it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!! A perfect Lord's Day that started with an amazing sermon by our college minister, Tim, on Proverbs 3:1-12 - it was geared towards parents, but also grandparents too! My focus this week (and the rest of my life, I hope) is on being more intentional with my children - making the most of every moment! Even the little moments in the car when I would normally put in a dvd and hope that they are all quiet!!!! I now hope to engage all my children and their friends in meaningful conversation!!!! Dinner times will be seen as share time and bed time is the most important time of the day! Because like Tim said, children will talk for hours at bed time if it means they don't have to go to sleep! Ha!!! They are growing up way too fast, and life feels like it's slipping by sometimes!!!!</p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/61/AC9EAD64C79E039047528AB0D38C09EC.png" /></a></p>Kelliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18323423712542162596noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922447744333153841.post-23986439517135041942010-11-01T08:47:00.004-05:002010-11-01T09:00:59.455-05:00Stuart Little, then Halloween!!!!<div align="center">The weekend before last, Emma Claire was in Tuscalooosa Children's Theatre's production of <em>Stuart Little! </em>It was a fabulous week of shows!

If you've never been to the gulf coast in October , it's a WONDERFUL time to go!!! The water is still fairly warm, the days are warm enough, average 85 degrees - you can actually walk on the sand that's back away from the water barefoot without scorching your feet!!!! The crowds are minimal and it's just a fun time!!!!

Wilson had his eye appointment yesterday, he has intermittent exotropia (one eye turns out at times and "shuts down"). The fix for this is surgery and as his parents, we have to decide when to have it. Our doctor said the time to do it is when the eye turns out more than it is straight. Whew, what a tough decision. It has definitely gotten worse over the last year, but I wouldn't say it's all the time. Has anyone out there had any experience with this? Also, we are looking into Human Growth Hormone for Wilson also, we have an endocrinology appointment scheduled, but it's not until May 2011, unless they can work us in earlier. He has been off the growths charts since he was about 2 months old, and is still very tiny. With a dad that's 6'4", we just worry about the emotional effects this may have being so small. Anyone have any experience with this?

I have missed blogging, but I have also enjoyed lots of fun times with my family - Wilson turned 4, we've been to various tailgating events and a beach vacation and homecoming at the University of Alabama. The thing that has consumed most of my free time lately is our house renovation. The exterior of our home was in GREAT need of some TLC and repair. We decided to brick the front, to match the addition that is on the rear. The front of the house gets blasted with the sun each afternoon until the sun sets completely and it has really taken a toll. We knew if we just repainted, we would have to do so about every 5 years.<br />We have also undergone a renovation on the interior - we took a major load-bearing wall down between the kitchen and den. I think it was a much greater task than any of our workers imagined. It is almost complete and once I get around to painting the kitchen/den myself, I will post those before and afters.<br />Last week we took a trip down to Panama City for a week with Will's side of the family and it was the most perfect week ever! The weather was phenomenal and the children had SO much fun in the gulf - they REALLY love each other and they REALLY love waves and sea creatures!!!!! Hopefully I will get those pictures up soon as well. For now, enjoy these before and afters. I am off to the Bama Theatre for the final dress rehearsal for Tuscaloosa Children's Theatre's performance of <em>Stuart Little</em>, which Emma Claire is in - she's a River Creature - how fitting!!!! The school shows start tomorrow morning and public shows are Friday - Sunday. It's sure to be a treat for the entire family - I hope you'll make it!!!!!</div><br /><br /><div align="center"><br />Okay, here are the pictures!!!!</div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center">BEFORE:</div><br /><br /><div align="center"><em>notice the wear on the front door and peeling paint and rotten wood</em></div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWRtN3bHdcz7JZ9JYbxw97IL8dwvVWTzPptihyphenhyphen9YN0SGL2Pqo00sGOlpwOkal5BflB2nWB96XTYx73yjwyuH0Ag-Choe0qWPHIWum2WKbBG0zmVr5YO0iJNhuOrUqSJuCHQBz5J8_i1ag/s1600/IMG_0356.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529866292346384066" style="DISPLAY: block;
