Life's a Dance

This past weekend Madyson performed (or stood on stage and did a few twirls) in her 2nd dance recital. She had a lot of fun! However, being the bad scatter brained mother that I am lately I forgot my camera at work-so I have been stealing off of facebook..

Life has been a little WHEW lately-Do you feel like that?

The Tornado ripped through our town April 15th-we are still getting back on track. Then the devastation of the "southern" tornado that tore up Alabama happened on the 27th....We got to take a small break for some happy time with the Royal Wedding the 29th...Madyson and I got up and watched it. Did you? What was your favorite part??

Then Sunday, May 1-we were interrupted to bring the news of the death of bin laden. Now-I lived through 9-11. I remember that day very vividly and as excited as I am that the "mastermind" is no more...I still get nervous about....the other hundreds? thousands? of his followers that are still out and about. This past few weeks have just brought alot of extra anxiety to the world.

Along with a lot going on in the world-a lot is going on in the Broadus house. We are right now playing ring-around-the-rooms. Now, I know yall said garage first. But our garage is FILLED with furniture for the bedrooms-so I can't really clean it out-until....I have a place to put it. So right now-the girls new room has been painted-purple. I let them have full control over it. They wanted rainbow and we compromised-one color on the wall-rainbow accessories. So they have purple walls-aqua comforters, pink rug, yellow tables, green curtains...it actually is cute. Not what I would have picked-but I don't have to live in there. As long as it stays clean....I am good.

Madyson's eye surgery is tomorrow-and that is something we are ready to have behind us. Her friends have been so sweet drawing her pictures, bringing her little gifts =) It is making it a lot easier. I wanted to share with yall though something I was just in awe of.

In January of 2010, we started our Life Group-which is like Sunday School-that meets every Monday night. The good thing about Life Group is that our kids come. Our group believes that it is important for families to worship the Lord together everyday-not just Sunday. Well-I knew Madyson loved the other adults in the group but never did I know just how comfortable she was with them. This past Monday she came up to me and asked if it would be okay if she asked "Mrs. Jennifer" to pray with her. Jennifer is my sweet sweet friend-who just happens to be married to my boss =) I said of course it is okay! and so Madyson went over to Jennifer and asked her to pray for her and her surgery. I was moved that she was comfortable enough to just walk up to another adult and ask for prayer. That is something I have wanted for my girls! Jennifer, brought Hunter- her almost 5 year old over, and explained about Madyson surgery then the 3 of them (+ Aubrie Kate) prayed for Madyson. When we got home she said, "everything is fine-Ms. Jennifer asked God to take care of me".

So that's where we are right now-Dancing. twirling around bedroom furniture, booty bumping fears of surgery, and shuffle-ball changing through the worldly events.
