Sunday Snapshots

Getting ready for church...Posing for a picture with Mommy
...and Daddy!See those keys in Carter's hands? Keys are his OBSESSION. There's mom's keys, and dad's keys, and Aunt Coco's keys, and house keys, car keys, you name it. He can even tell you which key is his Grand Mary's or Papa's just by looking at them on the computer screen when we Skype with my parents. Aunt JuJu gave Carter his own set of keys for his birthday, and he takes them everywhere.

See this young stud? This is my cousin's son, Alex, and he's 10 years old. Today was a special day at their church...the entire service was led by children. Greeters, ushers, Scripture readers, choir, and every role of the service was done by the kids. And Alex was chosen to deliver the sermon! He worked hard on his message and did an incredible job! I can't imagine standing up and speaking in front of a huge congregation of adults at the age of 10, but Alex was confident and natural. It's amazing to see how God gifts kids in all different areas and begins training them up early on. The theme of the service was The Potter's Hands, and how God molds each of us to be exactly how He desires and plans. I'm sure praying that God is molding me into something beautiful and glorifying of Him through this journey called motherhood.

After the service, we all went to The Club for brunch. It was a beautiful day, and we loved playing outside first and enjoying the gorgeous view of Birmingham (which isn't captured in any of these photos.) Here is my 92-year-old grandmother, MaMa, along with Carter, Alex, and his siblings. From L to R, Carter, Graham, Tate, Alex, Cece, and Mama. I love how Graham has his arm around Carter. He loves to help and is such a sweet big brother to Cece!Pals Carter and Graham

This cracked me up! This is Graham with his hand directing Carter's face back to the cameras! :)

Checking out the telescope

Here's praying that we all let God mold us this week, regardless of our circumstances! How reassuring to be in the Master's hands!
