In our church, members of the congregation are asked to prepare talks for Sunday. Most times we have 1-2 weeks notice and are given a suggested topic or scripture as a theme. Ken was the first in our family to fall under the "talk hatchet" and today presented a lovely sermon on serving in the church.
He said wrestling gators was more enjoyable than giving a talk!
Tami is the FIRST with Texas allergies!
Oh horrible sneezy nose - why must you go off each time the wind blows?
Oh silly snotty nose - why must you fill beyond capacity each time she tries to doze?
Oh tickly coughy cough - why must you be here? Please just take off!
Oh painful, pounding cranium - when she bends, why must you feel near explosion?
Oh <a - a - achoo>...- why must <cough, sniffle, sniffle, blow, boohoo> ?

McKenna's FIRST -

- sole person responsible for bathing our dirty dog. Jetta typically runs laps around the yard when the ducks are nearby and today, when she made her laps, she "purposefully" found every mud puddle and standing water area. Poor McKenna just bathed her yesterday - a typical Saturday chore - and here she's doing it again 24 hours later!
Logan's FIRST -

- scooter and that he hasn't broken any bones while using it!
- friends next door
- lake in the back yard
- pet turtle - found a small hatchling at a creek in a park. Emory the turtle is now living in our laundry room until her outdoor accommodations are complete. Look for a pic next post.
Sariah's FIRST -
- weekly playdates with a the most amazing girls I've ever met - shout out to Mallory, Samantha, Rachel, Sophia, Shelly and Catherine
- dog - Jetta is officially her dog since Sariah will be living in our house the longest (another benefit of being the youngest)
- friends across the street
The Maloney's Family FIRST -
Trampoline!!!!
Poor Ken has seen way, way too many trampoline injuries during his medical training that I thought our family would NEVER have one. However, a person is the neighborhood posted a used trampoline for sale advertising it as the world's safest trampoline. I looked into it and was impressed. I showed Ken the website and he was impressed! Finally, an opportunity to have an extremely safe trampoline and for a fraction of the cost! They love it!
The FIRST huge rainbow over the lake behind our house! COOL!!!
