Ok. Cat's outta the bag! I'm growing square pans of grass. Although I am keeping my neighbors wondering just what I'm up to, I have to admit my mom's been helping me grow some smokin' (as in really great) grass. Rye to be exact. Sheesh, wish my whole yard looked like this. You may be asking the same question as everyone else I know....WHY??? Well, this weekend is our annual Show Hope Fellowship Weekend--Yay! ...so guess I'm growin' grass for the orphans. Can't think of a better reason, can you??

Double whammy...
A few days ago I snapped a few pictures. When I went back to review them...I HAD to share! Yes...THIS is Jordyn! She's growing into an incredible little girl. She's blowing kisses...to all of you... (well, maybe not..but just had throw that in--hah!) and in the second picture I had to show you up close her pony tail holders. Aren't they SO CUTE?? A special fan design was super thoughtful in sending these to the Chapmans for Stevey Joy and Shaoey. Such a sweet gift. These were custom made and this line was called "Maria" after our Maria (notice the one blue petal?) Anyway, when I took these to Mary Beth she wanted to give Baby Jordyn the wee little ones (one of the perks of being a part of this loving team and that the Chapman girls have a ton of hair). I was thrilled and saw it fit to share these little tokens with you all. And, if you scroll down...look at the shirt I had on Jordyn that day...I didn't realize I caught that in the picture until I took another look...love it!
We all appreciate your continued support, love and prayers...you are all dearly loved!

...helpin' the boss pull off a sweet surprise...RIGHT NOW!
Yes folks! ...that's right. Our very own Steven Curtis "surprise" Chapman loves to surprise Mary Beth from time to time. And, I have to admit he VERY good at it! :)
Today, as you know is officially their 25th Wedding Anniversary and Steven wanted to set a special meal at a special location with a special feature presentation. I was happy to see Steven went over the top with some great decorations. I stopped by to help set things up with Herbie.
So, let's see...right about now they may be watching a little television or just getting ready for a yummy meal. Dinner is being prepared off-site right now and will be brought in from one of our favorite restaurants within the next oh, 30 mins. or so. They'll be dining with a couple of close friends and it should be a fun, relaxing night. Oh, and did i mention the chocolate cake with chocolate covered strawberries? Yummy. A perfect night to be had!
Just wanted you to get a sneak peek from my view :)
25!! ...it's been 25 years PEOPLE!! ...WOW...let's give it up for Steven & Mary Beth!
OH YEAH!!!!!
Happy 25th Anniversary...Steven & Mary Beth! Can't believe it's been 25 years! I thought I'd take a moment (and hopefully not get fired) to share a shot from college years :) ...and, I must say you two don't look a day older!!!!!
It's a special day. You are loved by many. I am one of the honored who gets to do life with and amongst you guys and am thankful. I pray your day as well as the years that follow are as amazing and hold as much adventure as the first 25!
We LOVE you guys! Thank you for loving us all!!!!
Happy Birthday STEVEY!!!!
I KNOW, I KNOW...a day LATE (and a dollar short)...
Sorry but I had to share this at least. I'm sure that many of you remembered Stevey Joy's 7th Birthday was yesterday. Well, I did too...but, just didn't blog about it.
Much work to do lately. I've been lax about keeping you all in touch with the day-to-day. I apologize. But, hope to share a little more as I am able.
I know this is an older pic, but how bout this 7 year old!! Such a princess!! We LOVE you STEVEY!!

Florida Marlins Faith Nite...RAIN DELAY???
Compliments of "Super Dave" (as I like to call him)...I got these pics in late the other night. Unfortunately, I was unable to get these up until now. I had a few other "irons in the fire" shall we say...like a saying up on a little girls' wall?? (SteveyJoy's Wall) ...and, a migraine...Anyhow, here are some shots even though I heard that there was the ever dreaded...RAIN DELAY!!! THANKS for all who weathered the show...we LOVE you all! You are incredible fans!!

First day of school...blast from the past!! (shhhh, don't tell on me)
Yes, ladies and gentlemen...our very own, cute as a button...Steven Curtis Chapman. With the new school year starting I thought it appropriate to share this sweet picture. Looks like Steven picked flowers for his very first 1st Grade Teacher! He's just such a thoughtful, considerate lad. I mean, come on...look at that grin. I think now that I have my own little girl, pictures like this have so much more meaning. Something I just HAD to share today :)
(btw...you'll get a chuckle out of knowing that Steven himself pointed out the neatly folded up cuffs on his pants!! And, HE picked the flowers himself out of the garden for his teacher. I mean it just doesn't get any better!)
Treasure the FIRSTS...

Today was Will's LUCKY day!! Or OURS more like it!! (wink wink) Will got to spend a good part of the day with Sydney and me! First he got a little trimmed off the top :) ...aka...haircut by me (hee hee) then he went straight to a lesson in budget and banking from Sydney. Bottom line...WE LOVE YOU, WILL! Thanks for making our day!

New daycare for one little girl
The last couple of weeks have brought on a few changes. One great change is a new daycare (closer to mom :) for baby j! She comes to work with mom early in the morning, we have breakfast while mom checks email & gets ready for the day, then off to daycare for the day. I LOVE it...
