Cupcakes for Breakfast...

Is it really awful to allow your kids to have cupcakes for breakfast? I hope not. I'm giving in this morning. At least SJ did eat some strawberries before the cupcake. What a beautiful Saturday! With nothing to do, I'm going to enjoy just sitting around loving on my girls. This week has been fast and furious. We entertained our staff from church last night and had a great time visiting and re-connecting after all the summer "road trips". CDP grilled some awesome Beef Tenderloin! Our family will be somewhat disconnected beginning next saturday as CDP and I will be sharing the gospel in Nicaragua while our girls spend some quality time with my parents. I'm always excited about the trips but the closer the departure date seems to get, the more apprehensive I become. I guess I just hate leaving my children for such a long time. They will be in great hands and I'm sure will NOT miss me one bit! Can anyone say spoiled rotten?
After Nicaragua, our family will then enjoy some MUCH NEEDED R&R in sunny PCB, FL. We anticipate a long week of absolutely nothing but sun, sand, water and lazy days. I'm really looking forward to some time with my family without schedules and interruptions.
Well, I'm about to go check to make sure my kitchen still stands. I'll blog again before we leave...Have a great Saturday, Ya'll!

A funny from SC this morning...

We were out late last night...I mean until 1am....UGH! Both girls were sacked out in their car seats and SC was, to say the least, not happy about having to sleep in the car. I figured this morning would be a "sleep in" morning but oh no...not my SC. She was up at 8am and ready to go. I fed her gave her a cup and headed to my room to make the bed and start my day. I noticed after a few minutes she had made her way into my room with "something" in her mouth. I was curious so I simply asked her, "What is in your mouth"? She replied, "candy". I then asked, "Who gave it to you?", she replied without hesitation, "Yei, Yei." I know that doesn't seem very humorous to you but you must know SC's Yei Yei. He is notorious for giving her candy. Not just suckers or hard candy but chocolate. SC loves chocolate! Anyway, here's to Yei Yei, the giver of all things "candy"! Have a great day!

At home for a while...

So, CDP is back from Peru and the girls and I have returned from our visit to the Grandparents. We had a great time at VBS at Hillsboro Baptist Church and visiting friends and family over the holiday. Now it's back to "normal" in our little corner of the world.
Nicaragua is fast approaching so I'll be busy this week working on children's church stuff for our trip. Otherwise, I plan to clean house, play some tennis, play outside in the pool with the girls and hopefully catch up on conversation with CDP. Ten days is a long time without significant conversation with your spouse.....
Many of our friends are vacationing this week and we hope they have a blast being together as a family. Ours is coming soon.....CAN'T WAIT!

Where in the world is the Pace Family?

Well, we're off! Meaning the Pace's are traveling tomorrow. CDP is headed on Mission to Chachapoyas, Peru and the girls and I will be in Lorena with my parents. We have a full 6 days ahead of us as we will try to see all our extended family and friends while we are away. CDP will be back home next Saturday and I'm already looking forward to it! I just updated my blog to accept Twitter updates so maybe between email, facebook, twitter, blog and cell phone I can stay connected! WHEW! What did we do without all this Technology!
The girls are great and growing every day. SJ is such a great helper! She has accepted the role of Big Sister with ease. SC is...well...testing me....I'll leave it at that!
As I mentioned before, I'm now on Twitter and if any of you would like to follow me, just look me up. I really like it...much better than Facebook. There are no gifts, tags, pokes or anything...just simple communication about where and what I'm doing. Check it out....
Time to get ready for church...Chat with you all later!
