Recent Happenings at the Reynolds Home (Part 2)

Anmer has had so much fun learning to dance and these precious sisters helped her make her very own ball gown/skirt.  She and Andrew love to go to these "Civil War Balls."  (Note from Anne Marie: This particular dance was two hours away in Troy, TN. We didn't get home until midnight, and some of us didn't get to sleep until 1am. Mom is a trooper, and I am so thankful for her allowing us to have these cool experiences, especially when they cost her so much sleep!)

 Above -- Andrew and Heath get their camouflage on -- Heath goes with Hayden that just graduated with Anne Marie, and the youngest boy, Hunter, is great friends with Thomas.

 Andrew is attempting a "Minute to Win It" game with the Teen Trek group (our homeschool support group teens).  He has his permit and is driving some, he does well, and so far my nerves are holding steady!

 Below:  Anne Marie has been volunteering a lot with Habitat for Hope, an organization that provides support to families with terminally/chronically ill children.  They work with families at both St. Jude and LeBohneur.  Here, we are visiting with a sweet boy at a "Water Fun Day."  Only, this little guy couldn't get wet because he has a central line.  His backpack houses the bag that drips into his line.  I took him on a ride on the 4-wheeler, and we did bubbles, and he crawled onto my lap.
Anmer organized this event; it was a wonderful afternoon.  Andrew and a few other teens from our homeschool group helped.

 We went to a book signing for the "Women of Duck Dynasty" book that was recently released.  This event was at Wal-Mart.  The event staff were organized and strict; you couldn't take a picture while standing at the signing table. I had to stand back several feet to take this pic.  Also, we were herded through the line very quickly, but Anmer and I got a chance to say we love the show, and thank them for being Christian role models.

 Corbin and I went to a work party at an Irish pub in Memphis.  It was fun (and loud).
I did start a garden, but....it isn't doing very well, so here are the plants that are actually producing.  I may only be able to enjoy baby tomatoes (red & yellow) this summer, but I'll take it!
