The Girls' Christmas Tree

Bennet and I set up a small Christmas tree while Beth was napping.  This was Beth's priceless reaction when we showed it to her...

Are You Kidding Me?

So I finally cleared up enough space on my computer to fit all of my pictures from October.  There are lots more posts to come, but I could not resist putting this picture up!  I took this of my Dad and Beth at the State Fair a couple of weeks ago.  It melts my heart.

Good looking jump shot

... that she did not inherit from me. Perhaps that form comes from the 'captain of the state champion basketball team' side of the family.

30/30/30

I just wanted to share something amazing that has happened this week.  I will start with a little background on the story, but will let the video do the rest of the talking.
Russ Polsgrove is a dear friend of mine from Camp Ozark.  We were counselors together well over a decade ago and have managed to keep in touch over the years... even from afar.  Bryant and I have also gotten to know his amazing wife, Anna, since she rocked Russ's world back in 2002.  In June, Anna turned 30.  Instead of a traditional birthday celebration, Anna decided to pay it forward with her 30/30/30 plan.

 

In just 27 days, Anna's efforts resulted in 30,000 for Bring Love In.  After reading her blog last night and seeing the good news, I was honestly floored by this accomplishment.  Anna is an amazing example of using God's love to help others, and this fundraiser has been a bold reminder of the true power of God.

Iolanthe

We are less than a month away from the opening night of Iolanthe at Houston's Wortham Center.

For those in the Houston area (or those with family in the Houston area), it is sure to be a great show with an amazing, flying "Fairy Queen."  Please click here to learn more about how to get tickets... or you can text "fairy" to 80565.

Staging the finale of Act I... the biggest hurdle as this finale is around 20 minutes in performance length.

Batten/Button Down the Hatches

(Bryant assures me it's "batten" but I'm not convinced).

So, I wonder what Louis the Lightening Bug would have to say about this one... It's an exciting evening at the Lee House!

Captain Call's Sweet Ida May

8 years ago today, Ida was born.  This little hound pup was Bryant's 3 year (dating) anniversary present to me.  She is an amazing dog (even with her allergy issues).  Over the years, Ida has really taken on a lot of responsibility in the Lee Family.  Here are just a few of her roles...
