What Fun!

Stephanie and I took the kids to "Pump it Up" in Memphis for Family Night.  I'd have to say that's the best seven bucks I've spent in a long time (it's $7 per kid but Judd was free because he's two and Anna Kate...well, you get it).  

The boys loved it!  I told Stephanie while we were there that it was the easiest time I've ever had watching the boys.  It's also cheaper than a movie and they're able to get their energy out; which is absolutely necessary for little boys!  And more than necessary for our boys!!!

I'm thinking about building a "Pump it Up" in my backyard here in Brighton.  Any takers?

Judd Turns Two!!!

It was a very eventful weekend around the Perdue house.  We had a birthday party Friday night, Dan, Jessica and Rabun came up on Saturday and Judd turned two on Sunday.  Judd's party went great on Friday night, we've had a blast with my brother, sister-in-law and niece and Sunday was another great day at Crosspointe.  

Then, Sunday night, Judd came down with the vicious stomach virus.  He got sick while we were at church (sorry Jody and Stacy), and then again in my office, again on the way home and a few times again at home.  


I think he had a good birthday, but not a very good birthnight.  Poor kid...who wants to be sick on their birthday!!!


Here he is with his hand over his face.  Cute as he can be!

Big Game Tomorrow

I'm looking forward to the SEC Championship Game tomorrow.  Too bad UGA is not in the mix; that would be incredible.  But, I believe it's going to be a great game between Florida and Alabama.  Florida has been strong for years but I've been saying for a while now to watch Bama.  Once they got Saban, I knew they were on the rise.  It's going to be a battle for sure. When it's all said and done, I'm pretty sure an SEC team will be in the Championship Game against a Big 12 school.  And, as an SEC loyalist, you know I'll be pulling for them over the Big 12.  

As I was thinking football my mind was drawn to larger things.  How nice would it be for us to all come together for a common purpose and goal.  Sure, there may be some issues and circumstances where we fall on opposite sides, but in the big game, it's important to join together against a common foe.  I know I'm probably reading WAY too much into this game and the National Championship showdown, but I'm somewhat inspired when I can root for a team I've pulled against just a few weeks ago.  Interesting how football intersects with life and ministry.
