Curry has two new tricks.
First, he has perfected the crab crawl. It's a mix between crawling and sitting. You can tell that he wants to be walking, but he gets stuck with one foot on the ground to wald and one foot back to crawl. He puts his hands out front to balance and scoots on his rear end across the floor. It's great.
Second, Curry James can officially pull up. He stands up all the time. On the couch, on the bakers rack, on our chairs, on the tub, on your pants leg, on anything that isn't moving (good for Skip and Sandie). What a guy. Can't wait for that first step with out any training wheels.

The Good the Bad and the Frozen
Last weekend was really a big deal for the Petal Skippers. For the most part it all revolved around our student ministry's disciple now weekend. What a great two days. We get to be around a bunch of our students all at once. We have a lot of our friends in ministry come to help out. Shout out to Emily Wilson who stayed at our house and to Grant Stegall who is officially too old to stay in a host home (but not too old to have a very handsome baby boy).
So the weekend went great. Everything was just right...Until 11:05pm. The students left the church around 9. The leaders stayed a while longer. Everybody left at 11:00, which is when someone accidentally ran over our gas meter as they left the house. We're talking 911, two firetrucks, evacuate the house, until 1:00am when the gas man showed up to plug the line. Skip had it the worst. He got separated from us when we left the house, and anyone who knows Skip can guess how we was handling the firetrucks all by himself.
Jessica B., Emily, Lins, Curry and I toughed out a night in the polar ice cap of Petal as it got really cold (30). We survived. Mom and Dad came to Petal unaware of our chilly situation to support me because I was preaching in "big church." After the sermon we ate in the fellowship hall with the boy scouts and then retreated for our igloo. Lins and I left the older Skippers with the cute Skipper for about an hour. When we got home, no one had moved. All three were still huddled around the open oven - bake at 350 for one hour and add sprinkles.
So, our hometown hero today is the gas man and the three guys with the backhoe. Because of those fellas we'll be warm tonight. Somebody get them a medal.
PS - Dad took some good pictures of Curry. They are on the blog.
