Madison had another good day at school today, although Mommy and Daddy are still reeling from having to get up a little earlier! We were preparing for it by trying to go to bed earlier, but there's something about getting out of bed, out from under the covers, when it's a cooler season: you don't want to do it!
Today was Ba-Ba's birthday, so we called him together tonight: Madison sang "Happy Brithday" to him without any cue. She was rip-roaring and ready to sing. Perhaps she was excited because she trounced Daddy at Disney Princess Chutes and Ladders once again. No, that's probably not it. She's just naturally excited to talk to her grandparents on the phone. And from the sounds of it, they were glad to hear from her too!
It was a busy day today after school, starting with piano practice. We worked on a few chords, and though they stretched Madison's fingers a bit, she was still able to master the whole concept rather quickly. She had fun going from keyboard to keyboard - along with the other kids - and playing the chords along with Mrs. Pam. Mrs. Pam was playing a fun song to go along with that: an Elvis song. Yes, it's his birthday again also.
After dance practice, Mommy and Daddy watched "Blue Hawaii," which is a fun Elvis movie - it also gave us that itch to go back to Hawaii again. It was so nice there, and we'd love to go back. I guess this would be as appropriate a place as any to put the devotional entry in for the Graceland series a few years ago - it's an entry called "Blue Hawaii."

BLUE HAWAII
Isn’t God amazing? Have you ever stopped to think about the
wonder of His handiwork? From the
stunning cosmic display of stars across the universe to the vast panoramas of
creation across the planet earth, there is no question that our God is the most
extraordinary artist ever.
Imagine for a moment the grandeur of Blue
Hawaii: the ice capped mountain of Mauna
Kea, the towering waterfalls along the road to Hana, the majestic soaring green
walls of Waimea Canyon, and the beautiful color of sunsets along the sand
beaches throughout the islands.
About Blue Hawaii, it has been said that with all this loveliness, there should be love. And there is, for God has loved us enough to give us a stunning planet to live on! This world has been created for us to enjoy, to experience, and to take care of.

Look out the window and the miracle of
creation, and thank God today for the planet we live on. The whole place could have been dry, dusty
and red – like Mars. Or it could have
been cold and lifeless, like the moon.
But God gave us a world filled with wonder, filled with marvelous views
and excitement. With all this
loveliness, there should be love – for our Creator God!
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 NIrV
