Is Pride Really a Sin?

Is it really a sin to be proud when you're proud of your children?  Can't be!  Yesterday we went to a surprise birthday party at our neighbors' and the children were so well behaved and cute proving that some of the instruction on manners, etc. they receive over here is actually sinking in even if they don't practice these things consistently at home.  This makes me think the daycare ladies are not high when they're telling me Jackson is very well behaved and takes instruction well ;)  So the party was awesome.  The neighbors turned 60, one yesterday and one today, and their 4 kids threw this surprise party.  Everyone was so excited they actually pulled off a surprise - neither one caught on through all the planning and preparation!  There were children, a grandchild, a parent, old neighbors, current neighbors - and everyone had such a warm feeling from being able to participate in this wonderful celebration, especially when watching the video slideshow of photos representing the years of their lives together.  I'm sure they're very proud of their children today too!

Today, for Father's Day, the resident father wishes to attend an antique car show.  Fortunately, it's not too stinkin' hot today and I won't worry about having the baby out in the heat.  This is a big deal show - over 5,000 expected to attend with food and entertainment, etc.  The older kids should enjoy it because both like to jam.  It will be nice to get out of the house and not have to watch CCBB another 3-4 times today!

Thanks for the kind comments about being a pick of the week.
I sure hope Kayla will be well behaved. She does pretty good during church now. I love when other people notice how good she is.
