Here come the.......

Girls.....

Don't they just look so cute!!

I don't know about Steve but....

I wasn't quite ready for this!!!
Thanks to the way Shelby was dressed, Steve even "recognized" the flowers she's carrying.


Today was a day of laughter and tears. I spent the afternoon going through a ton of "stuff". I mean you wouldn't believe all of the stuff I "found" today. Well some of you would. Among the highlights in the paper category: the receipt for Steve's high school ring, a card that Jack made me when he was just a little guy, and cards from my students both here in Columbia and in Greenwood. There were a ton of other items I found and had fun looking at but in the grand scheme of things, realized that it was time to let them go--the first t-shirt I can remember getting from dance but know what I remember about the shirt--Jack getting sick all over me while I was wearing it!! It was fun and I think that Shelby also enjoyed my little stroll down memory lane.

Here you go...

For all my buddies who asked, the links are back!!! It's a "slow" night can you tell?

What is about a shower

that makes people sing? We have been pondering this phenomenon for quite some time. Steve and I are sitting downstairs right now listening to on of our children sing in the shower. Just for the record, 2 of the 4 are in the bed asleep!!! Oh the joys of being a parent.

News Flash #2

Casey only wears a diaper for naps and night time now. She has been working really hard at being a "big girl.". We are so happy!!!

News Alert!!!!

Landon can walk!!!
I somehow missed posting this on here!!! Poor 4th kid. He's been walking about a week and a half. Sorry to have forgotten to put this on here.

Are you ready

to go and vote? Tomorrow is the day and I hope that if you have not already done so, that you will get out and vote--it truly is a privilege!!! Steve and I voted on Saturday. It wasn't to bad--we only waited 3 hours. I know you're thinking how can 3 hours not be bad? Well last time we waited 3 hours to vote, we did it standing in the rain and this time we were inside a building.
Several of you know that I have strong opinions on this election and that my nerves have been totally shot at times. Well this weekend was just what I need. Yesterday our sermon was from I Peter 5. It was on being humble. Being humble is not something that happens to us but something we choose and after yesterday's lesson, I think it can be a good mark of where your spiritual walk. I will just say that I need to work on this area. Then today, Mimi sent me just what I needed. I'm going to post the link here. It's from In Touch Ministries. You know sometimes I just get in the way and get so wrapped up in my emotions and what I want/think/whatever that sometimes, I have to be reminded who is in control--God not me and He is sovereign.
So if this election, or work, or the economy has you stressed--or even life in general, then take some time today and read this and then have a chat (well actually we need to listen) to the one who is in control.
Have a great day.
