Happy Birthday Anna !

Congratulations Andria & Daniel!

A Time For Rejoicing!

Daniel and Andria have announced their Engagement and forthcoming Wedding, giving a whole new definition to 'short engagement'! Excitement and Anticipation reign! Stress and anxiousness beaten down daily!

Love You Guys!

"A sentence from Psalm 101 has been both challenging and convicting for me: 'I will walk in my house with blameless heart' (Psalm 101-2, NIV). When God speaks to me about being more loving, this verse reminds me to make application in my family first—and then to others. It forces me to ask, 'Am I more spiritual, more loving, or more fun somewhere else? Who gets my best—my family or others?'"
-- Jean Fleming

I read this at the bottom of an email I received this morning and just had to share it.

Big Day for Mia!

A beautiful day for a ride........

Mia suspects we took a wrong turn!

Just a little 'pinch' and it will be all over!

Empathetic bystanders!

Feeling of Accomplishment....

well, almost.

Of UpWords and Birthdays!

Anna and I (along with Mia) traveled up north Friday afternoon to celebrate Nana's birthday (her 91st). After supper, we put our pj's on early. Nana had an assortment of robes for us to choose from and once we made our choice, we settled in for an evening of UpWords and fudge! What a great combination! Nana is quite the party girl....we finished up our last game about 1:00 a.m. and headed off to bed. We had a late breakfast, and carrot cake and ice cream for lunch! Andria showed up just in time for a quick picture before we hit the road for home!

and oh yes, Mia behaved famously, winning the hearts of friends and neighbors that stopped by!

Presto Change-o!

Happy Birthday Andria!

And They Called It Puppy Love

We are having so much fun with Mia! She loves the Big Dogs and they pretty much ignore her!

She is like built-in entertainment for us, constantly trying to amuse or engage us. If we're not paying attention to her, she'll find something she shouldn't have and parade by, head held high and tail wagging!
