A door closed…. That’s what Courtney entitled the post on her blog. Many of you know, she’s been in a courtship with a young man in recent months. Some weeks back, Paul started having some rather serious concerns. He was up many nights praying and thinking through things. At the same time, Courtney had been having some reservations of her…

Turning 4 Years
It’s birthday season (well, one of a few in our home now). After celebrating Darby and Matthew’s birthday, now it’s Meredith’s turn. She is like a little pixie in my home. I have a hard time seeing her as 4 years already, but it’s true. We baked her a cake and opened presents. She got a new stroller and a…
Two Months
Just breathe. Try and make it through this day. That is my only goal. Two months today. I woke up in tears this morning. I closed my eyes to try and relive those moments during the last weeks. I’ve tried to replay conversations I had with her. In some ways, it seems like just yesterday and in others, it…
Community Fellowship Reminder- July 9th
We would love to have you! Message me for details.
He’s Home!
After a VERY busy week, we picked Jacob up at Ft. McClellan yesterday. He’s decided without a doubt he will not be going into the military, but he is loving his time in Civil Air Patrol. He did decide he really likes search and rescue and would like to volunteer for our local fire department when he turns 18 later…
Paper Planes
Per Benjamin’s request, we embark on a new adventure- the family paper airplane race. This is not your average competition, but has actually been in the works for months. Each participant was responsible for his/her own design… some took their paper airplane making a little more serious than others. Some may have brought duct tape… And we had a spectators! …
Pool Parties
Friday night and a family party….
Gardenias and Sunday
The gardenias have been blooming. I took a couple to my grandmother this week. She asked me to hold them close so she might smell them easier. Her eyes closed and a smile crept across her face. There is a pleasure that only a freshly chosen gardenia can bring…my, my I do *love* this time of year. Courtney took these…
Summer Nights and S’mores
The stars are shining bright on this summer evening in Alabama. It’s actually relatively cool, with a slight breeze. It seemed so perfect to build a little fire and gather the children. I had gathered chocolate bars, graham crackers and marshmallows a couple of weeks back. Kudos to Nabisco for making s’more size graham cracker packages! Nice! It’s been…
Lyle
Look who wandered up on to our porch last week… I wasn’t quite ready for a new pet. We lost Gracie just a couple of weeks back– she was a loved kitty. I guess the Lord saw fit to deliver this new little one right to our door. The children found him with a water dish and a napkin with…
So Tired…
Meredith at church….
CAP Encampment
Don’t mind me this week, I’ll just stay here in this corner and pout for just a while. I may be feeling just a *little* sorry for myself. Of course, I know it’s not about me….it’s about him. He is growing up. He’s a man. He’s doing man things now. Jacob is at CAP encampment all week. When we dropped…
