A Big To-do about . . . Life

We try to count our blessings and constantly lose track because God is good ... eh, GREAT to us!

Father has crossed another birthday since the last post. I'll just say he is still in his 30s, technically. He is still young at heart, really young and immature at heart. He is working, preaching, studenting, and dading. He is busy but doing well!

Mom is busy! She had gone to a nearby city to teach two of what will be eight times. She is working hard and doing well. She is busy but still the most wonderful mother in the world.

Bubba will also cross an anniversary of life this week. He will be getting his permit to drive. You all might want to clear the roads! He has been engaged in speaking engagements and studying.

I have been getting more active with the youth group and have been loving it! We did a service project this past week to send food to Haiti. We had a devotional and. Group of us girls got together to pray. It has been a good week.

For our holiday, we are going to cross a couple of things off of our bucket list. We are going to Louisana for the first time and, while we are there, we are going to the Hard Rock Cafe in New Orleans. But, more to come on that next week!!

It's Been Busy; It Will Be Busy; And, We Love It!

School started this past week for the kids. It is hard to believe JT is in the tenth grade. Kaylee entered the eighth grade. Shawna will start back to work the week after next but things are coming in full swing for the university! A good friend of our's who has been on the mission field for the past several years is returning to serve as the missionary-in-residence for the school year. Their oldest daughter is starting at the university this year and has been in town for about a month. She has been at camps and with friends but has stayed a couple of nights at the house this past week. 

Some other friends are bringing the oldest child to start at the university and will be staying at our house this week for some time. It's good to see old friends but hard to believe our friends have kids starting college! Time marches on.

It is time to make an announcement: a dear family member of our's is having twins!!! They are excited. We are excited. We ask that you pray for them. She is awesome aunt to the kids and has a great family. We are excited to see the family grow!

JT is getting quite the social life. He has made youth group trips to Nashville the past three weekends. He loves it. We are proud of him.

Kaylee was involved in a mother- daughter day, yesterday. She helped with registration. She had a great time and continues to grow, physically and spiritually. 

Mom has a busy schedule this fall which will require her to travel to another city for one night a week for eight weeks. She loves her job and continues to work on her paper. She keeps the house in order. She is awesome!!

Dad is working and loving his job! He continues to counsel teenage boys and is loves it. He is active with speaking engagements and work with the church. 

Don't forget to pray!
