Ice Storm

As you can see we have had a lot of ice and snow! We lost power Tuesday night and it just came back on this afternoon. We did enjoy spending time playing games, cooking in the fireplace, slumber party in the living room and of course sledding! I was kinda disappointed that the power was back on and we were back to t.v. computer, ipods,etc... I really enjoyed the change of pace but the heat is a VERY GOOD thing! The fireplace is a must I have decided.We are getting a little more snow tonight and tomorrow with a warm up in the 40's by Sunday. Monday starts another set of storms...hopefully just snow but if not we will make the best of it. God is so good to give us such beautiful things to look at during every season!

Miracle

The first one made me cry the next one made me cry for all those babies that will never make to birth with the help of this man.Ironic isn't it?

EXCITING NEWS!!!

melissa when she was about 3...seems like yesterday



Melissa and Lee



Melissa will be getting married July 3rd 2009! This was not a surprise as we have seen she and Lee grow in their relationship over the past year. What a blessing to see God bring the 2 of them together and give them a desire to Glorify him together with their lives. If anyone is prepared for marriage to a minister it is Melissa at least she cant say she doesn't know what to expect. Lee graduates from Boyce here at southern seminary and will continue to pursue his education and begin studying for his masters degree. Melissa already has an apartment on campus that is cheap and includes utilities so they should be able to handle things financially. They are both frugal and wise so we have no worries.What an amazing time for parents when the first born gets married. Such a mix of emotions.Such a big dose of reality as to your own aging and how time is passing quickly. It has made me want to have another baby. I hope that is normal lol.I guess I am not ready for the starting of life and parenting to be over. What a range of thoughts and emotions...joy...fear...inadequacy...excitement...
sadness...all coming at one time.I find myself praying more so that is a good consequence. I am looking forward to all the fun things that have to be done.I pray that I will keep my head and enjoy this time and help Melissa enjoy this time as well.

Way too long!

Yes, that is sparkling grape juice in case you were all wondering if we moved to Kentucky and became drunks LOL :)










Sorry for the long wait for an update!!! There is a lot to tell! First we had a great Christmas with Caleb! It is beyond words to describe how nice it was. Then to have the pure joy of watching him play on new years eve in the Armed Forces Bowl! We had a great Bowl party here at the house with about 20 friends all eating and watching the game.Robert had the WONDERFUL opportunity of going to the game in Fortworth. We had such a good time that it is hard to know we wont see him again for so long.
