Us cousins.




aunts & uncles

We were sorry to hear the sad news about Uncle David passing away on Thursday. He was a wonderful person. We will miss him. Our prayers go out to Aunt Diana and our cousins Naomi, Beth, Stephen & Rachel. We know that God will see you through this difficult time. Uncle David is in a better place. I can only imagine what is must have been like to be there when he entered heaven's gates. I'm sure Grandpa & Grandma & dad were there to welcome him home with Jesus.

Cat hair

Wow! Another week has flown by! Well, I've decided to start some overdue major spring cleaning (or fall...take your pick). I'm not sure when it will be finished though. LOL! I have good intentions of doing a little bit each weekend...yesterday I started with our bedroom & decided to rearrange all the furniture around. It's amazing how much cat hair can hide under the bed. There were still white clumps of fur from our cat, Miles, who we had to put to sleep last Sept. No matter how much sweeping and cleaning is done during the week there is usually enough cat hairs to make into a new kitten each week. Well, I was able to get the bedroom done..Yay!...with some help from Tim. (that Queen-sized mattress can get quite heavy) When I was finished the cats had to come in and investigate everything to make sure it was still the same bedroom. It felt like we were in a different place when we went to bed last night. I now see the glare of the bathroom night-light through our bedroom door when I wake up in the middle of the night. (I will just have to shut the door a little bit farther)...

Happy New Year!

Wow, it's hard to believe that 2007 has already passed us by & a new year is upon us. We had a wonderful Christmas. Tim & I spent the evening on Christmas Eve with his Grandma & Grandpa Lakes. We had a wonderful time visiting, exchanging gifts & of course eating!!! On Christmas morning Tim wanted to get up at 8 (he's still a kid at heart) so we could open presents. I got him a "preacher" bench...which is another piece of exercise equipment for our ever-increasing gym in the basement. :o) We went over to his Grandma & Grandpa McCray's for lunch & then my mother-in-law, Cindy, came over around 4:30 for supper. It was really difficult to get up the next day & go to work.
