Meet my niece..Carissa

Remember "where is Thumbkin"? every finger was "thumbkin"

Our newest family member

I'd like to introduce you to Clare. This is the sweet dog that we will be adopting.

Clare has a story, but I'll spare you the details, because surely you'd be looking for a kleenex. We're hoping to provide her with a happy home filled with lots of love & kisses. Right now, she is staying with her foster mom who will take care of here until she's healthy enough to join our family.

Tomorrow, Clare will start her heartworm treamtent which will take 4-6 weeks, after that she'll need to get spayed and then need some dental work.

We got to visit her yesterday and we just fell in love with her. I was so excited to meet her that I forgot to take pictures. We are getting her through the same place we got Oscar, Animal Allies of Texas. So, I'll leave you with some sweet pictures of little Clare-bear.

Another reminder

That cancer does NOT discriminate.



Please pray for COMFORT, HEALING and JOY for Lisa and her family.

I ran across this blog and just want to ask that you please join the many that are praying for this young mother. You can go here to read more about her sweet family.

January 21, 1995

Remebering your BIRTHday. I was so excited at the anticipation of finally getting to meet you. Your father and I were so excited yet so nervous. You never cease to amaze us. We love you and hope that today you have a great day.

Happy Birthday, Josh!

Pray for Haiti

We are all hearing the terrible stories coming out of Haiti. With our prayer, God will hear our cries for mercy.

First Day of the First Month--2010

Happy New Year everyone! I'm so thankful HE has allowed me to see the first day of a brand new year. Pondering over the last 12 months, I did pretty good in keeping my "resolutions" for 2009.

My walk with my Lord & Savior has been the utmost important thing of all and I've grown soooo much closer to him~~thank you Father!

We were all pretty healthy in 2009 and thankfully Joe and I both still have our jobs despite the "recession" (Is that what they are still calling it?)

I've added some new friends in my life and I'm thankful for that~~

So, welcome 2010 and I'm looking forward to seeing what you bring me this year.

Blessings to all of you,
