Wedding Update

The dress has been ordered!  The rehearsal dinner venue has been booked, and we have an awesome photographer! The rehearsal dinner will be held at Grill 584. Here is a picture we took when we had dinner there for G's birthday. A sentimental sidenote about the rehearsal dinner restaurant is that hubby and I also had our rehearsal dinner there in 1984. Wow! Though it was not known as Grill 584, it is in the exact same location it was waaaay back then.

Happy 18th Birthday, J!

Today our youngest turned 18 at 2:16 pm. It doesn't seem possible that it has been 18 years since God blessed us with the addition of another son.  We love you, J!

Henry

Here is the post about Henry that I promised. He is a Standard Poodle and is two years old. We had a Chocolate Lab when the children were younger. He lived to be 11, and after he died, they all kept asking when we would be able to get another dog. I just wasn't ready. Well, they finally wore me down! I knew nothing about Poodles before Henry, but they all did some research and decided a Poodle was what we needed. Our lab was an outdoor dog, but the new dog was to be an inside dog. So, I would only agree to that if they found a breed that didn't shed. And, he doesn't -not one hair! Henry is a rascal, way too smart for his own good.   We sure do love him, even if he does get himself into trouble occasionally!

JM

This is our older son, JM, who is a freshman in college. I sure have missed him being home this year! I love you, JM.  Next year will be a REAL adjustment for this mom when we experience an empty nest. JM is pictured with our family pet, Henry. Henry will get a post of his own someday; I feel sure -ha!

Happy Birthday,G!

Today is G's birthday. We had a great weekend celebrating him and Easter! G, we hope you enjoyed your special day. I could not resist a picture of the delicious strawberry cake we all devoured-haha...

Happy Easter!

"Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
 Oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day" -Casting Crowns

College Decision

Our youngest, J, will graduate from high school on June 8. He has finally made his college decision! Any guesses as to where he will call home for the next four years? We are so proud of him and pray he will make the most of this opportunity as he journeys into the next chapter of his life. And, this thankful mom is very glad he will be a short distance down the road! ;-)
