Baby News Flash...YEAH!

Okay so Ruthie and Joel are having a baby boy around the first of December. Nathaniel and Ashley are having a baby girl just before Christmas. I got to go with Ashley to the Hospital at Fort Polk in Louisiana, for her appointment today. I had the wonderful opportunity to be there when they did the ultra sound. It was so awesome to see that little baby girl that is developing. What a blessing it is to have grandchildren. Two babies on the way for special delivery at Christmas time. Oh my Thank you Heavenly Father for such wonderful blessings! In Jesus name we thank thee with all our hearts!

One of my favorite quotes...

"Kindness is the essence of greatness and the fundamental characteristic of the noblest men and women I have known. Kindness is a passport that opens doors and fashions friends. It softens hearts and molds relationships that can last lifetimes."

Our Son Brandon...

Brandon and his cute baby girl. Brandon we love you lots and miss you more. So glad we were able to get in touch with you and be a part of your life if only via email and the phone for now. We are looking forward to seeing you and your family this Christmas of "08".

Pappa and Baby Matthew


This was way too funny watching Pappa teach Matthew to make noises...LOL

Nathaniel Graduates!

We traveled to San Antonio to watch Nathaniel Graduate on July 4th! He graduated with honors! It was soooo awesome to see him after so long without him. We are all very proud of his accomplishments. He looked soooo good! Fit and trim. And now, he is off to the Presidio at Monterey for linguistics school.

I am going to miss you Nathaniel. I can't even imagine how hard it is going to be for Ashley the six weeks Nathaniel is gone. So glad we got to spend time as a family at the beach with him. We all love him so much.
