Oh, What A...Week...


Nice way to be greeted early this morning. My hubby went out for a sit on the wicker chair and just happened to look under the cushion. Why? Because there is always a little green lizard that lives under that cushion and he did not want to sit on him. Well...this was there instead. Surprise, surprise. Nasty snake. I don't think this one is poisonous but yuck it might as well be.
It has been a whirlwind week. Last weekend at the ranch for Mother's Day was a blessed and wonderful time. So thankful to be with our boys and with my mama. God is good.
 Mother's Day lunch at Underwoods. Have you ever seen more food on one table before? :)
Most of the week as been spent getting ready for these precious young men to fly off to Peru for the summer. God is on the move in their lives. They will be blessed and will be a blessing. Thank you for putting our boys on your prayer list.
I greatly appreciate it.
 Proud papa and mama. William-we sure love you.
 Your grandfather does too!

On to news of the youngest gentle giant. This photo taken a few days ago is of him packing for his summer in the mountains of New Mexico. Church camp kids- CBH- meet a new counselor. What fun you guys are going to have!
So- this is a hello for now. We are still moving fast and praying hard and loving each day. When all this settles a bit I will be back for a good visit and some thoughts on discipleship and weirdly- Le Mis.

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I...
