Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

Play Time

Mommy and her sweet girl……that’s right! We are all having a great time with both of them here. Riley is keeping us all entertained – and she has found quite a few ways to entertain herself, as well………….

Tug of war with Rascal is a real favorite…

Sometimes, Rascal even lets her win!

Helping Mimi get ready in the morning is also a lot of fun. Who needs toys when there are makeup brushes….kitchen utensils…and even dog toys (gross)!

A trip to Chick-Fil-A is always a hit!! Roo and I got to spend the afternoon together yesterday which totally made my week!
She is saying, “Turtle!” Totally knows the word fish but not yesterday!

Making new friends:)

Oh – and we celebrated Mommy’s birthday. Erica and Emily spent the afternoon shopping – without baby (which was a present to me!) and for our little party last night, we had ice cream cupcakes….I’ve never had these but, my goodness, were they good! Of course, after a week and a half on my diet, just about anything remotely sugar laden would be divine! Back on track today:)

Mommy and Miss Riley!

For my personal favorite “Riley antic”….check back tomorrow!

  3. I'm so happy your getting this time. Don't ya just LOVE that one on one Grandma experience? Can't beat it. your Miss Roo reminds me soo much of my Melly when she was little. Same tow head and big blue eyes. If I had a scanner I'd send you an old pic of her so you could see how much. ENJOY…Oh, and ice cream cupcakes? Never heard of them, but they sound like a wonderous idea. = )
