Wishing all of you a bright & happy new year full of God's providence & blessing for 2006!

Madelyn's 1st Christmas Morning

Time to open gifts!

Every little baby needs a hat and mittens this time of the year.

Someone made Madelyn a cowgirl bib and a blanket that made 1st place at the county fair. (Thankyou Grandma Grape)

Christmas is fun.

My family left Virginia to find their first snowfall of the season in Missouri! Four inches over the weekend made it fun with family in a winter wonderland!

Just Maddie and Grandpa.

"Oh my. What a big stack of papers you have Grandma. I want to crinkle each and every one of them."

"Hey, has this one been okay'd to hold me?"

"This one's nice."

Yummy.

Here's a picture of the cat, the legend, Black Tiger. He turned 12 this year. I am still a very young and attractive 3 years old.

Madelyn just turned 6 months old.

In Loving Memory, December 9th, 2005. Great Grandma George (with Maddie earlier this summer)

Great Grandma George

Our family would be grateful for your prayers at this time. My Grandmother George had made a difficult decision to forgo treatment for suspicous spots on her lungs some time ago. In God's timing now, it appears that He will be calling her home soon as she is likely receiving comfort measures with what appears to be stage-four lung cancer.
We love her dearly, and pray for God's grace and peace to her at this time. She has led an inspiring life of faith and is a former missionary to Guatemala. She has always tried her best to be a good mother, grandmother, great-grandmother & "good and faithful servant" of the Lord.
We love you Grandma.

Maddie and Teddy.

Here's an Autumn view in our backyard.

. . . as the famous one-liner goes (or should go). Jeremiah is busy with finals thru December 13th. I hope he doesn't forget to feed me.
