Pray for us and my grandfather

My grandmother (dad's mother) succumbed to a cerebral aneurysm yesterday. Please pray for us as we travel and for my grandfather who has never spent a day without her for 60 years.

Fly my soup, fromputer, pumtato

I just posted a lot of pictures, so scroll down to see all the new pictures of our latest adventures and visits from family!

My latest favorite story is when Papa made his famous split pea/ham soup here. Aidan was eating it and kept saying "Daddy, fly my soup". I wasn't paying attention and kept thinking of that joke, "Waiter, there is a fly in my soup"-- but what it really means is for Daddy to make an airplane out of the spoon and "fly my soup".

Latest vocab is, "Mommy, I want to play on the fromputer (computer) and I like pumtatoes (potatoes)."

"Boring pictures"


We went to a Marriage Retreat in Rome, GA

Used to be a dairy farm

Refurbished by Chick Fil-A as the WinShape Retreat

Now it is a ministry/retreat center for couples and a summer camp

And, you have the ultimate outfit!
