This is a fourth of our family. Our son Paul, his wife Melissa, our grandson Bryce and of course grandpa. Since none of us were able to have a vacation this year we all decided it would be nice to go some where close by and the Football Hall of Fame fit into our plans nicely. We all had a great time and it was nice to get away for one day without any stress. Since Home Depot did away with full time jobs, Paul has a new job, Melissa is in nursing school and doing great. Bryce stays at home (he will be 13 this month) and takes care of two house cats, a dog, a bird and a lizard. Outside he is in charge of a goat and one horse and one mule. This keeps him very busy.

Thankfullness

Sometimes we forget to be very thankfull for everything that comes into our lives. By this I mean our health and how much we take for granted. This year has been an experience for my husband and myself. In March in was discovered that David's prostate cancer was active and needed to be dealt with. What we are thankful for is it is amazing to see so many people with cancer (young and old) that come for treatment. We praise the Lord for being with us through this time and for providing the health care Dr.'s and Nurses who attend to the patients. We are almost through with the radiation treatments and I say we since it affects both myself and my husband. Through all of this I had to have a pacemaker since I was having heart problems and then had a very small stroke. With all this we have learned to lean on the love of our Lord and draw closer to him. Praise the Lord

This is the newest member of our family. Mckenzie is a sweet little girl that so far is a very good baby. She is now two weeks old. Her brothers enjoy her very much and can't wait until they can do more things with her. How precious and innocent is this little girl that God gave to us to enjoy and help raise to teach her all about Gods great gift to us in Jesus Christ.
