This week, our senior pastor at Antioch Bible Church passed away after a long battle with cancer. We have been so blessed to have his leadership at our church. We are thankful that he is now rejoicing with the angels at the feet of his savior, and look forward to seeing him again someday inContinue reading “Hutch”

Finally, finally, a gymnastics class fit my requirements: 1) fits our schedule, 2) close in proximity, 3) reasonable cost. By close in proximity, I mean within twenty minutes’ drive. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable here… but it has been really tough to find a class for Haley. She has asked to join a gymnasticsContinue reading “Gymnastics”

Our annual women’s Christmas dinner was this weekend at our church. For the past few years, I have hosted a table. It is a lot of fun. There is great food, beautiful table decorations, a fabulous speaker, good music, and yummy dessert. This year, for the first time, Jim was my table server! The menContinue reading “Celebrating”

Haley ended up sitting through aContinue reading “Camera Surprise”

We are so thankful for the many men in our family who have served or are currently serving in the military. Both sides of our family are full of service in the army, navy, and air force. We were also thankful for a day off together to relax with family! My parents invited us overContinue reading “Veteran’s Day”

I noticed a few weeks ago that JT had reached the ends of his toddler bed. He has never asked for a new bed and when I’ve brought it up, he’s always responded that he likes his bed just fine. But this time when I asked, he said “I think I grew. My toes goContinue reading “A New Bed”

Since Alabama has a big game tomorrow against LSU, we did our grocery shopping in appropriate attire today. I took a few photos on our way out the door. Roll Tide! I can’t decide between this one or the next one…
