Wedding Bells

Greetings - Fall is definitely in the air - we hit the mid 40's last night for the first time this season. We're beginning to see a few trees turn colors too. Frost on the punkin' season.

This is from Brian's wedding - that is my folks on the right with me and Cindy behind. My sister to the right of Brian and all of her gang on the left plus Kaireia tucked in there. It was a nice wedding.

Church in a few minutes and then Cindy takes off for points north. It's baby time! Have a blessed week.

Chattanooga today

Kardia and Laura

Greetings - mom just called and told me my Uncle Bob Pancake had passed away this morning. Pray for the family as they mourn his passing.

Busy week ahead - Chattanooga today, back Tuesday afternoon, lots of deadlines this week and Brian's wedding this coming weekend. Hang in there.

Ecc 3:1-4 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,

Room at the inn?

Laura reading to Kaireia, Anna and Kardia

      A chilly day in Tennessee - just home from church and ready for a roaring fireplace!
     Well, exciting news - another grand-baby is on the way! The Kleemans called us a few nights ago to tell us the exciting news. My quiver is getting full!
     Laura is going to need a bigger lap to hold more of the kids!
    Have a blessed day - God is good.

Friday - already?

Wow - where do the days go? A busy but good week. Met a new prospect last night in Lenore City and meeting a new church prospect this morning as well. God is good.

Lincoln got a lot of attention at the reunion. Our youngest attendee seemed to enjoy the weekend.

County Fair tonight - Kairiea is looking forward to more rides and Cindy is spoiling her - go figure! I'll watch the demolition derby.

I'm back!!

We had a great thanksgiving - lots of great food and family. Now to loose the weight!

Here are a couple or red-headed gals for you to enjoy. Have a great day.

Happy Birthday Matt!

Pray for the Monroes as Larry passed away earlier this morning. I love you guys more than I can say.

More proof of the graduation

Actually these photos were before the graduation. Summer, Laura's friend, helped out a lot.

Picture proof

Yes - Laura did graduate!

Lee University

These are the 'before' photos. I'll put on more tomorrow to prove Laura graduated. The campus was beautiful - and so was the graduate.

What were you doing 2 years ago?

Have a great Friday - raining here as usual!

Hiking

We hiked several hours last week at a local state park with some church friends. What a beautiful park.

The sad part to me - I was the oldest of the group!

But cheer up, it's Friday.

Last Saturday

Some one came over to spoil the kids last Saturday! Everyone had a fun time.

A warm Saturday

Sorry - I was not able to post this morning but my blog is talking to me know.

Hope you are having a great day! It's warm here in Cookeville and wanting to break an old record for high temperature - we'll see.

Here's my sister Sandy and her gang.

Grandkids

My folks and all of the grandchildren. Talk about a dysfunctional mess!

Merry Christmas - I love you all!!

Family photos

Family photo time is always exciting - here are some that almost got away!

8/8/03

Five years ago This Friday ...

Questions - What event? Where did it happen?

(Sorry for late post - had to be in the office early working on bid)

Surprise!

Our little girl has graduated! Sandy has a bachelor's degree - hip hooray! We all snuck (or sneaked) over there and surprised here - if you don't know, she LOVES surprises. We had a great time and the food was great.

PS Accept these photos for Saturday and Sunday - our power was out much of last night so we are really off track.

A teaching moment

Yesterday's photo was Katie working with Kaireia on learning to read - a great trait to excel in life.

Today's photo is my niece Laura teaching Neidon how to be the center of attention. Another valuable trait in which she seemed to have some real skills.


(I love you Laura!)

Worn out

I'm exhausted and ready for a weekend. A new job and company all week - a fun time but ...... sorry, I dozed off for a second there.

The gang here still laughs at my jokes so all is well.

Have a great Friday - I'm way behind with calls and cards and stuff so forgive me - please be patient - I haven't forgotten you!!

Friends

Laura and Sandy came over Yesterday evening and we had a great visit.

The kids became instant friends with them, with Kardia taking just a bit longer. But you can see she did start to warm up to everybody.

Have a great week - we miss you all!
