This past week my Mother's oldest brother, Ray, passed away in his sleep. He had just turned 70 in February...may seem old to some, but the older you get, the younger it sounds. This is the first of the 6 siblings to pass away, so it was very hard on all of them. We travelled to West Tennessee for the funeral on Friday.

For my mother and my aunts and uncles who read this blog, I want you to know that we are praying for you as you experience this time of grief and sadness.

Easter

We went out to eat Sunday evening for Easter instead of after church so we could avoid the big crowds. We went to a new Mexican Restaurant in Chattanooga called Abuelo's. I know---not your normal Easter meal, but it was so good!! Here are a few pics from our day and evening.

Catching Up

Boy I have a lot of catching up to do!! I think I will do separate entries to keep it less confusing (at least for me that is!!) So let the blogging marathon begin!

Happy Spring 2008!

I am so glad to see Spring is on the way! I am ready for capris and sandals (most of all just to see something besides maternity clothes! haha!)

I wanted to share a picture of Conner's Peach Tree in our yard. It is beginning to bloom and looks so beautiful!

The kids are on Spring Break beginning today through next week, and my aunt and uncle are coming in from Florida today to spend the week with us, so I don't know how much posting I will do.

I sure hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend, but most of all please remember what Jesus did for you on the cross. And Praise God, HE ROSE AGAIN!!

Guess Where We Are Going?

I'll give you a hint.............

Mari Cate is in the Black Fox singers choir at school and they auditioned to be part of Magic Music Days at Disney World and were accepted!!! Yeah!! So we get to go May 30th. This will be the first time for any of our kids to go to Disney and the first time in a looooong time for either Frank or me, so we are really looking forward to it! Want to join us??

One Month Old

Hayden is one month old today--I totally cannot believe it! I wanted to share a few pictures (shocking, huh?) Oh and by the way, he weighed 9 lbs 2 oz yesterday. I was thrilled with that after our little scare of him losing some weight!!
