Forgive Me!!!!!!

Well...I am asking forgiveness for not updating this blog. Sal and I have been pretty busy lately. Most of my spare time has been spent watching lectures, reading books, and going on walks. We were able to spend some time 2 weekends ago with some of you in Chattanooga. While I was super happy to see my family, I have to say that the time that I was able to spend with my mother-in-law was probably of the best quality yet. I am thankful for that. What a blessing. All of my little sister-in-law's and Austin are very dear to me and I was so glad to spend the weekend with them too.
I love you all...I don't have much to add right now, but I am hoping that this new post will inspire you all to comment and update us all on your lives. CALEB???? Any baby yet?
CLAIR??? How is the job bro? CARY??? Been fishing lately? CITA??? How is the business going? CURTIS??? When you leaving man? Mom and Dad, WHAT IS THIS I HEAR...YOUR GOING TO VEGAS??????? What is the world coming too?
Love you all...I look forward to getting this thing back up and running.
Talk soon.

Happy 9th Birthday to Evelyn!!!!

She had a great weekend. We actually all did too. Friday, we pack up and went over to Chester Frost Park to camp out with a few people from church. It was a very hot afternoon as we set up camp. As soon as we got the tents set up. Clouds were coming in so I started to get everything put away and organized -- I took my time. Just as soon as I was done with everthing the rain came!!!! This about 5:30. The kids had a good time play in the rain at the playground. We were going to get ready to eat. But that was put on hold until about 8:00. It was still sprinkling a little but we were able to get a fire going and we had a gas burner to use. So we made chicken fajitas. Yummy!! They were so good. About 10:30 the rain pretty much stop and we were able to roast marshmallows and have smores!!!We went to sleep at midnight!!Everyone slepted well consider we on the hard ground. Had pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon for breakfast. We cleaned up after that. Took all the tents down. Packed up and headed to the beach for the afternoon. The kids and I along with a couple of girls from church swam for the afternoon. Sun and swimming that tires you out. But we all had fun. We headed home about 3:00. Gwen, Ros, Jenna were all sleeping by the time I reached Hixson Pike which is not far from where we were. Came home and put them all to bed and started the wonderful thing of putting everything away!! Because of the rain we had alot of wet clothes and bedding. So off to the laundry mat to get that all done quickly.Evelyn went to Grandma's for the night -- she wanted to help Grandpa with his paper route. There is alot of steps involved with that route. So she had good excerise. Sunday we had a great service. Then we had coupons for Applebee's. All the kids ate free and Clair had a gift card from his birthday. So we had a great birthday lunch for Evelyn. Wherever you all are at today. Have a great one!!! Love you all!Praying for you April as time comes near.
