Ah, a spider!!!

This female was rescued by our team from the harsh winter. Note the egg sack. After having a dream that everyone entering our house turned into spider people, mom convinced the rescuers to do a release.

Easter 2010

We celebrated with 1/2 the Armour clan and with Uncle John.

Jeremiah's birthday

His mom made an awesome brownie cake in the shape of TX. It tasted as good as it looked. Thanks Armour's for letting us celebrate with you.

Christmas 2009

My birthday

Yes, that's cheesecake, folks. For lunch, my family took me to Sweet Tomatoes. Then we did some Christmas shopping at The Woodlands Mall. That evening, we celebrated with Stephanie,
Brooke, and Zachary. I was so blessed by my children's lovely gifts and thoughtfulness. My husband then took me to dinner to Chili's afterwards. This is the first year I have learned to be thankful for the 38 yrs. God has given me instead of vainly rebelling against another year of getting old. Since every day is a gift, I should rejoice!

Homewood Christmas party

The Holder's and us are a part of a co-op in the Magnolia/The Woodlands area. This year we all brought change to support a ministry that provides shoes for children.

Brooke's birthday

Snow in Magnolia

Celebration

Having returned from OK and Albert recovering, we were blessed with Welch's sparkling grape juice from the Armour's. We are so thankful to the Lord for Doctor Wilson who performed Albert's reversal. We've experienced such peace in turning from our sin and making right what was wrong. At this point, we are not expectant to receive any "blessings" just thankful for God's mercy.

Grand daddy's birthday

We (aunts, uncles, cousins) all got to celebrate together this year here at our home.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Moses and Pharaoh Oct. 31, 2009

The kids love to participate in family plays. This Halloween we decided to make it the deadline for our latest drama. We spent our Saturday, after getting candy, preparing for the play. I was trying to finish the 10 plagues part of the script and Christian got all of the props lined up. Ethan ran around excitedly asking for candy and Kara kept getting different outfits to wear as Nefretiri. We were to perform once Albert got home. We had camera problems because Christian's camcorder does not attach to the tripod. We rigged it with rubberbands.

the wreck

On Wed., Oct. 21 we (me, Christian, Ethan, Kara) were on our way to Steph and Jeremy's house. We were going to watch the babies so they could take Jonathan, Jeremy's dad, out for his birthday. We'll you've heard that most accidents happen within 5 miles of home and that was true for us. We were in the left turn lane about to get onto Woodlands Parkway when a 19 yr. old young man in an F150 plowed into the back of us. I actually saw him about to hit us. There was nothing I could do. Thankfully, we did not plow into the car stopped in front of us. I got out and was shaken knowing the kids were in the back seat. God took care of them. Praise Him. We pulled over and waited for DPS. I called Steph and she came out to be with us. Albert was still in Houston as it was only 4:30pm.

Barrington Farm Home school days

We went to our first home school days out at Washington-on-the Brazos.

Art Fair

The kids are participating in an art fair on Nov. 13. This is part of our co-op with Homewood Christian Association. I've got to get the trifold board and get it in the works.

Pecans, pecan

Steph and I will be travel in a week or so to get the delicious nuts that are falling at the farm. If you are interested, we are selling them $6 a pound. Please email me with your orders so you won't miss out on these great tasting treats.

Membership

We will be official members of Grace Family Baptist Church on Oct. 25. We've waited 10 months to complete the process. We've really enjoyed the learning and the fellowship.

Bible study review

I highly recommend the John study by Anne Graham Lotz. You can check it out at www.annegrahamlotz.com.

More Easter

We were able to worship at First Baptist Mineola. All the family attended and afterwards we ate a meal together at Steph and Jeremy's house. I enjoyed holding Zachary. The kids loved chowing down on all the chocolate candy.

We're back!

Have we been busy! So much going on. Sorry not to keep this updated. Here's some pics from Easter.
