I figured it was time for another peek at Baby Sam! What a CUTIE! And, as you can tell, his sisters are crazy about him. It scares me to look at Maddie in that picture. She seems so old. CRAZY! We had a great morning together yesterday. Wrestling, laughing, coloring, snuggling--what can be better?

Sheryl and I had a great date yesterday, thanks to Kiki. We spent the afternoon and evening together. We saw Batman Begins and ate some great food at Stoney River. The best part, however, was the quality time together and having un-interrupted conversations. I loved it!

Friday night ZOE traveled to Huntsville. Sheryl wasn't able to go so Clarissa went in her place and did a fabulous job. I'm not sure what I was expecting. I knew it would be a fun trip and I knew that church (Twickingham) had a great reputation. Any expectation was completely blown out of the water. It was such an amazing group of people and such a sweet night of worship. Greg, Lincoln, Mike, Tim, Janet--all of you who made our time there so special, THANK YOU! There were so many neat conversations. I didn't want to leave. WE ended up getting home later because we couldn't stop talking. The trip itself was incredible. Aside from one un-named driver almost killing us. hmmmm. I feel sure there'll be a comment on that one. HA!

This morning we are in John 10, perhaps one of my all time favorite chapters in the New Testament. The promises there are so comforting. Not only are we His sheep, not only will He lead us, but we will hear His voice--and not only hear His voice but be able to discern it from the voice of the enemy. LOVE THAT!

I wish I'd known you were going to be in Huntsville! I'd have called my sister and told her to be sure to go see you all. Now I have to call her and find out if she even knew you all were going to be there. (Did Twickenham advertise?)

Anyway, I wanted to say....

What a wonderful testament to your family. When I got to the part at the end where you thank God for Sheryl, I wept.....it was so beautiful.

You are so very blessed!!
Happy Anniversary, and here's to many many more!!
