Mitch and Charlie


Our new little grand sons are here! They made their debut early Father's Day morning and we are so happy to finally see their sweet little faces.

Mitchell Luke was the first to arrive and Charles David arrived 20 minutes later.
Now our family will have another set of brothers named Mitch and Charlie.....and my Mitch, couldn't be any prouder.

Welcome to our world boys....you have already stolen your Ninnie's heart!

Fight, Fight, Fight

On Fox News this morning I heard of a couple in England who had their embryo implanted into the wrong woman's body, and then when she found out about the "mistake," she aborted the baby....how awful and how very sad. To think that a woman who has struggled with infertility for any length of time would do such a thing is beyond me. It was the mistake of the infertility clinic that started the whole fiasco, but that child was not a mistake. I hate what sin has done to our world...and I am so thankful to know the One who will set everything to rights again.

"I would say to my soul, O soul, this is not the place of despair; this is not the time to despair in. As long as mine eyes can find a promise in the Bible....as long as there is a moment left me of breath or life in this world, so long will I wait or look for mercy, so long will I fight against unbelief and despair." John Bunyan

The Emerald City






In May, Mitch and I took a much needed break and headed to Seattle. We were able to book a room at the Westin Towers in downtown Seattle. We had a perfect view from our room of the Space Needle, the harbor and of the downtown skyline, it was so pretty at night when all of the lights came on. We spent three days visiting all of the touristy places: the Space Needle, the Underground Tour, we took a ride on the monorail, took a ferry ride over to Bainbridge Island, and walked around Pikes Market and the wharf. We even got to see a Mariners game, thanks to some great friends. The Mariners beat the Angels that night and so it was a great game. Our last day was spent touring a wonderful museum at the Boeing plant. If you ever get a chance to visit Seattle, head to the Museum of Flight, it is well worth your time. Mitch had a great time "flying" an actual flight simulator, but thanks to me, he wasn't able to turn completely upside down! I like being right side up, thank you very much.
