Well, the year has arrived and is off with a big start! We spent time with Steve, Patti and their sweet family over the New Year and what a time we had!!! We are so thankful for their family and what they mean to ours. God has been so good this year so far...I have struggled with spending time with Him the pasted few months and He has drawn me back to Himself! He is so amazing!

We are looking forward to the twins arrival. They are due in about 3 weeks. If Heather can make it that far. Friday will the the first milestone she needs to make and then every day will just be extra!!! She is good but very tired now. She says it is hard to sleep, to get comfortable!!

Cassie is doing well also. I think her morning sickness is almost over! She just had a birthday...I blinked somewhere along the road and I don't know where the days or years went!! Here she is married...2 babies and one on the way...sis married...twins in the way and really Michael and Katie are grown...I thought I would never survive the years of us all growing up together (and we did grow up together...I had more growing than they did and they taught me so much more than I taught them!) and now those days are gone..but they are replaced with an adult relationship with my kids that I would trade for anything!!!

I hope all is well...please pray for a family in our church who lost their sweet baby boy yesterday...I won't print their names for their privacy but she only had 3 more weeks until delivery...My God comfort their hearts and those of their 3 sweet children and extended family!
