Sitting near the fire tonight watching quite another snowfall. Church was called off due to the approaching snow/sleet. Don't think we really will get much, but the thought of snow always draws excitement. The kids are playing with Legos and horses and computers. Chris got my laptop to work better and longer - at least for tonight. Know that in just a couple of weeks Barron and I will have quiet again in our house, but I know that withdrawal from grandkids will set in pretty quickly too!!
This has been a bittersweet time, knowing that they are with us for a limited time. Have enjoyed helping with the homeschooling - even was substitute teacher one day - and seeing how quickly the kids are learning and expanding their horizons. Was there the day the girls realized they could put sounds together and READ! Caleb is a sponge and reads quite well, and David is typing 20 wpm with no errors! I was impressed with them all!!
Barron has been an excellent chef, and even allowed Chris to try out some recipes. Their presentation at Spring Arbor was excellent, the first time we had actually heard Chris preach. Now looking forward to their next step in ministry as they return to Texas and prepare to take over the Soldier's Hospitality House in September.
Really miss having Nate nearby ... looking forward to seeing him at least in June at our BFC Mission Project in Fort Worth! He is branching out to a new Chicken Express in Corinth, Texas which will probably mean a move for him and Megan to a place closer to his work.
And I mention all the work at the creek having to do with beavers and their dams --- and putting out traps for armadillos that are determined to tear up our yard!!
Sweet Home Alabama! But we will always have a Texas connection with our son and his wife living in Fort Worth area and our daughter/hubby/grandkids in ministry at the Fort Hood Soldier's Hospitality House.
