The Forelines

We had a great visit from David’s (and mine now) cousins, Michelle and Dane Forelines, last week. They were in Raleigh and came over for an afternoon visit. It was fun to see them and we always enjoy talking to them! They are such a sweet and neat couple who obviously love the Lord and […]

Welcome to Our Home

We are almost 100% finished with this foreclosure’s renovations. Unfortunately, we have lost most of our “before” pics somewhere. So, I’ll just give you pics and little description of what David has put into it. I say “what David has put into it” because he has done 99% of it single handedly. I’m so impressed […]

Last day at the lake

The Lord blessed us with great weather for the last day here! It was perfectly overcast and not too hot, but definitely warm enough to swim. We found a great beach for the kiddos to play when low and behold the ice cream boat drove into view! That’s right, just like the ice cream truck […]

An evening at the lake

The weather has been perfect here this week. We especially enjoy the evenings outdoors when we don’t have to worry about the sunburns. I just feel sorry for the neighbors who get to listen to these nonstop-talking-2-year-olds (who seem to get overly excited when they are together) during their peaceful evenings at the lake.

Colt’s Cake

Between Mom and Aunt B (or “BB” as Colt so affectionately calls her), Colt ended up with a birthday cake. And not just ANY birthday cake. . . but a “Colt” cake as you can see by the pictures. He thought that was pretty cool. Licking the icing off the candle (you can see the […]

Playing at the lake

Colt is enjoying playing with Sarah this week at the lake. It’s cute to see how they actually play together and interact differently since they are older. We are having lots of fun with the fam too – tubing, water skiing, jet skiing, playing rook and other fun games. It’s been lots of fun so […]

To Colt with Love

Well Bubby. . Mommy had to work on your birthday. The good news is you probably wouldn’t have ever known if I didn’t just write it here in cyber space where it will remain forever 🙂 The bad news is that I’ve never been one that really cared about celebrating on the “actual day” before. […]

Exploring

I believe the heat index was 115 yesterday. . . Some people choose to stay inside, but those of us who would rather be outside may have searched for a shady cool watering hole. The good news is that we actually have one of those within walking distance of our home. The bad news is […]

Happy Birthday Papaw

Today would have been Papaw Gene’s 85th birthday. He passed on 6-21-10 with the same dignity that he walked with his entire life. He was such a gentleman and the most generous, kind person I have ever known. He was a blessing to so many. . we have received so many cards and condolences that […]
