Catching up......

Wow, time flies when you're having fun! Hannah certainly has provided lots of fun and joy in our lives. Lots of things have happened since she was born.

First, we are getting ready to move the end of this month. So in addition to playing with Hannah, I have been doing a lot of packing. We are so excited for the opportunity God has given us!

In June, my mom's mom (affectionately known as 'Memaw' by her grandkids) went to be with Jesus in June. We all miss her, but know that she is in a place far, far better.

In August, I had my wisdom teeth out. It was the first time I ever had any sort of surgery and I was pretty nervous. Thankfully they were all impacted, which is better for healing. I swelled like a balloon. After most of the swelling went down, I had visible bruising on my face. I am pretty much back to normal now.

So, that is what has been happening around here. I also want to ask my readers a question. Is there anyone out there who is encouraged by my blog? I am thinking about quitting the blogging sphere, but if there is someone who is encouraged reading my blog, I might not quit.

My new little sister, Hannah, was born early this morning at 1:25. She weighed 7 lbs 8 oz, and is 20.5 inches long. As you can see from the picture, she is very cute! Mom and Hannah are doing well, but tired. We all are so excited to see her!

I am thinking. . . That what Patrick Henry said about the Constitution is coming true "This, sir, is my great objection to the Constitution, ........ that the preservation of our liberty depends on the single chance of men being virtuous enough to make laws to punish themselves."(I am not against the Constitution, I just agree with Patrick Henry on this point.)
