We love you, Harold!!!!

Molly is 7 Months and growing
Molly turned 7 months the other day. My, my, where does time go? Seems like Mary Ellen should just be 7 months, little alone, Molly. She is learning to sit up on her own. She still falls backwards ever now and then. But she's getting there. She loves getting attention from anyone, but especially her sisters.
I took these pics, because I wanted to show everyone that she is able to sit up, but it took 3 pics before she looked at the camera.
Leah loves playing with Molly. Can't ya tell?
Mary Ellen likes to sneak and get in Molly's bed with her. I guess I need to start raising the bed-side up. Molly will be coming out herself, before too long!
Pizza, Pizza, Pizza!
We made homemade pizza a couple weeks ago. I'm just now posting the pics, but I thought they were worth sharing. The girls had lots of fun making the pizza and eating it too! And I will say, it was pretty yummy. We'll have to do again real soon.

Thankful again today...
I am once again, so very thankful for, well, just everything! I am so thankful for my salvation through Jesus Christ, God's Son. I am thankful for my family; my dear husband, my darling little Lexie, my active and compassionate Leah, my sweet Mary Ellen and my baby Molly. I am so thankful for my mom and dad. I see everyday, now that I am a parent, just what they went through as they raised me. I'll never be able to thank them enough. I am thankful for my little brother, Harold, who keeps me young and encouraged and helps me to be "random." I am thankful for Sharon, Bud, Scott, and Liz and all of our extended family. I am thankful for my church family, whom I live with and commune with everyday. I love sharing my life with these great people and "breaking bread" with them. I am learning what it means to be a member of the "Acts 2" church. I really want that! And I am thankful for good health. Don't get me wrong, I guess I could complain about some things, but all in all, I am very blessed and I am thankful.
"Father God, these are good days for us right now. Thank you. Help me to praise you in the good times and in the storms of life. Please be with my friends who are hurting and are discouraged. Please use me to encourage them and show them to You. You are the Way, the Truth and the Life. Please use me however you see fit. I am Yours. Amen."
The link below will take you to a Youtube video of a song that is my testimony.
I love this song and hope to sing it soon!
My favorite line is: "sin has lost it's grip on me"

Lexie's Sunday School Promotion
Lexie has been in the same Sunday School class for the last 5 years. Ms. Sheila Hendley has been her teacher and she has done an outstanding job teaching God's Word. This last Sunday, Lexie was promoted to the Kindergarten class. Ms. Sheila gave Lexie a flower and a card. This was really special to Lexie. I am so proud of her and her love for God, the Church and Sunday School. I'm excited to see God's plan unfold for our little Lexie. God is already using her in amazing ways!
"Home's cool"
Today was Lexie's first day of Kindergarten and Leah's first day of Preschool. They were excited about all of their new school books and supplies. We started the day out with prayer, followed by calendar and weather time, then we started with the books; handwriting, art, phonics and math. That was today, tomorrow we'll switch some of the subjects and add some science. Leah is excited about science this year because it starts with Day 4 of Creation, when God created the planets. She wants to be an astronaut someday, among many other careers, and so she is very excited about science.
Enjoy the pics of their first day back to school!

My Little Brother is an Assistant Coach
I am so proud of my little brother, Harold. He'll be 20 this month, so he's really not so little anymore. But he is still my little brother.
He just recently took the responsibility of "Special Teams" football coach for our alma mater: Wayne County High School.
He is second from the left on the back row.
