Happy Birthday Paula!!!

It's 2007, and already the THIRD day! Wow! okay...today I am wishing a Happy Birthday to my sister-n-law Paula! I hope you have a very happy happy year! (next year we will have to really celebrate, cause we'll both be the big "_0"! :) {aren't you excited!}

and, I want to share some pics of my weekend...

No , not lipstick on my little girl, it's Chocolate...her BEST FRIEND!!!

Natalie is teaching Kris (family friend)how to feed a baby...she's an expert folks!

Here Natalie and Dad are blowing some bubbles "blowing away the old year, and wishing on a new one!"

Need-less to say, we had a great time at the cabin this weekend! Only one persons (and his family) complete absense kept it from being the perfect that it should have been, and that was my little brother and his family. It was their choice not to be there though. They were invited, and greatly missed. So, Andrew, Amanda, if you are reading this, we missed you all!

However, the weekend was PERFECT as could be! :) Enjoyed it so much! Thanks Mom and Dad for that opportunity!

Today I am thankful for:

1. a Great time at the Lake with family and friends.

2. The awesome game of Password we all played. Kept us up and on our toes until 3:00a.m.

3. Natalie having so much fun too!

4. Tina, who kept a check on Gizmo while we were gone for two days! Thanks Tina! we love you!

5. For my family!

6. Today being Paula's birthday! She's a very awesome sister-in-law! She's got the love of God in her, and it show's to everyone she meets! (Paula ...if you are reading...we have to go see the Casting Crowns again! :)

7. Litterally taking 30 minutes of ME time right now!

8. Considerations and prospective thoughts on doing my internship. ( I have to jump one hurdle...of taking the GRE, and if I am going to, I have to get done QUICKLY!)

9. My doctor's appointment going well Tuesday. I have the BEST doctor out there I think! All is well with baby, and no, still name! Will let you know, as soon as I know! (maybe!)

10. My Dad who gave an awesome sermon last week at my church...especially for never having visited me at our church before! Very impromptu! (they called him back for next week...as Bro. Jim is still in the hospital! )

*please continue to keep him in your prayers, as he recovers from this very rude illness he's got.
