Since we’ve lived in NC we have been able to watch Tyler and Chelsea grow up – literally. Tyler’s going on 20 and Chels is going to be 18 – it’s crazy!! I have a picture of both of them from my wedding and they were 10 and 12! Talk about cute! 
Now they’re both so grown up – they’re both mature (for the most part! 
) Christians who want to serve God and everyone around them. Last night Chelsea babysat for me for my birthday – today Tyler came by to chat with Uriah – I’m just really impressed with how they’ve turned out and we’re really thankful they’re both in our lives.
As far as the house goes …..my house ALWAYS feels like a disaster. I can’t seem to keep anything clean with the remodeling going on. Oh well – it’ll be worth it in the end. Thankfully Dave and Connie are coming to help out!! I couldn’t be more thankful for that!
Today I’m especially thankful for my church and my elders. They have NEVER ending patience with us – with everyone in the church – the kindness, generosity, love and compassion they have exhibited is really amazing! I especially love the humor they add to everything – somehow they always find a way to be cheerful and to laugh. We are so blessed!!
