Changed My Mind

The Whole Crew

I came to the blog today to close it down. Life is so hectic and I have not posted in over a month. I was feeling the pressure to post or close it. I started not to even look at it and just hit the "hide" button, but then I opened it and scrolled over the posts. As I looked back over the past year and a half, I could see so much of our family's journey. Even though I also write in a personal journal, there are no pictures there and the writings are of a different nature. I have decided not to hit the "hide" button just yet because I want to write and I like having this area to write and post pictures for myself.
There is no way I can catch up on the last 6 weeks and I will not attempt to do so. Erin has written her story down beautifully on her blog. You can hit the link on the right hand side of this page if you would like to see what God has done in the life of Erin, Bryce and Kyah. I will just begin anew and pick up form the present.

Meet Kyah, our newest grandson. His entry into this world was little rough to say the least, but he is here whole and health, all 10 lbs. of him! He's beautiful and wonderful, and the best part is he lives less than a mile from me. I have so missed seeing my other grandchildren grow!

Sadie Jane Scott should be joining our family mid-November. According to Bethany she is feisty already. We look forward to meeting her too.
Connor has started kindergarten, Alyssa turned 4, and the twins Ashlynn and Kylee are busier than ever.
Keegan and I are so blessed and we give all glory to God for His tender care of our little family.

Grandchildren are fun!

The Twins celebrated their first birthday while we were in Lubbock this weekend and we had a small at home birthday party for them. Before the party we had a photo op session. Ashlynn is in the turquoise and Kylee is in the green (birthday presents from their Aunt Bethany).




The picture below is an accurate picture of the frequent interaction between the older and the younger siblings. We never got a picture of the foursome better than this one!

This is Connor's first year to play tee-ball. Naturally we think he has a pro career, but his coach may think differently!

We are blessed to have four wonderful grandchildren
and to be able to see them as often as we do.

It's a 100 degrees in Lubbock in June!

Noon is not the best time to be at the park and try to take a family picture.

It's definitely time to find something cooler to do

Swimming lessons for the twins at the Tech pool feels good to 4 of us.

Not everyone got to go to the Tech pool for swimming lessons, but everyone got to cool off.

Smiles reign again.
