Vaguely remember this but I always enjoy thinking about it. My Granddaddy had us all in a church bus driving around giving out presents to children. Again, I remember this very vaguely! Almost feel like I dreamed about it instead. But whether it actually happened or not, it has become a favorite holiday pastime for me. :)

First week in Michigan



We are in Roseville, MI living in a mission house owned by Cornerstone Baptist Church. Thankfully for that opportunity. They are allowing us to stay here for 6 months. Here are the pictures.

Jenny's birthday & last weekend in Nashville



Our last weekend in Nashville, my family (Mom, Luke, Camille, Wyatt, Grace, Dad, Carol & Gabriel) came to see us before we moved to MI. We also got to see Grandmother, Mamaw, Aunt Tressella, Heather & Karson for a short while. They were in town for MOPS convention. It was also my birthday weekend as well. It was so sad when they had to go home. I'm missing everyone back home!

A group of people from BBDC came to help Chris load into the truck. Kids & I went to Sims' house to play. It was nice and the kids got to play with the Sims kids once more. It was sad when it was time for us to go.

In all, it was bittersweet.

McLinky

There’s a great new “linky” service available and I wanted to let you know about it. It’s called MckLinky – www.mcklinky.com. After realizing the need for a new, reliable linky capability, Brent Riggs and MckMama got together to create a free, easy to use linky service for all their blog friends.

Please remember this, it's all new to me!!!
