Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's DAY!!! We have been celebrating for several days, and topped it off with a Valentine's breakfast this morning. We hope you all have a wonderful day, and enjoy being with the people you LOVE!

This is CT's Valentine card this year. We printed them as a 4X6 photo, and cut them in half. They turned out really cute.

T's Mema

January 27,2009. I am very late in writing this, but we have had so much going on that I just haven't had time. Three days after the Bird passed away, T's sweet Mema also left this earth and stepped into eternity. We knew it was coming, but two deaths in one week was a little hard. She was such a precious mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was a lady of strong conviction who loved her Lord, and spent many years serving him. She loved her family, and was a ton of fun to be around.  She will be truly missed! T was able to do both funerals. He did such a good job. I know his Mema would have been proud!
