Mother's Day Weekend (better late than never )

I had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend...

Mom and Gabby and I went to the Mother's Day Luncheon at our church (this has been a tradition since the early 90's)

On Sunday...

We had the family over for a brunch which was very fun and yummy!

Gabby picked out the perfect gifts for me...the perfect pink shirt and a Starbucks card and the dogs got me my traditional fuchsias for my front porch.

Then Sunday evening we went to Teresa's sister Terri's to meet her new niece whom had just arrived from China the day before.

Me and My Sweetie...

I'm thankful for my wonderful husband! This picture was taken of us this morning at church.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

As we get ready to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus this Sunday this song keeps goin through my head.

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkens you see?
There's light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Refrain
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O'er us sin no more hath dominion -
For more than conquerors we are!

His Word shall not fail you-He promise;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

This is my prayer for us and all of you.

Christma and the new year

We went to Teresa's brother's on Christmas Eve. We had a lot of fun watching the kids and eating the very yummy prime rib dinner that Steve made.

On Christmas Day we started out at home having our own celebration and then went to Scott's folks house to celebrate with them and Scott's sister Carol. We ate lots of yummy food that day as well.

New Years was pretty low key. Gabby went over to the church and rang in the new year with friends there, while Scott and Teresa stayed home and relaxed.

On the 2nd of January we replaced our old accord which Scott had been using for his commute and it was really hurting his back.

Then on the 4th we all went back to our normal schedules of work and school.
