Glen Cove

I am so looking forward to this weekend. We will be going to a place called Glen Cove in the North Georgia mountains. It is a rustic cabin, right next to the waterfall I grew up playing in. I love this place. I will take pictures and try to post them when I get back. An added bonus is that Rosie Bea, our niece and goddaughter, will be coming up when John comes. We may freeze our hinies off, since there is no heat in the cabin besides a fireplace, but we will bring lots of blankets. It should be a very relaxing time.

Cutie Patootie

Matthew brought me a picture that he drew last night. It was a laptop made out of paper, with a video game on the screen. "That's great, Matt! I love it," I said. His response:"Yeah, it's awesome, and cool, too!"

Cousins

I am sitting, listening to Matthew and his cousin, Charlie, playing in th other room. Now, they are calm and seem to really be enjoying each other's company. Sometimes it's hard to have them play together. They want to compete over every little thing. But, they're 4. What else should I expect? Of course, they are doing much better with that than they did when they were 3. But even in the midst of them arguing, I try to remind myself that they are cousins, and what a blessing it is to have them living so close to us. It's wonderful to have family so close that I can just walk over to their house any time. The kids have someone to play with every day. I love where I live. God has truly blessed us.

My Precious Boy

I haven't said much about my Robby yet. He is such a wonderful, gentle, loving boy. Sometimes I worry that he won't stand up for himself, but when the time comes, he always surprises me. He seems to have alot of wisdom for a child of 8. In situations that have arrisen at school, he has responded in ways that make me extremely proud. Of course, he does need guidance sometimes, but he always seems to remember what we say when it's important. He is by no means perfect. None of us are. But God has given him a gentle spirit, and I pray that he will keep it and nurture it. Robby has even said that he thinks God might want him to be a priest. I think that's awesome! If, in fact, that is what God wants, that's great, but if it's not, that's great too. I'm just thrilled that he's considering what God wants at this early age. I'm so proud of you, Robby. I love you!
