We Made It!

This past weekend we completed our 60 mile walk. We began in Virginia and ended up in Washington DC this past weekend. The weather and scenery were just beautiful! (And I even survived camping in a little pink tent for two nights!) Thank you so much for supporting us with your donations and prayers.

Where we started from

This gives you a little idea of how the entire basement looked after we took all of the old sheetrock and wet carpet out.

We smile now everytime we go down into the basement.

Julie and I are looking forward to going on a cruise to celebrate our 25th Anniversary.

We leave on November 4th and we are soooo excited. We have never done anything like this before.

We love ya'll and look forward to seeing all of you again soon.

Happy 1st Birthday Laney!

I wanted to wish our sweet little Laney a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! John and I got to spend last weekend with her and she is such a happy, sweet little girl. We love you!

Here is a short tour of the basement

Everything you see has been painted, replaced, or tiled. It has all been prayed over and Julie and I are ready to call it finished. (I still need to put baseboards up the stairway, but we are not talking about that right now)

Julie and I really like the way it has turned out.

It only took 7 months so far.

It's About Time!

Well, Freeby and I have finally decided on a name for this sweet baby. His name is going to be Braden Samuel. (I think this is the way we are going to spell it.) As Mom said in the last post, he will be here sometime before Thanksgiving. I love my Dr. He said that we will induce Nov. 24th if he is not here yet. This baby is a little large like Cason was. Just in case you have forgotten, that is my dad's birthday. Wouldn't that be fun. Anyway, things are great and we are starting to think about emptying the attic of the baby things. I just wanted to update you all on the name and how things are going.
Randi

Cason, Randi and I had a great trip to see Tyrel and Taylor! Here are some pics of the beach right by their house. It was really good to be with them! Randi is doing so well with her pregnancy. This new little guy sure wiggles all the time and seems to be doing so great, so we're thankful! We look for him to arrive around Thanksgiving! Freeby is in the middle of a couple of cases that are keeping him busy! Taylor got a wonderful job at the hospital and Tyrel is going to be gone quite a bit this fall for special trainings. Mike and I are working hard and finding the days full! We are blessed!

I love all the postings on the blog! You guys always make me laugh!!! So, keep it up! When you have a minute, go to our very new website, www.sweeteststitches.com They'll be changes as we go, but you can at least see it for now... we're staying very busy with lots of orders- all word of mouth right now.

Much love to all!

A Great Visit

George and LaRue came by the office today and we had a great visit. They looked great. It is always a special day when they come by. They asked about all of you and they send their love.
