Spring Break 2009

Ande Reaux at 2 months
Spring yard work---I love our new fountain.

Sheet Rockin' KING!


Collin --15 !!



Now to the one who can do infinitely more than all we can ask or imagine according to the power that is working among us- Eph. 3:20

I just love Ephesians. Many of my favorite scriptures come from this book in the Bible. Faith, perserverance, "leaning on the promises of God"...... The older I get, the easier it is for me to LET GO AND LET GOD. I used to make such a mess of things before I would turn it over to God.

We are at peace with whatever will happen with Jerry's job and the outlook for the future. Thank you for continued thoughts and prayers. God is good.

Jerry was able to be off Tuesday-Friday this week and was very busy sheet rocking our garage. This has been a project we had wanted to conquer for about 2 years. And, conquer he did! I helped with cutting the odd pieces and even learned a thing or two about sheet rocking. No, I don't want to do it fulltime! Now comes the tape & floating, texturing and painting. Lots of stages to get this project down.

Collin and I have been off for a week for a very early Spring Break. Monday and Tuesday were amazingly BEE-autiful and then Wednesday through today have been cold, raining and very gray. I got alot of window cleaning, yard work, and outside projects completed for the first few days. I have discovered that here in Southeast Texas...mildew grows on EVERYTHING through the winter months. We invested in 3 gallons of chlorox and I "went to to town" spraying down things, rinsing things and windexing. Jerry came home from work that evening and said "sure smells clean out there :)".

We enjoyed lunch with my parents and sister & brother in law on Wednesday. It's been since Christmas that we were able to get together. Lunch was great with fried catfish at a local restaurant and mom made her wonderful chocolate cake with cooked frosting. Yum Yum

Collin turned 1-5 ....yes 15! on Saturday! He has read his driver's ed book and even completed 14 worksheets to prepare for his permit test. I'M his home instructor; and the teacher in me produced a workbook for him. (from his point of view...grumble, grumble....) But, he has learned quite a bit and I feel better about signing my name to a notarized document. I'm a dork about some things...and a stickler to rules. He had some friends over last night for pizza and major JUNK food. It's great to hear them having a good time!

Ande Reaux is now 2 months old. She's been to the vet for her first round of shots. She has grown SO MUCH! She went to the vet on March 6 and weighed 16 lbs. and on March 9 she weighed 20 lbs.!!!!!! The vet said she would be a big girl and we are believers!
