Cathy, you look great and I'm sure you're really glad that you have not had to stay in bed. I know that time would drag if you had to lie around.

Hey, Bertha, it's not the best picture of Dad that I've ever seen, but thinks for sharing. I do guess I'll be taking Easter week off also. Michelle, her sister, mother and aunt are going to Las Vegas and Chris, Christopher and Mandi are coming for the week. Cortlyn is going to Macon to visit a friend. Howie and his family are coming on Friday before Easter and going home on Tuesday. Since my boss took three weeks off end of Dec and beginning of Jan and is now gone for another three weeks, I think I can take that week off.

Gene and I are going to Hickory tomorrow to see Howie in his musical. We'll be back on Sunday.

HI

Thought that I share this photo of Dad. It was taken Jan 20th.

Cathy, glad that you're still so mobile! I guess that bed is just too hard to get out of! How's Jeremy?

Ben, glad that you're sharing your thoughts with us!

Hope all is well with everyone else. Work is hectic now. Change happens all the time and we just have to deal. I guess that's why my neck is stiff lately - stress! But we all have it, I guess. Rick's dad is better, not quite back to his old self, but better. Nanny's had shingles and a bad case of "It's the worst thing I've ever had!!!!!!!!" Of course, that is what she says with every cold, bump, & sniffle. It's hard to know when to react - it's like the little boy who yells wolf! It's amazing what a visit can cure.

I'm looking forward to my week off at Easter and I'm sorry that you all don't get off, how about you Howie?

See ya!

rambling

I have hesitated to blog this, because I am afraid as soon as I do that I will go into labor...We have set a date for their birthday. If we make it, then their birthday will be March 11. The babies are still doing great according to my doctors. I would say I'm doing great myself...no permanent bed rest & still able to work. The bed is actually my most dreaded place to be right now. Thank you for all the prayers.

My picture is from a week ago(35 weeks pregnant).

We got home tonight from a nice visit with Chris and his family this weekend. The girls stayed in the hotel with Gene and I and enjoyed going for the breakfast with us. Cortlyn and Mandi both picked up new glasses yesterday. Mandi is so funny; she is so excited about being able to wear glasses. She only needs them for distance, but loves wearing them. I'm not sure whether Cortlyn needs her for only distance or not. We all went to see The Water Horse yesterday. It was cute and we all had popcorm of course. Chris and Michelle has found a church they like. It is amazing. They have three Sunday morning services, 8:30am, 10 am and 11 am. They have a gym; have dance classes, fitness classes and all sorts of things going on. We went to the 11 am service. I told Gene I thought they have almost as many members in the choir as we do in our entire congregation. Ours is not quite that bad, but they had at least 30 people in the choir. I think their church seats twice as many people as ours does.
It's a Methodist church. Sometimes, you wonder how some churchs flurish and others seem to have a hard time. Don't know the answer. We have a young pastor who has tried really hard to get things going and we have grown some. It seems that we get so many families who are military and of course military get transferred.
