Isn't God awesome?!?
It's cold...Bailey froze picking Macy up from school. Izzy shakes for quite a while after going out. We have been home from school for an hour and Macy still has her jacket on. Izzy is now dressed in her fall sweater. She is pretty cute.
Yesterday did get better after my run in with the law. We had a good dinner with Lauren, Cecil and Patti at the Lean-To. It is not ever a calm dinner with Macy and Bailey around. After dinner we went to church. Church was different because of the return of our soldier Joey. Joey has been gone to Iraq for the last year. He got home Monday. Joey is a great guy. I think a whole lot of his mom and dad. In their unit they only lost one guy. He was Joey's best friend. God has played a hand in Joey's last year. He has had everyone at our church praying for him, none as much as our daughter Bailey. She would cry and tell me how much she missed Joey. She jumped into his arms and kissed him so big last night. She is his biggest fan. Joey got a 2 week leave back in August. He was preparing to come home when his friend was killed. If Joey hadn't been coming home when he did, he would have most likely been with him. Isn't God awesome?!? When Joey left he hung up a yellow ribbon at the church building. It has been there for a whole year. On Monday it was raining and very windy. Late Monday afternoon, God blew Joey's ribbon away. It is like God knew he was home and could take the ribbon away. Isn't God awesome?1?
Macy received her first report card of the year today. She had a 100, 99, 101, and 100. She is so smart. We are very proud. Today was the 1st grade grandparents brunch. Granny, D and Pepaw went to eat with Macy. She was happy that they got to come.
We have a nice relaxing weekend with no major plans. We are going to try to see Flicka and go out to eat with the Mays to celebrate Patti's birthday. Happy Birthday Patti!!! My parents want to eat breakfast at McDonald's Saturday morning to see the girls. Then we have church on Sunday.

Macy takes after her Daddy.
Whatever???!!!
I dunno who takes after who...but yay for Macy!
Great story about Joey ... brought a tear to my eyes.
Also... last time we were at your house there was snow and ice all over and it was a slippery adventure just to get inside. Once inside the warmth of your friendship, good food, guitar picking, and meeting the new pug made for a memorable night. We are grateful, still, for your hospitaility and love.
