This is just a post to let y'all know I wont be writing on here till March. (not that I've really been writing on here very much of late anyway )  My Dad asked us to take a break from unnecessary computer/internet activity and this would qualify.  I'll try and keep in touch as best I can.  So........until next month, may you all have a lovely February and a Happy Valentines Day!!!  (remember 1 John 4:7-8)

Rainbows...............

         The world of innocence is a colorful one.  A child's perspective is

          like "optimism in a bottle"......... It makes the sky look bluer, the

          flowers seem.......... brighter, and a rainbow feel like God painted

          it just for you.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their Dreams.

I actually meant to post this the other day.  Here is our family Christmas Picture.

                       (LtoR) in the very back is Daniel, third row is: Elizabeth, Mom, and Richy. 

                      second row: Caleb, Faith, Dad, and Anna. first row: Laura, Bethany, and Me.

I trust everyone of you had a lovely Christmas!  Ours was very blessed, I have so much to be thankful for!!

Here is a little something my sister Bethany said at the dinner table the other night, I thought it was too cute.

I don't remember exactly our conversation, I think someone had made a comment about never seeing family on

Christmas and my Dad said that when we're all married he would come visit us for Christmas.  So then we were

talking a little about getting married and names and something, maybe the boys said something about not getting

married, who knows??  Anyway,  Bethany(10 years old) who was sitting next to me pipes up and says, "don't worry Dad!  I'll

carry on the family name!!"  And I looked at her and said "No you wont".   and she looks at me with this thoughtful

look on her face and says, "Oh yeah!  I will if I marry a Smith though!   (she gives me this kind of conspiring look) 

And I've been looking in the phone book!!"  Then she gives me this big smile and winks at me!  It was just too funny!!

I just laughed, oh well......maybe you had to be there.   Well that's my story. Everyone take care and God Bless!!
