WHAT A WHIRLWIND MONTH!!!!!!

We enjoyed Easter with Joe’s family and had a second baby shower. It is always fun to get together with this side of the family. Since they live in Greeley, we do not get to see as much of each other as I would like.

It had better be a girl!!

See Joe, I told you I could get you to smile.

It was a great day.

Some of us remember him when he was a little kid.......

Below is an email we received from some wonderful friends. Their son's decision speaks volumes for the values instilled in this young man by his parents. Please keep them all in your prayers.

Down in Texas at Ft. Hood this weekend to see our son, Eric, off to Iraq. He's a 2nd Lt., platoon leader in the C-company, 1-66 armor battalion, 1st brigade, 4th Infantry Division.

Schedule Saturday (March 8, 2008) was as follows:

0300 (that's 3:00 am for you civilians) - take son on base to get weapons
0400 - son joins family in gym
0600 - say goodbye's, they're on the bus
0900 - wheels up, in the air
???? - boots on the ground in Kuwait.
2 weeks in Kuwait, then into Baghdad for a 15 month tour.

thoughts/prayers/positive vibes appreciated.

IF THIS DOES NOT MAKE YOU LAUGH, NOTHING WILL

Pastor's Business Card

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10." Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked."

Remember when the funniest jokes were the clean ones? They still are!
"A cheerful heart is good medicine" (Prov. 17:22)

BABY SHOWERS ARE FUN !

Today was not just fun, it was wonderful!

This morning greeted us with at least 2-4 inches of snow in various parts of the city, which kept some of our guests home. We really missed those of you that could not make. But, you missed a great party!

Big sisters get
presents too!!
Look Riley, someone your size!! Her name is Chloe.

Thank you Joyce for the use of your lovely
home and all the goodies you provided. Despite
the cake issues, which you notice is not shown
here, the cake was enjoyed by all. We know that you have had a busy week, and yet you did this for Shannon. You are a special lady.

Thank you Grandma Pat for your special recipes. I look forward to receiving them from you, and trying them out on my friends or church. I was very special to finally have met you.

A special thank you to Blaine for
