It seems that Google, that ominous granter of blogger privileges, has deemed us picture worthy ( for tonight at least). So, I am posing as Kitty, since I am currently signed in under her screen name. I will make an effort to briefly (is that possible?) update our blog a bit.
Right now we have the honor of hosting my sweet Mama for a week. Last week we had My Father and Mother, Jess, Amanda, and Abby! Daddy will be back soon to drive Mama home, but we are treasuring every moment with her until then! She is doing all the wonderful grandmotherly things - playing games, helping children learn, and discussing deep theological truths. Pictures of these visits to come ...when we find our camera cord
DISCLAIMER: I am just learning how to use "Blogger in Draft" so please forgive my lack of professional looking formatting.

WE'RE HERE MISSOURI!
As posted in our last (pictureless) update, after a wonderful time in Troy with the Covenant Family Church, we arrived safely in our new home.
Isn't this a crazy picture? No, not Kitty, (she's crazy I know). It looks like her arm was beamed into another room!

| Little Emma enjoyed having a "job list" for 2 days at least BACK TO FLORIDA WE GO! Wait a minute! We just got here! Back to Florida we go for business. But we soon realized that God had providentially brought us back "home" for many other reasons as well. |

| Little Man and an adoring fan (Hey! That Rhymes!) "We're gonna see Grandaddy and Grandmama!" | |||||||||||
A Meeting with local political candidates My father is actively engaging local candidates in discussions and has invited those in the community to come out and become involved | |||||||||||
| We were glad to be there to help out and attend this event! |
 |
| My father - excellent motivator! I'm so proud of him! |
 |
| Lovely hostess |
 |
| Good speech, Mr. Albritton A LOVELY TEA PARTY  This tea party wasn't a political one - It was a beautiful garden party hosted by the Stricklen girls. What a treat to be able to enjoy this event! |
 | |||
| A little wind can't stop us! A BABY'S BIRTH! Most importantly of all, the Lord gave me the opportunity to attend the birth of little Nathaniel Charles Stricklen!!! I prayed that the Lord would allow me to be able to be there and am amazed at His providential and creative hand in working out the details! | |||
 |
| Doesn't my sissie look beautiful after just having given birth!?! |
 |
| I can't tell you how thankful I was to the Lord that I could be there with my sister for my precious nephew's birth! |
 |
| Hey Buddy! We've got some bugs to catch. (At least that's what Paul was doing today) |
 |
| I LOVE THIS!!! |
 |
| AND THIS!!! STRAWBERRIES!!! We got back just in time for the strawberry upick and brought a bunch of them back for people up here and for us to freeze, make jam, and EAT. It was great! |
 |
| mmm...mmm... Is there anything more delicious? |
 |
Crazy man Ben...among other sweet friends, helped us pick 75 flats of these heavenly morsels Thanks, Sam! See, cowboys can pick strawberries with the best of 'em |
 |
| My wonderful friend Tracy and I exchange a "see you later" hug :) BACK IN MISSOURI |
 |
| We celebrate Jason's um...30 something birthday. Here he attempts to um ...stab his cake? |
 |
| Which Ashley and Kitty seem to find amusing |
 | |
| We attend Pride and Prejudice, produced by the Nisbett family, with a cast of homeschoolers. The quality was excellent! Paul really enjoyed this Jane Austen play...(yeah right) But the rest of us loved it! |
 |
| This guy was such a great "Mr. Collins"! We laughed so hard! |
 |
| Here we are at Panera Bread afterwards with the Willis family and the Neidnagels - I think we shook up the little "cafe style" Panera Bread set-up a little with our large crowd ;) We had a great time! THE WILLIS FAMILY COMES TO VISIT What a blessed time we had with the Willis family. The kids had a great time "tromping" and obviously took the camera because there are no pictures to prove that we adults were even there :) We had some wonderful fellowship and discussion - even though there aren't any pictures of it |
 |
| Peter always welcomes male fellowship - surrounded as he is by females |

| Havin' fun by the creek. Rose is loving being in there with the big kids Well...there's a little bit of what we've been up to this past month. More to come hopefully, but that depends on the great webmaster in cyberspace I guess. Posted by....you guessed it...Mama |
