A Quick Review

Let's see....

First, as far as Alice's face-plant, it looks like there was additional bleeding in one of her front teeth. It is not something that can be repaired, so we'll see how it progresses and decide whether to do something cosmetically or not. She did get her root canal done, so that was a good thing - in theory of course.

Alice has been in Florida most of this week and returns "today". It is the annual builder's conference. So hopefully she will come back with some great ideas on how to sell houses, because they need to sell houses.

We have not had any movement on our house in Lubbock. We did have the painter in again and do the master bedroom and the master bathroom. So perhaps that might jog some folks loose. The new person next door has expressed an interest from a rental property standpoint, so that is encouraging. We may do some flooring, since many people do not seem attracted to stained concrete, or simply re-stain what is there. Not sure yet.

My mom is doing okay with her leg problem. She has restricted arteries in one leg and it causes a great deal of pain to walk for an extended period. The doctors have her on medication and a walking regimen to increase blood flow to that area. The intent is to avoid surgery. The concern her is not so much the blockage, although that is a concern, but that this could sideline mom and she does not do well on the sidelines. She is very active and wants to remain active. She has been doing the walking although it causes a great deal of pain. So I worry about her.

Paul and his family are moving this weekend to McKinney, TX. Not far, but closer to Autumns new office. They have a "new" house there and of course the kids will need to change schools mid-year. This is a challenge for everyone so please pray for the kiddos especially. A new "family", new schools, new home all within a very short period. Kids can be resilient, however, these kinds of transitions in a relatively short period must be challenging for them. Also keep Autumn in your prayers as she continues with her pregnancy of Trysten Paul due later this Spring.

From what Heather tells me, Shad and his girlfriend Elizabeth, will be making a trip to England in May. Of course, I don't hear anything from him, and it has been that way for almost three years now. I did get one email, but that was a unique communication. He is doing well in his rehab efforts and from what a saw from a picture on Heather's blog, looks very good. So we are pleased about that.

Penni is doing well and making tremendous progress on her new CD. Just a couple more songs to go and she'll have it done. She is excited about the support she is receiving from major music names in Nashville and other areas, so it all sounds very promising. The girls are doing well and of course, Jenna is headed in to her softball season.

I am hoping to get pictures from everyone soon. Of course, for Heather and the boys, you can visit their blog through a link on this site. Often, they have so much to tell and so many great pictures and video, it's beyond my technical skills to move them over here. As you have seen from previous attempts. :)

Finally, we are getting close to finding a church home. We will have a "dinner with the pastor" this evening and hopefully, that will seal the deal and we'll make the move in tomorrow's service. The church is Lee Park Baptist Church and the pastor, at least until April, is also a local news anchor for a major station in Charlotte. I must tell you, it is a bit odd seeing your pastor behind an news desk during the Six O'Clock news each evening. Nevertheless, we are excited about the prospects. :) :)

Well, I hope, if you are reading this you are well and happy. God Bless!
