6th: Huntsville Hospital Foundation is setting up an informational and donation booth at the game that night. The NICU nurses will serve as honorary captains for the coin toss.
Special Invitation: You are all invited to participate in any and or all of these events. The NICU is very special to me and my wife as our 5 month old daughter spent the first 52 days of her life there. We are so grateful for the nurses and doctors that made our stay as comforting as it could be in such a stressful time. We are excited about the opportunity to give back to such a great group of people.

Beach 2010
Once again, we are blessed as a family to vacation on the beautiful white sands of Ft. Walton Beach.... Once again, we are surrounded by friends and family... Once again, we are reminded of what's really important in life.... Our thoughts and prayers go out to the lives and livelihoods lost because of the BP oil spill...

CHRISTMAS 2009
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through OUR house, every creature was stirring, thanks to Jasper the cat.....
The stockings were still hanging, that's amazing in itself, but only because Jasper hadn't noticed them yet.
The children were visiting and their pets came with them, to share Christmas joy with all of their kin.
We'd all settled in to watch a movie or four, when to our surprise, came a knock at the door.
Then the children did settle in for a long winter's nap, at Nana's and Papaw's, to arrive home Christmas Morning as quick as a snap!
And much to their wandering eyes, Santa had left... gifts of Edward and Jacob in a new DVD game set!
Away to the TV, they flew like a flash, to start up a game of Hunky Vampire Monster Mash!
With determination, they played all through the day, each one vowing to win to the last stake...
Only one can be crowned the official Twilight guru, today it's big sister, tomorrow twil be you....
On Jerry, on Harriette, on Kaitlynn, and Emma, we're off to Nana's and Papaw's for Christmas Dinner!
To the couch, to the chairs, each grandchild is seated, texting away until Papaw proclaims, "Let's Eat!"
There's always one Aunt in the crowd that's for sure, that still wants to be a teenager like many years before...
Oh, Emma, please give me your hat for a minute, I won't keep it for long or do anything with it!
I just want to wear it for old times' sake.... to remind me of my younger years when I was your age!
'Twas time for the reading of the Christmas story, straight from God's word, Luke 2:1-20, for all ears to be heard....
And just before leaving for each one's home, the traditional picture is attempted to be done.
After several attempts to calm the group down, Nana and Papaw step in, and they act like clowns!
Words cannot express how blessed we feel, as we're gathered together at this time of year.

My Brother and Me
"Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, LOVE AS BROTHERS, be COMPASSIONATE and humble." 1 Peter 3:8
As the holidays draw near, we are blessed to have a special visitor every year..... my husband's brother, James. The week is filled with laughter, for Jerry never misses an opportunity to crack a joke... nor does he miss an opportunity to remind his older brother of his special "youngest" brother status in the family! This is a time that is cherished by our whole family, as we get to share in their memories of the important things in life..... love, sharing, and family....

Reason, Season, Lifetime
"A Reason A Season and A Lifetime"
© author unknown.
People always come into you life for a reason, a season and a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, or to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend to you, and they are. They are there for a reason, you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, Sometimes they just walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall, the season eventually ends.
Lifetime, relationships teach you a lifetime of lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a slid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
