Reanna and Savanna turn 2

Today we traveled to Point Blank, Texas (which is on the lake, mid-way between Huntsville and Livingston....TEXAS, that is, not Alabama. We also have a Jasper, Texas nearby too. However, we are a long, long way down that yellow brick road from these towns in Alabama!)
We were there to help celebrate the second birthday of two very special little girls, Reanna and Savanna. It doesn't seem possible that they are already two years old.

Allan, (with a little help from "Uncle Jim" and a few others) boiled crawfish, shrimp, and sausages with potatoes and corn. Delicious!

We also have to give Darla credit for a wonderful peach cheesecake! Everyone went back for seconds (and some even thirds!).

We promised the girls that as soon as Aubrey and Lainey were big enough that we would plan a special play date together.

The hardest thing about leaving Texas will be that we will not be able to see these precious girls as often. THEY are the best thing about living in Texas!

Below is a new friend we met at the party, Mark. Mark is "from UP north"....a Yankee. He was visiting to get away from the 20+ inches of snow! He enjoyed eating his lunch in "the good ole Southern sun!" (He also mentioned several imaginary friends surrounding him, but we didn't see them!)

Thanks to everyone............

Thanks to everyone for making our weekend in Alabama so special. Dan and Krisha are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family! The baby shower given on Saturday at Holley's house and the one on Sunday at the Cleveland Church of Christ were amazing!!!! Aubrey and Lainey received so many beautiful, precious gifts.

Since the day we were told Krisha was pregnant, I have prayed that God would watch over the babies as they developed and also for Krisha to have a safe and comfortable pregnancy. However, I have added a sentence to that daily prayer........."Thank you, God. Thank you for the "village" of wonderful people that you have surrounded Dan and Krisha with as these two precious little girls are born and grow up." There are so many wonderful people to share in this amazing time with us! We thank God for each of you!

Jim and Dan worked Saturday getting the RV set up and ready. A BIG thanks goes out to Sherry for supervising them and getting things done correctly! (Sherry, you know they could not have gotten it level without your expertise! We LOVE you!)

Also, it was very nice to finally get to meet so many of my "blogging" friends over the weekend. I won't start naming names, because I don't want to leave anyone out, but, you know who you are.

So, now we are just waiting for the call from Krisha that it is time!!!!

Only 88 more days...........

When Dan and Krisha first told us they were expecting, we thought that June 15 would never arrive for us. However, the countdown shows only 88 more days to go!
For those of you that don't already know, we have purchased a 5th-wheel RV to set-up on a lot beside Dan and Krisha's house. We will be taking the RV (aka: Eli's Cabin) this weekend for Dan and Jim to set-up while Krisha and I are having fun at two of her baby showers.
Once Krisha decides that it is "time" for her mother to be close by as the twins arrival grows closer, Eli and I will return to Alabama to live in the Cabin. (I don't think that Dan could handle two women with OCD in the same house!)
Everything has fallen into place for the twins arrival so far. We continue to pray that the remaining 88 days will go as smoothly. Please keep all of us in your prayers, especially Aubrey, Lainey, and Krisha.
