Well congratulations you two! I'd say it was very much deserved after seeing all the pictures on your site for so long. I just wish you lived closer so you could take pictures of my grandbabies.

BTW, how is your grandson?

Blessings!
Paula

Oh Paula that would be so awesome if we could. You love in TX right? I have a real desire to visit Austin/San Antonio someday. There is a church there that I am following on line for bible study and I just would love to experience their church. Where are you?

Kenny...you are so funny. We are at a loss as to who all voted for us!n We voted for Chris and he voted for us but that is all I know about it. lol. SO many more deserving people should be there than us. So we are tickled but mostly just out of curiousness. :giggle:
