Snow Days

Well - I'm back to work after being gone for two days. We had ice/sleet on Monday night followed by about 6 inches of snow on Tuesday. The snow was beautiful but the roads not so much. We ventured out yesterday to Fair Grove and today made it to work. The weekend is suppose to bring some warmer weather so this will melt off. I have a new great-niece. Teaghan Rayne was born on 1/27 weighing in at 8 lbs 8 oz. Mom and baby are doing good - should be coming home today. Can't wait to see and hold her. I'll post a picture as soon as I get one. Well - enough for today. Edie

Jeremiah, Kasey & Mabry

This is my son, Jeremiah, his beautiful wife, Kasey and newborn daughter, Mabry. What a wonderful picture. Jeremiah & Kasey are going to be great parents. They are trusting God to lead their family and am faithful to him. Mabry was born on December 23 and we were able to be there for her birth. Jeremiah, Kasey and Mabry live in Keller, TX and we miss them alot. Mabry is currently in the hospital recovering from a staph infection. She has had a difficult first two weeks of her life but she is recovering and hopefully will be home in about a week. Please pray for her recovery and for rest for Jeremiah & Kasey.
