I got nothing!

That is exactly how I feel- "I got nothing". Nothing to say or do that can make anything better. Just have to keep going praying that God's peace will envelop all of us effected by the past week's events. Thank you to all who have been praying for us. Please continue to pray for the upcoming days, weeks, months, years.

For those who don't know- my 13 year old niece Morgan was tragically killed last Friday evening when her dirtbike struck an SUV. (see the post below) Please also continue to pray for the driver and passenger in the SUV as they are not doing well at all.

Here are some random pics taken over the last couple of weeks to hopefully brighten the mood of this post.

Forever Loved

We miss you so much already. Thank you for all the wonderful memories! We love you and can't wait to see you again someday!!!

Miss Me -- But Let Me Go
Unknown
When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little--but not too long And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me--but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss Me--But Let me Go!

Easter 2009

We had a good weekend- despite the rain today. We were bummed that we couldn't hide eggs and then take pictures outside but oh well....

She always has such a serious look of concentration!

Peyton is getting so big!

The girls. Peyton gives her this look frequently :)

Finally- the good stuff

Can we just go to Bible Class already???

We went to my parents' house on Saturday. All of my immediate family was there (except for one SIL- we missed you Sharon!) and we had such a great day. The weather was wonderful, we dyed eggs, and of course ate a great lunch.

My niece Morgan is so good to play outside with Rylee. Funny how she never wants to ride in a stroller when we're shopping but she will ride for an hour with Morgan pushing her.

Rylee also enjoyed playing ball with Morgan and my other niece Macy.
DeQueen, where my parents live, got hit by the storms Thursday. My brother took me to look at some of the damage. It was awful and it doesn't even compare to what happened up the road in Mena. My parents and grandparents got hit but thankfully not much damage was done.
This is my parents' neighbors' shed. One of my parents' trees and two of their trees fell on it. And look at that tree that is broken in two. These are not small trees either!

This tree is right outside my parents' bedroom window. Half of it snapped off but thankfully the wind was blowing the other way and it didn't land on their roof.

Hope everyone had a blessed Easter weekend!

"ME"

"God made the big round sun. God made the tall tall trees. God made the birds that fly, and God made........................ME" Rylee loves this song and always begs for "more". In fact on our Spring Break trip she went around babbling/humming for a few seconds and then would yell "ME" loudly. It's so funny because she never lets you get to the actual end before she starts yelling "me" repeatedly. So cute. Love her!

This is the "me" part. Most of the time she uses both hands though.
