Today was a great day!! We woke up this morning to a little bit of snow! It didn't last long and it didn't stick but whenever it snows on the Outer Banks it's a celebration. You can see just a little bit on the trampoline. We had a great day at church today too. Rick shared a message on the Sanctity of Human Life. He used a lot of material from the story of his new grand-daughter. It was a real "hanky blowing time". Here is a Psalm that I like. It reminds me of my advice to Lauren's boy friend and my son-in-law: Work hard and never lie.
Psalm 15: 1 LORD, who can dwell in Your tent? Who can live on Your holy mountain?
2 The one who lives honestly, practices righteousness, and acknowledges the truth in his heart 3 who does not slander with his tongue, who does not harm his friend or discredit his neighbor, 4 who despises the one rejected by the LORD, but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his word whatever the cost, 5 who does not lend his money at interest or take a bribe against the innocent the one who does these things will never be moved.

Happy Birthday to Lauren!!!!

Last night and today we celebrated Lauren's birthday! She turned 19 today. Last night we went to the Jolly Roger restaurant. Lauren got her favorite, Seafood Lasagna (are we seeing a theme here). Lauren was born on Inauguration Day. We got to watch the Inauguration of George Bush just after she was born in the hospital room. It was a special day! I was never able to be in the delivery room with the first two girls.
