Me and My Family

[see all me and my family]

Hello minti Friends,

Let me tell you a little about myself and my family. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 8 years. We have two children, Zach who is 6 years old and Avery Grace is 18 months! Zach is a very active little boy. He loves to play outside and digging in the dirt, but he also loves art and books. Zach was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 and 1/2 years old. He goes to a great school that provides all the services and special attention that he requires. We love his teachers and he loves school! His special needs certainly can be challenging, but we have an amazing support system. We are very lucky to have both of our families living close by. My daughter Avery is crazy (in an adorable I couldn't possibly love her any more kind of way!) She loves to laugh and ever since she started walking she is all over the place and always into something :) We built a house in the country a few years ago... and I LOVE it out here. We have two chocolate labs and four cats (as of right now... one of them is going to have kittens very soon!) We have a huge vegetable garden and a gorgeous view! I am the Director of Children's Ministries at a church in town. I love my job... working with the children and their parents and sharing God love and His message with them all. My job also allows me to bring my own children to work AND has flexible hours! What more could I ask for??? My husband has his own business and works from home, so we get a lot of family time :) I am very blessed!!! We love to go camping ...

Okay, so I didn't really go anywhere.  At least not for very long...  I haven't blogged in several months, but life just got in the way :)  I have been crazy busy, even more than usual!!!  I have missed chatting with everyone and sharing pics.  I have been promising to send Halloween pictures of my kids to my family and friends for a while now, so that is going to be my project this morning!

Zach caught a toad!!!

Comment Published at 17:3517:356 comments6 comments23 Visits23 VisitsReport

We had a very FUN and busy weekend...

       I took the kids to the lake

                      We went swimming in our new pool... a family sized blow up one :)

            The whole family traveled down to my sister-in-law's for a fish fry

   Avery and I went to church and I taught Sunday school

                        I played softball...  I am on a city league team with my Dad :)

                 AND Zach caught a toad!!!

I have started taking my camera everywhere...

Here are a few of my favorite new pics :)

Tornado Destruction

Comment Published at 17:1917:193 comments3 comments23 Visits23 VisitsReport

I have wanted to share these photos with you all for a while...

I took these the morning after the tornado...

The city spent all night and early morning clearing the streets of debris so that the emergency vehicles and personnel could get to everyone.  Luckily, no one was seriously injured in the tornado.  Many homes were destroyed and the very large and once beautiful trees were also destroyed.  It was so very sad to see all the destruction when the sun came up that morning...

I did visit the home of a dear friend who lived in the area that was hit the worst by the tornado, but I chose not to take my camera.  It was a newer housing development with very few trees, but the houses were leveled to the ground...

These photos are of the homes and trees on my parent's street...
