PLEASE PRAY

My family needs some pray warriors right now. Today's going to be tough. I need prayer for my dad. For a few months now he's been having trouble swallowing his food and went to the doctor a few days ago. They did an endoscopy (which is putting a probe down his esophagus to look at it). Apparently it's very abnormal and they took a biopsy and we're supposed to get the results today. Please pray they do not find cancer or anything serious. Please pray that whatever is wrong can be fixed simply. His name's Dave Robertson. He's only 62 and has so many more years to experience. I know there will be a time in our lives when we have to bury our parents....I'm just not ready to do that yet. I'll keep you updated. I can't get rid of sad thoughts, anxiousness, and worry. It's 3:45 A.M. and there won't be any more sleep tonight. Thank you so much for your prayers to come. I know the ultimate Healer will take care of Him. I just not ready to say goodbye yet.

A Weekend of Celebrations

We've had an eventful weekend. On Saturday night, our friend Kate Lovelace got married. Some of you may remember her from North Georgia. Kate and I went to church together and were in the youth group. The wedding was beautiful....the dress....the ceremony....the flowers. Everything! Sadly I didn't take a picture of her. I'm kicking myself for it now. It was great to catch up with old friends from church. Then on Sunday.....Mrs. Mary Catherine had her 1st baby shower! Yippeee! She's 30 weeks now and looks beautiful. MC got tons of great gifts. We can't wait to meet the little guy!!







It was great to see Caroline!






She got lots of great stuff! Everything a little boy needs!



I had to put this pic up. As I was writing my blog, I heard the sound my dog, Chloe, makes when she stretches. I looked around, but no Chloe to be seen. Then....I thought...hmmm. I look under the couch we have in our office and this is all I could see. Her cute little nose and paw sticking out! It made me laugh. She sure is creative when she wants some privacy!

Happy Birthday to Kai

Today is Kai's birthday! He's the big 3-0!! We had a party at the Bassett abode on Saturday to celebrate his big day. Give him a call and wish a happy birthday!!




Feeling a little bummed about being 30!



But quickly got over it after seeing the cool XBOX cake Lisa, Casey, and myself made for him.



Complete with controllers and everything!!



We had a great time grilling hamburgers and playing games.














Kai even got a Super Soaker from Brooke!



Time to dig in!!



Even Meg got to join in on the eating festivities!



He's totally stoked in his birthday hat!!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun...

I just got back from a girls beach vacation. We went to St. Augustine. What a beautiful place. It was perfect weather, warm sun, cool breeze, salty air. What more could a girl ask for. I got to catch up with my dear friends Brooke, Valerie, and Mary Catherine. We had some great conversations, hard stomach hurting laughter, and quiet relaxation. We took Casey's GPS, Dora the Explora, to help us on our journey down under. We she was "helping" us find our condo she made us pull into a Dentist office...and just like Michael on "The Office" Dora made us turn into a dental store (as Val calls it)!! I'm just thankful it wasn't a lake! We also celebrated Brooke's birthday while we were down there. We gave her a little surprise party. Check out the pics!




Isn't MC cute preggers? We went for a walk on the beach our last night.



MC icing Brooke's cake....baby boy Tritt needed some chocolate. Of course....she didn't eat any though!




Brooke and her surprise party!




She got REALLY great gifts!!



Chillin' at the beach...in the shade of course!





We went to some really good seafood restaurants. One was Saltwater Cowboys. Yum!



Here's Saltwater Cowboys...I thought it was a really cool setting!



Getting ready for a night out!

Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. We had great fun with some friends playing tennis (our new fav sport), swimming, cooking tons of food, going to a Braves game, and just relaxing. On Friday night we got to see Eric and Jennifer at the Braves game. It was a major mutilation...when we left the score was 10-1. Yikes! Then we went to the Basset abode for severals days of packed in fun. During our grilling escapades we caught the grill on fire 3 times!! Well...we're learning. Here are some pics!

Chloe enjoying the mile-long ride to Grandma's!!

Casey's REALLY excited about the Braves Game!



The Colsons!




We're going to the movies! Yea! Indiana Jones!


Oh yes...those are giant playing cards!



Nothing says spades like giant cards!




Kai's losing! *Not really...the boys killed us with a score TOO embarrassing to write*




Learning to play tennis! Wimbledon...here we come!!
