Here are a few pics from recent (major) events in our family...
Everett's Baptism...
We were delighted to have our two FAVE preachers involved in Everett's baptism. These two are really important to us because they have helped our family through so many things. Richard (on the right) was my preacher in high school. He was the solid rock during my crazy senior year and was usually one of the first persons at my side during the hard stuff. Eight years later, I asked him to be a part of the happiest day in my life (since he'd helped me through the worst days), November 11, 2005...the day I married my Homet. He also did all of our pre-marriage counseling. Two years later, we joined his church in Madison, Parkway Hills UMC. He will retire this summer which saddens me deeply but makes me happy for him. The one on the left is my one and only stepdad, Bert. He's married to my Mom and is the other preacher that married Wade and I. I don't even know where to start in how much he means to us. He's already retired but came out of retirement this one day to baptize his grandboy.
Don't know why my eyes are closed. Maybe I was praying that Everett wouldn't throw up on Richard's pretty robe.
Dad's new barn. He just completed this project about 8 months ago. There was only half a wall standing.
Fragile, yeah right. Gwendy had started moving her china and dishes to the barn since they had already almost filled a storage unit.
Dad's "home." His bedroom and closet was to the right. This is what his neighbor saw when he thought my dad had been home. You can see why he thought he'd find a body. Dad's future home site is on the hill in the background. Another blessing is they hadn't started to build yet.
My uncle's camper was parked there too. They were supposed to start on the home this week and my Uncle was going to live down here (from TN) to help build.
Our 6 month old boy is sitting up unassisted which scares me. Why, you ask? Guess what's next?...crawling. NOOOO! Wish he'd stay small forever. At his 6 month check-up, he was 50% (17 pounds, 4 ounces) in weight again and 75% in length (27 inches).

Rook's fan club!
The next day, we found this at Dad's land. This was the path of the 2 mile wide tornado.

He is a DOLL!!! I'm so very sorry about your dad's land. I hope everything gets back to normal soon.
