Jeremy Said It
On our recent trip to see Bubba, I was driving down I-44 after dark and came upon a State Trooper and passed him. Now I was going about 2 or 3 miles over the limit, but so was the guy I was following.
The trooper sped up to get along side of us, then dropped back and got behind me. I couldn't se why he would want to pull me over, so I got over to get out of his way. He got behind me again, so I just waited for the lights to come on, and about 15 seconds later they did.
I got my license out and rolled down my window. As the trooper is walking up, Jeremy loudly blurts out, "We surrender!"
Turns out, the trooper saw Jeremy moving in the back seat and wanted to make sure he was wearing a seat belt. We all were, so without even checking my license, he let us continue on our way.

More Pics from Christmas
Putting up the tree
The dog had not yet been given this toy.
It is supposed to be a tree skirt.
I told you the earrings would come!

Merry Christmas
It has been a while since I have posted anything. Life can be so hectic at times, and now seems to be no exception.
It is Christmas Eve around 11:00, and we are preparing to head home after visiting with "Bubba" (our oldest son, Nathan). It is different since we have already opened our presents and will be on the road a good part of Christmas day. Christmas morning will consist of packing up the car and heading home to Grandma and Grandpa, Paula's parents, who now live with us.
Yes, it is different. No tree or lights or presents. My mom and Dad and brother Tom are no longer with us. But what is important is here, family. I am so blessed, we are so blessed. Not so much in the material sense, but in the sense that we know God, love him, and love one another. I do not wish for another kind of Christmas.
For those who happen on this blog, whether family, friend, or stranger, I wish you the same. Know God's love for you, love and be loved by family (and that includes the family of God), and have the peace and purpose that all of that brings.
Merry Christmas!
Don, Paula, and Family
