Last Night

Last night Reece spent the night. He loves Caelen and Lyssa so much, and they are wonderful with him. How sweet it is to wake up and see his precious face. His face when he is sleeping is peaceful and beautiful--rosy cheeks, a rosebud mouth and astonishingly long, dark eyelashes.

Last night we finished Where The Red Fern Grows. A few tears were shed at the sad ending, but we all really enjoyed the book.

Last night we played blackjack with the Grands. Caelen had played it somewhere and wanted to play. We used pennies as chips, and even Lyssa had fun, although at first she didn't want to play. They didn't seem to mind that Papa is a very strict blackjack dealer. Today Papa and Caelen went to Target and bought a little case filled with poker chips, cards, dice and the rules for Texas Hold'em. I hope we're not turning our grandchildren into gamblers. :o)

Last night we made a list of the things we would need for our trip to the river. We went shopping for them today, and I think we're about ready. We will pick Kelly up on our way out of town in the morning. I'm glad she's going with us. The Grands always have fun with their Aunt Kelly.

If you have a minute, please send up a quick prayer for our safety on the road and on the river. Thanks!
