Kate got Braces!!!!

I know she's young, but she has a lot of teeth that don't have space to come in and this is not so unusual nowadays...

She was not happy the day she got them but now she shows them off like new earrings!
Kate's got bling!!!

My prayer: Lord, Let them work!

Another Painting by Kate Creel

Kate has so enjoyed painting classes and her teacher has encouraged us to let her paint to keep her skills up in the summer time.

This is a painting she was commissioned to paint for a couple in Bridge City. It is the focal peice in their son's bedroom. It even has his name on the plane.

My prayer: Lord, let her enjoy the talents you've given her. May I never turn it into a chore or a must. I love to see her laugh and discuss how she thinks it should look. May she be rewarded for her pursuit of knowledge. ~Amen

Watch out...they May Pop!

Look at this really cool flower that popped open today. I planted a vine along one of the fences last year hoping it would take. After the Hurricane I figured it had no chance, but about two weeks ago we started to notice buds on the vine...all over it. Then this morning when I went to play with the dogs they were not open...again. When I came back this afternoon...look what had popped open.

I think it's beautiful. Don't you love the world God made?

My prayer: God, you did a good job building a home for us. Help me not to screw it up.
Can I hear an AMEN!
