Well, it is evening. I am sitting here just looking at all kinds of pictures on the computer. I feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful family. I love them all. I hate the distance that is between us but I feel so close and warm when I think about them.

I talked to Lil on the phone today. They have to be in Virginia by February 21. She is trying hard to stay calm about the move. There is so much to do and so little time in which to do it. I think it is coming to a realization that the comfort zone and familiarity that they have become accustomed to are about to disappear. They will be in new and different surroundings. Adjusting to parenthood is a big adjustment on its own. But there will be many more adjustments to make. Lil is already worried about if she will like David's new doctor. He is due to have his first set of shots Feb 19 there. I hear the worries of a new mother. I remember so well the concerns. She told me last night she started stressing out really bad to the point of tears. Adam stopped what he was doing and they sat with David and prayed. You know, what more could you ask for. I too will keep them in my prayers. I pray for their move to be as smooth as possible. I pray that Adam will love his job and that it will be all that they had hoped for. I pray that they don't have to struggle finding a house or place to stay. That it will be a nice neighborhood with caring people. And I pray they will unite and stay strong and supportive of each other. And I know that the Lord is with them and will continue to bless them and help them.

I am so happy for Ceal and Joe right now. They have been able to make a trip to Denver to see Jaci and Jarred and the kids. They love them so much. I have been so impressed with the love and the dedication I see in Ceal and Joe to their family. It makes me cry with happiness. I am glad they have been able to have some time. I wish we all lived closer to one another so it could be more frequently that these visits can be made. They are what keep us going. I thank God for the opportunities he blesses us with. I pray we never take them for granted. I wish love and happiness to Jaci, Jarred and those beautiful children.I pray that their adjustments to their new surroundings are easy and smooth. I see two dedicated parents who will take good care of those precious children. What pleasure that gives me.

I pray for all of our children out there. I miss them all. I love them all very much. I just can't seem to say it enough. I want happiness and success for everyone. I want strength and stamina to be in all of us as we travel through this life. We have so much to be thankful for.
