Hello, dear Observers!!
Here's another montage of everyday pictures for your personal enjoyment and amusement, and for posterity, from the months of March and April. Enjoy!

p.s. This title for these sort of posts is getting quite stale. Forgive my lack of creativity, LOL. ;) Copy, paste, copy, paste....

I love Edwin's smile!
LOL!
This is from a lovely time we had celebrating Katie's birthday on the 4-Mike the milk guy.
Mother Dear the cake lady...
"ah-it is within my grasp!!"
Pizza wedge in Critter's paws...This child is a true Morton-he couples the words "pizza and movie" together like they were never two different words! LOL.
More birthday buzz-look at Bret III and Mikey III enjoying the food given-Haha, what cuties!! (Many happy birthdays to our Katie dear!!)Y'all remember when it rained for all those weeks last month? Wow, that was allot of rain. The Lord was so good to send it, we sure needed it. Here's our yard during one of the deluges. It was so cool-when the wind would blow, it looked like a mini ocean, with little waves and all!
While we're speaking of movies, pizza and our traditional junk food that always accompanies them, I shall tell of the passing of our TV monitor. We had rented Faith like Potatoes, and got tons of good food (notice a portion of which is set out for jolly munching on the table) and all gathered together on the couches for the moving picture to begin-but, alas, after many years of serious illness, it refused to play even one more DVD. After it passed, we headed downstairs to the computer to watch it on that. :) Have food, will travel. :)Wes and Alan were so good to give it surgery. It did not respond well, however,
and will now spend the rest of time in a landfill somewhere, most likely.Many mini morsels...
I shall end with a picture of our beloved Father working in the garden-this was taken several weeks ago, so every thing's gotten huge since!! He is just amazing. What a gift we have in our Father.

Well, have a blessed afternoon, y'all. Dee is making mocha chocolate cheesecakes for church meeting tomorrow. They smells so good. We're all gathering here for meeting tomorrow-I can't wait to see everybody!! I love Sundays. They are so refreshing, physically and spiritually. Cleve put the screen door back up today, so now the breeze can come in without the cat. That will be charming. Daddy Dearest is gardening. We had an amazing salad today with lunch. Ahh. I took a beautiful walk in the woods this morning. I had the most wonderful time talking with God. Daddy was reading the Bible last night to us, and he read about how Noah walked with God. Enoch did, too. I want to walk with God like that. To have that relationship with my God. He is so holy and merciful. Bless HIS name.

Well, farewell, specimens. Have a restful day of rest tomorrow!! :)

The Marriage Celebration of Andy V. and Brittany A.

Hello, dearest Readers and Viewers alike,
I pray you are doing wonderful tonight-the Lord is so good, isn't He!? He makes my heart truly happy and at peace. Ah. Do you know Him? Do you have that peace that only He can bring? (If you don't, we would love to tell you more about Him!)
Alrighty, here's the wedding post! Hope you enjoy it. I'm afraid I did an awful job of putting the pictures in sequential order, so a few teaspoons of creativity on your part will be necessary. :D The wedding was such a peaceful, relaxed one-I love those. God was truly glorified that day by the events of His children as they joined hands in holy matrimony. They had the bride and her attendants at her home, (a few miles down the road from the lake the wedding was held at) and then, whenever the father of the groom felt like it was the right time, he sent his son, the groom, to go get her and bring her to the marriage feast-it was such a beautiful picture of what God will do with His Son, and how Jesus will come and get us, and take us to the greatest Wedding Feast of all time!!! That is so exciting!!!!!! There was much excitement awaiting the time when Andy went to get Brittany, and much joy at their coming. The vows were beautiful and solemn, and the prayers and the things the two fathers shared all very encouraging, all painting a picture of Christ and His Church. Bless the Lord for such a time.
When ever a car was heard on the highway, everybody was looking around, waiting, watching for the wedding party-it was really neat.
Andy and Brittany-April 18, 2009Adorable Specimens
All the dogwood was so pretty!
The unity candle and salt covenant table. Y'all, they did this really neat thing called a salt covenant-During Old Testament times, people sealed their covenants with salt-each person would take their pouch of salt and mix it with the other's salt-it was that, if you can take out all your grains, (which of course is impossible) then only can the covenant be broken. It was a really poignant picture of two becoming one.

Paul Man. LOL, this child is such a joy!!! Check out that smile!!!

This pictures makes me think about enjoying seasons that you are in. One day it will be another man leading you. One day your precious Daddy will give you away, like Mr. A. did today. Ah, it makes me want to just cherish each day, each year in each season that you will enjoy and live in your life time, because the only thing that will never change is God. May we dance and sing and rejoice in every season-may we do all that that we do for the glory of God, in Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter!!

The two photographers-that sweet girl had a really cool camera!! I'm really looking forward to her formal pictures of Brittany at her house. Fun, fun.
"No more pictures!! Run!!!" ;)

Saying the vows before God the Father and the witnesses. Wow. When you think about attending a wedding, it really is such a great honor to be able to witness two people vowing to become one flesh for as long as both of them live, before Almighty God. Seeing the two be a living example of Christ and His Bride. A wedding is a really, really huge and glorious covenant to watch. Praise God.
