"In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." –John 16:33

Kelly was born on a Sunday

Thirteen years ago today, we woke up in our condominium in Boynton Beach, Florida at about 7:30 in the morning.  Lorena let me know that she was ready to have our first baby.  We called the Eversley’s to let them know we would not be in the Sunday morning fellowship meeting and made the forty minute drive over to the hospital at Loxahatchee.  Our only visitors between then and when Kelly arrived were Carlos and Vanessa Bautista our dear friends who now live in the Austin, Texas area.  Lorena went through the delivery naturally (I learned my lesson about that–the wife suffers A LOT through the delivery, then the husband suffers through the rest of his life for not having convinced her to have an epidural!).  Kelly arrived that evening about 8:30.  She had a full head of curly black hair and was absolutely beautiful.  She is just as beautiful today as she turns into a teenager.  One of the things for which we are most grateful about Kelly is her kind and thankful spirit.  Happy Birthday, Kelly!!!

    Happy Birthday Kelly! Hope you have a great day today…

  3. I never got one of these posts, so I am making sure of the opposite. I am afraid Kelly will get too spoiled. You see, I am doing it to PROTECT Kelly.
    Without me it would be hopeless peoples.

  4. Did you know there are two unreleased XP themes? One is glossy blue green, and the other black. Which one should I use?

  5. Dad

    I vote for the glossy blue green, but I would like to see them first.

  6. Dad

    Shall I take a screenshot of both and put them up on fireftp?

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET GIRL!!! We sure love you and we love seeing you grow from a child into a girl and then a teen. We know that as long as you put God first in your life, you will always have a wonderful life….now and forever!! We have to take the grandkids back to their Dad’s in a few minutes. We called yesterday but you all were busy. Maybe we can do something next time they come. Jeremy is really loving reading the Magic Tree House book. I think he will like Hank the Cowdog as well. Thanks for telling us about them.

    And a a % of total weight… you are WEIGH ahead of me. 😉

  10. Dad

    After the last couple of days, I think my % of total weight might be winning, too! Maybe we ought to switch this to the high score wins.
