Shad Point Scotts: August 2008

Finally the long awaited day is coming. Min and the boys will be arriving in a week and a half! We have been busy getting our rooms and closets cleaned out to make room for them. It's been a busy week and we are still working hard. Once the ERD approval came, everything fell into place. We are all excited and can't wait.

We never realized how much junk we owned! We've been through boxes upon boxes trying to sort pictures and memories of years gone by. It's funny how grandchildren can put things into perspective! We're much more able to part with things from the past, looking at the present and toward the future!

Last weekend marked a year since our precious niece, Karlee went to be with Jesus. She never woke up on a Saturday morning and it has been a difficult year, especially for my brother, Brian, and her mother and sister, Patty and Chelsey. Life on this earth will never be the same but God has been faithful and thankfully, we have looked to Him for comfort and peace and He is providing. Please continue to keep her family in your prayers.

Please also continue to pray for our son, Chris who is still in Iraq. I know he is feeling better now that Min and the boys are returning to the US but he misses his family very much and it is so tough to be so far away from those he loves. We are missing him and long for the day he will return. He makes us proud as he performs his duty to his country and we all are praying that Iraq will soon be able to secure their own country so our men and women in uniform can come home to their families.

Here's just a few pictures from the past few weeks:
