Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Year in Review: 2012

2012 has been a great year for our family.  We have grown and changed, made new friends, and done new things .  One of the biggest things to happen to us this year is to add a new member of the family.  Twitch died in middle of January, after being with us for almost 12 years.  We weren't planning on adding another cat until one of the others kicked the the can, but as He so often does, God had other plans. 


At the end of June, while making a regular trip to our local Publix, we noticed a kitten run across a side road and into a storm cauldron.  Mom decided that a tiny kitten needed to be rescued and so thirty minutes, a half a can of wet cat food, and a lot of prayer later, we had a new cat.  At first while we played the it's-a-boy-it's-a-girl game, we called her Stormy since we found her in a storm drain and she is grey and white.  Once the vet confirmed that she is a girl "Stormy" didn't seem to fit.  We finally decided on "Milli", short for Millimeter since she was and is so small.  Later "Milli" changed to "Millie", short for "Millicent" although Jacqueline still insists on Millimeter.

 
This cat was from the first wild and crazy.  Don't believe us?  Here's the proof she inhaled to many car fumes... 






This one makes us giggle like crazy.

The rest of the year has been full of smaller but still enjoyable things.

  In January, Ron Paul made a campaign stop 30 minutes from our house and we HAD to go.


 
 
 
 
   March meant an Aquarium trip.


 
 April saw all new windows in our house.



In September we spent several enjoyable days visiting Miss Laura and her kids. We also took a day trip to Madison and stopped at a local tea house.
 
 



All the other days are filled with friends, silliness, projects and just enjoying the time that God has given us with each other. We pray that next year will be another year of growth and enjoyment.
