renewed love from blog

Hi Loveys and my favorite Little Women..and son-in-law

I was reviewing the blog and it was so good. I was inspired to return and write!!I hope you all will do the same and especially add some pics. We love it so muchie

Amy..pic with Pablo. Anna your new digs. J&A some school photo opts would be great
Grandmother moved to a rehab center today for likely about 2 weeks. Pray it will help. Then the current plan from Cindy and Dad is a trial at home. I think I want to leave in that time, but family duty calls to take the trip and get the t-shirt. I believe we have a history in this. Keep us in your prayers.
I decorated for fall...I love it so.

Love you all so. Don't forget to feed your souls so you grow.

Hi Girls and John,

Was really good to hear from all corners this weekend. You all would have been very proud of our Fuz, looking quiet intelligent and distinguished in her glasses, dress and blonde bun. It was really fun to meet your engineer buds and see your world of experiments. We are sad we will not have Erin for a roomo but glad she got in her choice. We had a good trip home, good visit with Devon/Hitesh(do pray for them to get babies soon from India), some shopping in Austin, lunch on the veranda. But skip The Twin Peaks....don't let the fine outdoor porch and snowboarding movies fool you...it's another Hooters...or worse!!Leave it to Austin!
Abby was very lonely without the man!!but she was the woman in the pulpit today, in both English and Spanish. Wow if only your fam could have been in pew #2. I am sure you were encouraging. We are looking forward to a visit in about a month. Yeah
And miss Amy. Trying to keep warm in the cold North. Did you deliver a baby on your natal day?? By the way, the Clint cactus has a bloom...for what it's worth.

Lovey you guys much. Have great weeks and feed you little souls

Marme

loving you all so muchie

Mommy,

Thanks for the update:) Things are well for me a little crazy...it looks like i'll be coming down to the valley March 3rd through March 9th I'll probably fly into Harligen and then perhaps out of SA. I also spoke with Holy Family and they are cool with me hanging out with them some during the week to work on my spanish along with hopefully improving some of my midwifery skills and helping them as much as I am able. Just for the record I did email the "lammie" and he wrote back a really intense romantic email...just kidding:) nobody get too excited. Well that's all that is new in my world. Pray for me, my jobs, school, and our community house if you think about it.

Love you all so MUCH!

pss- dokey can you post john's famous article or a link or something? thanks

homefront update 1/20/08

Hi all lovies from the SA homefront. It is Texas coldy here 40's and so Winterscape/Christmas music onlline fills my kitchen. I love it!!! Dad says I am in major pyro mode with all my candles...but you have to burn them before it's 90 all the time! Cold weather has also brought our lovely friends from Ratatouille in the garage and upstairs. We sat 6 traps 2 hours ago and I notice the one on the water heater is on the floor behind it. I'm leaving it for bravemen(birdmens) and the pooper scooper team!!
Abby and John discovered their furnace does work..yeah. It is warmer in that valley thank goodnes. Understand from the phone call today my favorite son in law was written up famously in the paper for his organic endevours. So proud.
Anna is back at the BU and getting in the groove. So is Justin, the graduate,,hmmmmmm. I hadn't really put it together until tonight when we were talking about Grandma Dorsey's boyfriend, but who thinks maybe this is her baddddd influence????
It's SOMEONE's BIRTHDAY this FRIDAY!! Not too late to get a card in the mail today! Such a wonderful natal day that was when the t-bird landed in our nest. Dad and I were so excited and she was so cute(still is) and Abby was delighted to have a sister(still is)
Looking ahead towards March 6, 7,8,9 for beach/valley time. Let's keep moving that direction for plans as all can. Dad will be in a course in Indy so just us girls, John/Jack....possibly or not Mema.
Our minister preached a very powerful sermon around global warming, lack of water and hunger in the world. I thought he must have had some coaching from the Mennonite brethern. It was quite good and motivating...some great film usuage to motivate with scriptures.
Speaking of footage I heard the Lammie did some great film, all heart as Lammie is. Will be praying for your weeks. Thanks for the loving phone calls.
