Abby and I are both in Ft. Smith this week. It seems fitting to be together this week since it's spring break. Abby used to spend her spring breaKs with Stephen and me every year while she was in high school and a couple when she was in college. We had some fun and memorable times. We were laughing last night about listening to DCTalk's cd. The Mrs. Morgan monologue was our fave! Abby even quoted the whole thing last night! And it's been a good 16 years since that spring break! Memories are a funny thing, they last forever. Mom will be in the hospital for a few more days, I'm sure you can imagine her excitement! She is doing well, the recovery is just long. She's being a trooper though. Abby and I are relying on the Lord and so thankful that our gag reflexes have calmed down. We are a family of gaggers and have found that God cares enough about us to help us out this weeK! Thank you for your prayers, please keep them up for the next couple of weeks. Julie

I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t
