I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Happy Birthday!



Happy Birthday To You!
The girls had so much fun on their birthdays!
Grandma Vick pitched in to get them their very
first bikes! Boy was it a blast trying to teach them
to ride! I never knew I could get so frustrated.
But,... they did eventually get the hang of it!
Such big Girls! 2 and 4! Who knew!!
