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."

Our Beautiful Baby Girl

Alyssa's blessing was so beautiful! She was such a good baby and slept the whole time! We are so lucky to have such a great baby in our family. Here are some pictures of Alyssa in her blessing dress. It turned out so beautiful. Thank you Grandma Mackley for making the dress and bonnet and for hand crocheting a gorgeous white blanket. It helped the day be so special, and will hopefully help make Alyssa's future children's blessing day special too!
