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."

Alyssa's First Meal!

Alyssa loves her baby food! When Mom Mackley was up here, she gave her a piece of french bread and she died and went to heaven. When mom would take it out of her mouth she would freak out! So the next day we went out and bought her some baby food. Now,... I know that some may think, 'what the heck, she's only 4 months!' But she was so ready. When we would sit up to the table to eat together, she would get so mad. Even if I was just holding her in my lap, she would stop crying. She loves her food and is doing so well with it!

I can't believe that she is already four months old. I can't wait to love on her when you guys come down.
