In a Nut Shell

As promised, I am hoping to catch you up on the events of the McCall family. I think since so much time has passed, I would like to simply offer you a bullet point item list. Then I can get down to the good stuff ... the photos!

• Jobson Shower - In celebration of our coming nephew we had a party. It was a gorgeous day with lots of friends, family, cute baby boy items and a lot of fun!
• Cedar Key Trip - (Yes, Ida Marie - your connections to Artie continue, his grandmother's side of the family is all from Cedar Key and was a part of the Island's discovery and development). We spent a day in Cedar Key learning the history of the Island and the history of our family. Artie's mother's mother (catch that?) - or Lillian White Lankford - and her two sisters grew up on the Island. Due to Lillian's passing in the early 90's we were celebrating her sister, Dixie, as she turned 90 years old. We had a wonderful visit with Artie's family as we dug into the past and must have flipped through 1,000 pictures. I really enjoyed learning more about Artie's family heritage.
• "Believing God" - the girls and I finished our 4th semester of Bible study. We had a strong finish and we all know that we are marked for life from this one. (I'm sure I will come back and write more about this bullet point ... Wow!)
• Spring Fling - our annual church picnic that is a total blast ... I MISSED IT! I was so incredibly sick! So disappointing! Charlotte and I annually race up the rock wall climb and this year was the first time we hadn't done it (for 6 years in a row we did).
• Easter Weekend - What a special time! Artie and I joined with close friends to celebrate Jesus through observing the Passover and remember all that Jesus came to do. We had such a sweet time of remembrance! Then we had the choir's presentation of the Sacrifice which was awesome! Then Easter Sunday, was full, wonderful and glorious day.
• Aprill 11, 2007 (a Wednesday) - Matt Jobson (our nephew) was born! I drove over for a couple of hours to meet him. Then we (Artie, me, & Charlotte) went back that Saturday to spend some time helping out and getting to know our newest little guy.
• Charlotte lived with us for the past couple of months and is still moving out, little by little. We had a lot of fun being together again under the same roof. But, I will admit ... it's GREAT having the house back to just me and Artie again!

There is yet more going on now than I am able to write about, but I know I will find the time to soon.

Pictures coming soon...
