Corrisponding Pictures

I hoped I would have time this week ... and vuala! Something got cancelled tonight - so here I am. Artie's on a run and I decided to blog ... so this is my idea of working out :)


Matt's Baby Shower




One of many sweet gifts that were given




Cedar Key Crew: Carrie, Artie, Lela, Dixie, Casey, Joseph, Jan, Jean, Jennifer


I just love that Artie's mom has sisters ... what is life without them?! (Artie's grandmother had two sisters too, weird!?)




This picture didn't come out clear, but this is the house that Artie's grandmother grew up in.




Our Cedar Key weekend was in celebration of Great Aunt Dixie's 90th Birthday!



Robyn & I on Good Friday



Baby Matt was born!


Aunt Charlotte with Matt


Look at what a BEAUTIFUL baby boy!


I have to end with this HILARIOUS picture! We took Zoe out to give mom & dad a nap time and she went up to the manican and held her hand, then looked up at her and said, "Shoes?" That's right Zoe, where are her shoes?! So funny!

More to come ... Artie and I were extremely blessed with a get away weekend to the beach. I will be posting more soon. Thanks for sticking with me!

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...
