Tommy is 15 today! It is a tradition in our home that the birthday celebrant is served a Mickey Mouse pancake (complete with a Skittles face) and has a fun helium balloon attached to their chair. The kids were so young when I started this and they still love it. Nicole and Ashley now do the same for their children.Tommy's day was full. School, a cancelled Cross Country Meet (weather), Cross Country practice, shower and on to play in the Pep Band for the first home football game. He is now bowling with a few friends. We will gather the family and shower him with affection Sunday.
I give thanks to the Lord that Pete was able to leave Houston this morning on an 11:00 a.m flight. Houston is sadly being hit by Hurricane Ike at this time. Pete arrived safely home this evening and we are grateful that he is safe. Many prayer of safety to all of those still in harms way.
God's Blessings
