The Shack - A MUST READ FOR ALL

While I am not one to push my views on people, I have to say that in this situation I have to encourage everyone to read the book `The Shack.` I can honestly say that if you are willing to take the time and read it, it can be a life changing experience for you. I promise, you will see God in a new light and most likely, in a way you have never seen Him before. You need to keep an open mind and not judge the book too harshly. If you do, your eyes will be opened up to what a true relationship with God is supposed to be and why things happen in this world they way they do. It will remind you that in the face of horrible circumstances, God`s goodness never changes and that he brings all circumstances of life to His glory. If you have ever faced a mountain or ever struggled with who God really is, this book is for you!

TUCKER'S 1ST WORD





Happy New Year! It has been a while since I have blogged but life has been busy. Thank you all for taking part in the "WHO DOES TUCKER LOOK LIKE" poll. As expected, the votes were almost evenly divided. We hope you had fun taking part!

Our Christmas was a good one overall! It was nice to be surrounded by so much family. It felt like an old fashoned Christmas like the ones I had growing up! Our tree was so full of presents, though, that it took a couple of hours to get through them all. PLEASE. . . keep in mind that there were presents for 8 adults and 1 VERY special baby all under one tree! But the highlight had to be when Darryl took Tucker in his arms and read the Christmas story out of the Bible and then had Nan Philpott pray! It definately put the day into perspective!

Since Christmas our great news is that Tucker said his 1st word. . . DAD! It came as such a wonderful suprise for Aunt Trula and Uncle Dave who are here visiting from NF. They hate being so far away from him and this made them feel apart of his growing up! I can hardly believe that he is almost 8 months old. He is almost 20lbs and is stretching 30 1/2 inches long! Boy am I glad that he didn't get my height! Oh and for all you music lovers, his little hand can span 5 keys on the piano! That's my boy!

Well, this is the end of my brief update for now! Continue keeping in touch and we will continue to update as things need updating :)

Until Then,
Crystal (Darryl, Tucker & Misty)
