This is Joels' family picture, taken Christmas 2007. They live across the street from us, and I babysit their two girls nearly every day. My first post included recent pictures of them. It is so good to have at least one child living close, so we can "spoil" the grandchildren, then send them home. HA Joel works full-time as a builder at Pro-Built, Inc. a modular home company, and part-time at Sparkle Pools as pool installer. April works for a company who has clients with social needs; she has 2 clients assigned to her. She takes them shopping, eating out, to the movies, etc., to give their family a break. They both enjoy their jobs and are kept busy with work, family, and keeping up the house.

Now that I've gotten started, I thought I'd post an additional photo, just to see how it turns out. This is Joy and Wesley's family picture -- taken Christmas 2007. (I scanned it, and it turned out smaller than I thought it would. Anyway, you can see their family.) Their children's names are Darren Wesley, Melissa Joy (Missy), and Ethan Mark. They live in Tennessee, so we don't get to see them very often, much to my dismay. Thank the Lord for cell phones; we talk FREQUENTLY, nearly every day and sometimes several times in one day. Joy is an RN and works two nights a week in the nursery and sometimes NICU. She loves her job and I'm sure is the best nurse a new mother could ever have. Wesley works as a supervisor of a commercial electrical crew plus is pastor of their church.

Getting started

This is my first attempt at blogging. I just set up the account and thought I'd give it a whirl. I so enjoy reading other's blogs, and thought perhaps others would enjoy reading mine. (HOPEFULLY!!) Anyway, here are some pictures of Joel's girls. Jayna will be 5 in July and Kaylee was 1 on January 31.
