Little Miss Sayde Craft

Yesterday we had the blessing of seeing little Sayde Craft. WOW, she is beautiful!

Katie wanted to hold her - for a minute...then she just about threw her back to Justin when her time was up. I think she equated Sayde to her baby dolls. :)

But then she was off with Ms. Cindy to find the two kitties...they were smart and stayed under the bed...even after they threw treats to them.

And finally Page and Joey-Sayde is blessed! because of your relationship with each other and the Lord. May he use you as a family mightly in DC. We Will Miss You!

Our Morning at the Museum.

Katie and I went on a date to the Natural Sciences Museum in Raleigh. She LOVED it! I think that we lasted an hour and half. We saw anything and everything live there was to see! We also did plenty of kid watching. We ate grapes, hop hops, a yogurt and grilled cheese-yum!

KK-It was a fun date and I can't wait to do it with you again!

Next stop--the zoo in June. :)

Being Katie

 
 
 
 

So Katie these past few days has been into EVERYTHING. We love all the creativity that Katie has.

Photos...

She'll try on anything to be like her daddy and mommy who each wear glasses-Hollywood here she comes.

She is determined to find out where we live with her friend Laney.

She LOVES anything music.

And finally she is writing to and coloring a picture for anyone that will take one.

Keep it up big girl. You are growing up so well!

Thank you Grandpa Hime

 
 
 

For Valentines Day, Grandpa Hime sent Katie $5 for a treat. So after thinking long and hard, she finally decided (with her daddy's help) to spend her money on two cartons of "Strawbees" known as STRAWBERRIES! I think she shared about three of them and the rest she ate up in two days. :)

SO thankyou Grandpa, SHE LOVED HER TREAT!

Grandpa,
I love you,
Katie Grace

LifeCare Pregnancy Banquet...stopping the spead of abortion...one person at at time

Justin and I had the privilege of attending the LifeCare Pregnancy Banquet this past Thursday. The food was good, the fellowship great and the speaker tremendous! A few facts that I can remember that caught my attention...

All these break my heart...

Since 1973 there have been somewhere around 50,000,000 abortions.

Most abortionists work, 4 days a week, 4 hours per day, making about $60,000 each week. Money is the need, desire and sole motivation.

The average abortion costs $500 for first trimester, $1000 second trimester,
and about $5000 for a third trimester.

There are over 10,000 abortions each year in wake county, NC alone.

Most abortion clinic are located in the inner city...catering to the poor and needy.

Most research now concludes there is a high association between breast cancer and those that have had an abortion.

But...Pregnancy care centers receive no federal funding and yet are growing!!

At LifeCare here in Raleigh, they serviced 904 new clients in their two centers,
Saved 328 babies, 7,434 viewed abstinence presentations in schools and churches, and 28 decisions were made to received Jesus Christ as their Savior!!!

Our speaker-Dr. Noreen Johnson (OBGYN, practices in college station TX, born in Trinidad, West Indies)-was once performing abortions, but GOD got a hold of her life and as a gifted speaker and doctor, now travels around speaking the truth from statics and personal experience...if you ever have the chance to hear her, take the opportunity!

Here below is a poem by Hannah Lamb a High Schooler here in Raleigh

Give Me a Chance

Just give me a chance,
Just give me a try,
You haven't even seen me
You haven't heard me cry

You may say I'm not a human,
But you gave me life that night.
I'm a defenseless little being,
And I can't put up a fight.

To you I'm like a weight,
And I've ruined all your plans,
I'd fix it if I could,
We both know that no one can.

Your fun came with a price,
And I'm the debt that you should pay.
You'll remember me forever,
I can't just be thrown away.

The experts say I'm not a human,
The papers say that I'm not real,
But you were once in this same spot,
How would this stuff make you feel?

You are responsible for two now,
You will decide what my fate will be,
Just remember it's not my fault I'm here,
This is my final plea...

Just give me a chance,
Just give me a try,
You haven't even seen me,
You haven't heard me cry.
