Addie Grace's visits with Family & Friends

Addie Grace with Pastor Ray McCollum

From Drop Box

We were so blessed to have Pastor Ray come by our house while he was in town, and pray an amazing prayer over Addie Grace! I first attended Bethel at age 11 (25 years ago!) when Pastor Ray was the Pastor. He has been praying over us and our family basically my whole life!

Pastor Rafe (Bethel Franklin) came by the same day as Pastor Ray, and also prayed over Addie Grace. A couple of days before then, Liz brought the girls by...along with an incredible yummy dinner ~ that lasted 3 days!

We are so very blessed by our amazing friends & family that have come by, called, emailed, texted, made dinner, PRAYED, brought gifts. One day I will take my friend Bethanie up one of her many invitations to bring me something or hang out soon! :)

She has been prayed over by 5 Pastors and countless friends & family. She is a testimony to prayer. She is a peaceful, amazing child! There is a peace that surrounds her that draws people to her. The Lord certainly has His hand over her life.

Here is Addie Grace with Peter & Nicki. Wonderful friends!

My parents have come over virtually every day since we've been home! They are also bonding with Addie Grace! They have been amazing and so helpful! Mom has gone out with me and her just about everywhere that we've had to go, and sits in the backseat and keeps her company and feeds her cheerios! My diaper bag weighs as much as her! I forgot how high maintenance babies were whew! I am so glad my parents live 7 minutes away! She always makes sure she wears a great necklace for Addie to play with, and Papa is always ready to tell her a good story!

Last week, Ken's parents were able to come up for a visit! They went to the grocery store and bought us food and made an amazing dinner! They also left us with 466 diapers! Yay! Here they are keeping her entertained! She loves her Grandma & Grandpa!

Can you believe this is my house??? What furniture?

This Saturday we took her to see her Great Great Aunt Marilyn! We used to go over to her house in between church services on Sundays and eat the most amazing Southern Meal ~whew she's a good cook! She still brings her fried okra and Lemon Meringue and Chocolate Pies to our house on Christmas! She told me under no circumstance should I take her picture in rollers...oh well.
