Picture Updates

Okay, so many pictures to share with but so little time. Randy left for the afternoon with the girls and I have homemade chicken rice soup to make (a comfort food for Cassie) and the house to clean or at least partially clean that is. Here we go!

A gift presented to Cassie by Stacy Hand from the CIA (Children in Action) at our church, Waynedale Baptist a few days following her heart catheter procedure. "Thank you, children, for being like Jesus to Cassie!"

Cassie's first time EVER out in the snow!

Cassie loving on her daddy!

Following the Chinese New Year Festival at IPFW

Cassie at the Miller Farm with all the children and helping Sonya and Polly with the dishes

Lastly, Cassie cleaning in her Christmas dress!

Hope you enjoyed! God bless you today!

Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I--I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
