Cheyenne Mountain PCA prays for the McClures on Sean's last Sunday. They are praying for their house to sell so she can join him in Virginia. In January they will all move to Monterrey, California.
The new America the Beautiful park was a fun day for us to play in the fountain. Jenna is now three and holds up a sign she made.
Sophie at 22 months!
Fun time at the zoo in front of the Big Back Yard.
Heather lives so close to DFW airport that she was able to bring me home for lunch and a quick loving on Susannah on my trip to Colorado.
Heather is such a happy mother. Troy passed his license exam for the PCA. He is now doing an internship at Colleyville Presbyterian Church near Grapevine, Texas where they live. Troy still works as a bondtrader and Heather has her piano students. After they finish this, they will be looking for God's next call in their lives.
Susannah is getting over her reflux and is quite the smiley face. She is such a miracle from God for Troy and Heather. The "capris" she is wearing are from me!
Alicia took us to a Rockies game while we were visiting in Colorado. It rained and hailed and the Rockies lost. We still had a blast! (Couldn't figure out how to make this picture bigger!!!)
My brother Mike and his wife Ellen hosted our Second Cousin Reunion in honor of our grandmother Opal. I was able to go while John was taking seminary classes in Colorado. We met in Kemah, Texas and sailed on Mike's boat. His wife Ellen, fixed fabulous meals and feed all 21 of us for 2 days. I'm still waiting for the group picture.
After the reunion we went back to my brother Pat's home in Louise,Texas. I always love posing with my niece Katherine and her horse.
Pat's home in Louise. Couldn't resist this one with the goats grazing on the lawn.

John, Mark and Alex met me at the airport in LA Tuesday night. Mark was in town to see the premier of Dark Night. Alex and Mark are partners on the website http://www.firstshowing.net/. Mark is the graphic artist and event guy for these movie premiers.( In Colorado Springs-not LA!) Alex does the interviews. Check it out. It's quite remarkable what they have been able to accomplish in such a short time. We all went to see the 10pm showing of Wall-e ,Mark's favorite movie at the moment.I agree, it is very sweet and funny. On the plane back to LA, I sat next to an Aussie. As I was getting off, he said" A ga'day for you mam. You get to see all your kids in one day. That was true. Kinda amazing and a huge blessing. Mark and Alex stayed with us and went back to Colorado Springs yesterday. They managed not be delayed by the bomb threat at LAX. I am so glad to be back with my precious husband and this amazing 75 degree weather.
Corrie arrived in Dallas on Tuesday for a week to help Heather. Jenna and Sophie are being loved and spoiled by Sean's Aunt Judy in Denver and her ten children. I think seven of them still live at home. Sean comes home in August.
"Aunt Coco" was delighted to hold Susannah for the first time.
A precious time of sharing between sisters. Heather came home from Ukraine to be with Corrie when Jenna was born. This was Susannah's first time in denim.
You can see the tears in my smile. Very soon after this picture was taken, I got on a plane and flew back to LA. It was so hard to leave, but I am thankful that Corrie went to all the trouble and expense to come and help her sister.
We are all doing well at the Greene House. It's amazing how six pounds can completely change your life. Heather and I are just playing house. Troy has been so great to appreciate my being here. It doesn't seem that long ago when Heather was a baby herself. Being a grandmother is just the greatest.
Meemaw and Pawpaw Greene and LaLa and Papa Rantal happy with our new little Susannah.
Every southern baby needs a bow. This one was just perfect.
Corrie missed her plane to California because her battery was dead this morning. John got online and found the location of the hood release lever to the new Mini Cooper Sean just bought. Corrie then jumps her car. She is an amazing Special Forces wife. What do Papa and LaLa do while we are waiting? Why not trim the booganvillas!
Onilla came for six glorious days. She loved the sunshine and our ladies loved her.
She spoke outside in a beautiful home and garden of a lady in our church. She spoke on Meeting Christ in the Garden. Resting in his Authority.
I was the MC and had fun with my flower hat. We had 30 ladies who came and feasted on God's Word.
Our committee was almost a third of us. Each lady had an important part and we all felt the Lord used it to strengthen and encourage our women. Thank you Onilla, for loving my new ladies and preparing such a powerful message.
We are thilled to have this new couple in our church. Grant is in the Air Force and Kelly has joined my Moms and Tots with Kendall. They have just moved to the area.
One of the ladies in our church goes every Thursday to Planned Parenthood to pass out liturature to mothers going in for abortions. This Thursday I went with her. We we able to make contact with about 3 mothers. One man came up to us and thanked us for doing this. We don't know the results but God does.
This is Nadine who took me to Planned Parenthood. She actually spent time in jail 17 years ago for protesting. She is an amazing lady and a very good friend. John and I are so blessed to have her husband and her in our church. This picture was taken at our women's retreat.
