At supper last night, Andy thanked God, not only for the food, but for tastebuds to help us enjoy the food.

Ever wonder why He gave us this enjoyment?

Not just for ourselves; so that each time we eat or drink, we will give Him the glory. He is a jealous God, and will not share His glory with another - not even the cook! ( no matter how good we think we are)



Don't you think He did a good job with this gorgeous baby girl? Of course I'm not biased at all!??
Michelle is now nearly 19 months, but this picture from 13 months is so sweet, I just couldn't resist showing it off.

Venturing out

I thought that since I live in a house with 2 techno-freaks, it was about time that I did some venturing out into the great unknown (largely, by me) world of Blogging. It was actually you, Karyn, who inspired me to do this. I enjoy your blogspot immensely (especially being able to see how grey John has become!), so thanks a lot.

All is well here in JHB. Andy is as busy as ever running things at Highway AOG, as well as typically having a couple of fingers in a few other pies. He never seems to stop, this man of mine.
Daniel is coping admirably with his newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes. Michelle is an eighteen month old bundle of fun and energy; and Stacy is negotiating the path of The Middle Child (and looming adolescence) with no small number of emotional hics.

I am presently a so-called stay-at-home Mom, but as I seldom seem to be at home, I wonder if I shouldn't be called a run-around-from-pillar-to-post Mom. Let me hasten to add that I wouldn't want to be doing anything else - I love being able to watch my kids play sport, doing homework with them etc. It's a privilege and an honour.

And now I need to drag myself away to make supper. Looking forward to learning how to improve and utilise this blogspot well.

Peace to all
Alison
