Let me introduce you to the family...

Back in Arlington, all I talked about was Nicole, Lisa, Ana, and our home group because that is what our life there revolved around. Our friends were our friends, as well as our family.

Here in Lubbock, there are a new cast of characters. We are so blessed to be around our family and that is who we hang with, our kids play with, go to church with etc. So, let's get everyone acquainted...

These are pics from Christmastime that I had already posted but they only way I could get everyone within a few pics. Gotta love that multiple cameras were flashing so everyone is looking at their own camera to get their own good pic. At least that is how I roll.

Now meet Kendra...

the newest cousin!

Gregg & Wendi are in the process of adopting Kendra! Kendra was attending kindergarten at the school Wendi taught and living in a children's home in that town. She had been in and out of foster homes since she was a toddler. Wendi and her family quickly fell in love with Kendra and knew that they wanted to adopt her into their family. At the beginning of August, Kendra moved in with them full-time while they now wait for the adoption to be official.

We met Kendra for the 1st time the weekend we were in town for the funeral. She and Macy became fast friends and we all got a kick out of her spunk.

Beth, Kendra and Wendi

Get this...my hand was literally getting this picture off of my printer when I answered the phone call from Gregg saying he was asked to go to Lubbock.

It's a God thing for sure.
