Time is Up
So my mom and step dad will be moving this Friday to Gainesville, GA. It’s not too far away, but it’s a lot farther than she’s ever been before. It kind of stinks. My stepsister-in-law is pregnant with her first child and they are not excited about Tom and Mom leaving either. I know that [...]

Spread the News.
So how did we tell people the news?
Well, first, let me say that I have thought for two years how fun it would be to tell Frankie we were having another baby on Father’s Day. I mean, how cool would that be? So, on Father’s Day, I took a test because I felt like I [...]

Positive
Well, today I went to the doctor for my first appointment in a long series of mostly and hopefully boring appointments. Yes, we are expecting another Creel somewhere around March of next year. I’m excited. I’ve been wanting another baby before Alyx gets too much older. They will be about 3 1/2 years apart which [...]

A Perfect Mess
“A Perfect Mess” by Lisa Harper was very different from what I thought it was going to be. It’s a great book. Lisa takes you through selected Psalms and shows how God loves us just the way we are… no matter what we do or say, He is big enough to take it and even [...]

What’s New with Alyx?
Well, Alyx is growing a little every day. She talks all the time… to people she knows, not so much if she doesn’t know you well. She calls churches (that have steeples) castles and is always wanting to see where another castle is. She called the movie theater “church” for the first time the other [...]

Ready for the Weekend?
I have a lot of stuff going on this weekend. We are leaving Thursday and spending Thursday night through Saturday morning in Charleston, SC. It should be fun and hopefully, relaxing. Maybe we’ll spend Friday at the beach. Frankie has some camera thing on Saturday, so I won’t see him until time to go home.
Then, [...]

Under the Distant Sky
I love stories set in the early years of America, when people were full of hope and had dreams of taming the rugged land. The stories of the wagon trains floating across rivers and dragging through the prairie land. This is one of my favorite settings for a story. “Under the Distant Sky,” by Al [...]

Hilton Head
So this past weekend, Frankie, Alyx, and I sent a couple days in Hilton Head. Alyx had a great time at the beach. She loved the water and loved having a friend there to play with. She didn’t like the crabs that seemed to be everywhere on the beach! You would pick up your towel [...]
