Anna Grace, our Newest GrandBaby!

Ah, how happy we are that she is here!!

Isn't the Lord so very good!? Isn't she just adorable!? Oh, my gracious.

I love her. She is such a gift, this little girl.

Please bless her life, Father! Draw her close to Yourself, in Christ's name I ask this of You...Thank You...

Beautiful footsies...awww...Anna and Kate (Katie is such a gorgeous Mom!)
Mama and Daughter
And Brother and Sister!! LOL, her four siblings just adore her. It's so precious.
Aww...Wallace, you are such a joy!! This picture makes me laugh with pleasure! Cutie!!With her Papa and Mama!And with her Abuelita...

Me and Marth got to stay the rest of the weekend (Mama and Daddy were so sweet to let us stay over!) We had such a blast being with our dear Smithies! And I can hardly believe I didn't get any pictures of everybody while we were all there together, but...anyway, here's a few pictures from Sunday after Church meeting.
Dear Brittany and Wallace...aww...too sweet!And Maud and Kinny!! What precious girlies.Sunday afternoon relaxin'! (I love this picture. Essence la Smith! Heheh!! :D Being in the Smith home is such a joy.)

Oh, and Saturday night, Marth, Bethy and I, with dear Armand as our gallant escort, went to go see Courageous!! Marth and I had seen it before, but it was Beth's first time watching it, but we all three bawled the whole way through the movie.

What an incredible film.

We stuffed ourselves with popcorn and yummies, and cried and laughed and got some pictures out front for memories! When we got home, we made some more popcorn and watched another movie with Maud, stayed up later and laughed some more!! Ah, but mostly just enjoying being together. What precious memories we made that weekend.

To be with the darling Smithtons for a whole weekend, enjoying a new grandbaby together, staying up late with our dearest, wonderful sister Bethy-talking, laughing, eating lots of chocolate, of course, :D going shopping with Daddy and Mama (yayy!!) and just fellow shipping with them...the Lord is good!
Happy day, dearest reader!

Lovingly,

Adeline Grace Morton

Better Together

This is the Lord' doing, and it is so, so marvelous in our eyes!! To see them laughing together......sitting on random benches just to sit... ;)
...cooking......just lookin' at each other...
...being excited together...
...painting their new future home...

(Oh, y'all, their colors are awesome!! They did so good!)
...just deciding what in the worl' to order...

(as you can see, the menu isn't getting very much attention) :D
...and above, looking glamorous together...

(These two are the most gor-ge-ous-est together ever!! )...wearing his shoes......him looking like his uncle and her like her mama......having photo shoots (of the other one)......eating oreos (the best cookie in the world!) with their little brother...
...meeting Mr. Truett Cathy one day while out to eat...
...visiting an aquarium together and seeing a million fish......having a "serious crush on Cleve!!"... (LOL)
...and just going to town together and looking around!! It's so much better when you're with the person that you love...

And it's so, so beautiful to watch them.
Together-ness is beautiful.
Love is beautiful.

Thank You, Lord...

Goodmorning and a beautiful quote...

Dearest Observers!!

How art thou? It's cool and cloudy here today! And I have on a bright green sweater so I feel very Ireland-ish. :D I think it may rain a bit.

Praying for all of you who are traveling to Asheville for the conference, and for the speakers, and the whole weekend. What a (Lord willing) fabulous time coming up!
Y'all have FUN!!! Goodie! Meet lots of people and take lots of notes at the sessions so you can tell us all about it, and take tons of pictures! May your pillow be soft and your meals warm, and don't get your heel caught on the steps. There lots of those-be careful. You would not want to trip. Hehehe, I don't suppose it will snow this time, but if it does, throw a snowball for me!! Leaveth not thy coat in thine room! Stay warm, and God bless you!! Hehe, I'm so excited for ya'! We'll miss seeing you all there. God bless each of your weekends and may He direct your steps to accomplish His will for you. Love y'all!

Oh, and the quote-by George Perkins Morris on God's Word.

"THOU TRUEST friend man ever knew,
Thy constancy I've tried;
When all were false, I found thee true,
My counselor and guide.
The mines of earth no treasures give
That could this Volume buy:
In teaching me the way to live
It taught me how to die."

Isn't that beautiful? To have the Words of Almighty God is incredible. Thank You, Lord! Hallelujah!


Happy day, reader.

Love,

Addie Grace

Part 2 of Engagement Weekend

After we left the coffee shop, we went back home where the K. family had planned and were preparing a special engagement dinner-the sun was going down, the hanging of Japanese lanterns was going on, (with much laughing) and you could smell the grill going...
Mr. K., grilling the best steaks ever.
And there's Daddy back there gettin' some lovin's from Enoch.Oh, and a flash back to Friday-here we are, touring Cleve and Lise's apartment. Notice the hole for the dishwasher.
It was such a blessing to have Chandler down!! We just love him. Here he is, riding The Beast with success! He and Pren were both so fearless with those animals. Love you both so much!And here is Enoch with a very very special Auntie.
Lise dear trying out.......their newly acquired Chair. With a capitol C, baby! That thing is massive! And super comfy!! I think it'll look so fabulous in their new home.
And...another favorite shot from the weekend-some of our little brothers and their wonderful buddies. Love all those boys...

"Wittle Wiwi Cakes!! I wove wou baby. And you's twactor! Yes I do. Yes I do!"
Mike Jr. and Noah tour Michael and Kressant's garden and house site.Our precious Rach and Kress.......hanging the lanterns!
Martha having some Auntie time with Isabella.Kressant Amanda!! Her name means "luna" (or moon). Thank you, dear sister, for reflecting the light of the Son. You bring such joy and brightness to our family! Prentiss and Chandler. (or I could say "Pren-Pren and Chan-Chan!!" in a high pitched, exaggerated Chinese accent to be amusing, but I will refrain, as it would be highly corney.) Are they not a handsome pair?
Only a few weeks left 'till the big day!!! Yahoo!! Hunter, you make us smile!!
As does this Muchkin. Gracious. This child has more personality than-than anybody I've ever met. He makes us laugh all the time. The other day Marth was baby sitting him while M&K were on a date, and Marth was asking him something about an orange.
"It's not Arrrr-ange." he said, exaggerating our Morton accent. "It's Orr-ange. :D
I love you, Critter!
