Please excuse our extreme lack of blogging

Wow! I hadn't realized that it has been this long. Ghhhh! It's not that there's nothing to post, just that there's not enough GOOD time to do it. Even now, I'm sitting here wondering what else I SHOULD be doing, rather than futzing around with the computer.

Just in case any of our followers were unaware, we moved from Louisville, KY to Hagerstown, MD at the end of December. Tim took a pastor job at Real Life Community Church, and I am teaching 3rd grade at Grace Academy.

Katie is amazing. She has made the transition FAR more smoothly than we thought she might, and she is already well-acquainted with most everyone at the new church.

It is fantastic to live so much closer to all the grandparents. Tim's parents are only an hour away, and my folks are only about 5 hours away. This makes seeing them all SO much more convenient.

My sister has just had her baby, as well. Rayne Elle Perry was born on March 31st. She was little, but then, so are her mommy and daddy. Everyone is doing great, and they have made the transition to "familyhood" quite easily.

Our Katie is becoming so much more vocal -- not that she wasn't before, but she's really starting to talk well now. She talks in phrases and short sentences, and she repeats just about everything she hears us say. She knows the names of most everyone at church, and she greets them all each time she sees them! She even sits at home and runs through the list of names of people she knows -- Butch and Laura, Hi Bob, Joe, Henry, Dave and Connie, Phyllis, Gaylon, Elaine, Jesse, Mark, Stacy, the list goes on and on!

We've recently begun holding church services in a local Seventh Day Adventist church building. They have agreed to let us rent their building on Sundays and Thursdays during the week -- which is much better for us than the school building we were meeting in. There, we only had about 5 hours on Sunday mornings. Palm Sunday was our first Sunday there, and we had a remarkable turnout (about 80 people) on Easter Sunday! God is so good!! We're eagerly awaiting what He has in store for Real Life Community Church -- all we know, is that it's been 11 years for RLCC as of Palm Sunday, and He's certainly not finished with us yet!! Praise God for who He is and for all He does!! May all we do bring honor and glory to Him!!
