Terrific Tuesday with Chip

1 John 1:7~~ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

It is such a blessing having Chip here. We are a close-knit family and miss him so much 51 weeks out of the year.

Our day started out with a little excitement as we had a tornado warning at 6:40 for right here in our immediate area. I knocked on Chip's bedroom door to wake him and asked him to put on his shorts in case we needed to get in a closet. Thankfully, a tornado didn't occur and the warning was canceled.

Later, when Chip got up, he and I enjoyed our quiet morning together and then met Richard for lunch at Sonny's Bar-B-Que. From there, we all three went our separate ways.

All nine of us met here at the house for dinner ~~ which I cooked for the family. For 30 minutes before dinner, Chip romped with the kids out in the front yard. They all woke up to see him briefly last night when he arrived but, of course, were in school all day so hadn't been able to see him since those 5 minutes on Tuesday night. This afternoon, they had fun reuniting with their Uncle Chip. He is so good to interact with them and to show them his love. All four of them respond whole-heartedly. The pics shown are from their pre-dinner fun out in the front yard.

Richard and I are enjoying our quiet evening with Chip; however, it is quickly becoming our bedtime. We can't outlast Chip for sure.


Wednesday's Plan: Jaden is all excited to be coming over tomorrow morning to spend the day with Grandma and Uncle Chip. Uncle Chip will be here in the morning but then he and his dad are meeting our pastor, Dr. Jackson, for lunch. Dr. Jackson has heard a lot about Chip, and Chip has heard a lot about Dr. Jackson so it ought to be an interesting first meeting. :) After lunch, Chip wants to go by the Academy to see Amy's office and then is going to pick up Jarrett from school at 3:00 to spend some quality time with him. And then tomorrow night is church. It will be a full day!

That's my reminder that it is now my bedtime. Good-night!
