Pictures and Thoughts on Mother's Day

Fun in a laundry basket! Titus and Micah

I love my family - God has blessed Travis and I richly! We are thrilled to be adding another little Payton to the family and look forward to #5's arrival toward the end of December. What will be different about this little one is that he or she will most likely be born in Birmingham, Alabama. After a long process of prayer, hours of phone conversations, and much wise counsel, we are excited to be committed to be a part of a team (Travis' good friend, Will Chenault, from college days in Alabama) to do a church plant in Birmingham. Lord willing, we would like to be moved there sometime this Fall. Pray for our dump truck, chipper and house to sell! You can click on the link on the right side (Church plant in Birmingham) to see a short video Will put together expressing the vision for the church plant there.
I know that's a lot of big news since my last post way back in November 2008 - isn't it amazing what the Lord does in a short amount of time? I could write pages of details of how it all came about, the burden placed on our hearts, etc... but I don't have that much time to put it in writing now! Hope all of you Mommy's had a great day - but isn't every day a joy and privilege to be a Mommy?!
