It has become a hectic March in the family making the "March Madness" of sports take a back seat. Two of our sons are planning for BIG events in the family.
Leah and Stephen are expecting a baby girl to be born soon, hopefully before next week. Our three sons were all born two weeks early, so maybe this little one will get here soon. Special advise: Mam-ma (Cindy) always played a game of volleyball right before the babies were born. It seemed to help speed up things.
The countdown begins today as it is 10 days until the wedding of our youngest son. Brandon and Rachel will be married on Saturday March 29th at Victory Baptist. I can hear Mrs. Simpson now saying, "I used to change him in the nursery!" There are a lot of things to be done in the next 10 days. So the month has become hectic, our own family "March madness" you might say.
To add to this, I filled in for our music pastor for the last two weeks at church, preparing the choir for the Easter program while he was recovering from surgery. We will travel to Cowpens for my dad's 82nd birthday party this Friday, and then a few days later, we will travel on Jacksonville for the wedding. We are looking forward to see our family and the many friends from Jax - we have been gone almost 8 months now!
Through all this, we have been blessed to watch the Lord work in our family. My sister's husband, Charlie, was in the hospital for tests for a week, and is now home recuperating. My wife has been able to work every day as a substitute teacher except for 2 days since mid January. We will soon have another grand-daughter and another "daughter" in the family!
