Relish: (extras for the readers)

Dear hoodoos and yahoos,


We had a ball in Holiday, FL a few weeks ago with my in-laws. We spent a week throwing horseshoes and grilling meat. I really miss that side of my family and i'm sure it was very therapeutic for Racheal as well. The Roberts' family reunion was a blast.

Racheal is doing so well with her pregnancy nowadays. She's been blessed to be able to stay active. We just took a two-day float down the Yadkin River in kayaks with Sadie (our dog) and camped in a tent. Not bad for a pregger on her seventh month. She's currently "nesting," as my dad calls it, by preparing the house for Fisher. She's painting an African mural in Fisher's bedroom. You should come see it.

Fisher's Baby Pool Fundraiser:

Far be it from us to be blessed by God with opportunity of parenthood and fail to capitalize lucratively on it as well. We're hosting a baby pool for Fisher. Everyone knows that Fisher is due on September 20, but only God knows for sure when the actual date will be.

Here's where you come in! You guess the date Fisher Stone will be born and his weight and length. You are welcome to guess as many times as you like. However, you must include $5 with each guess. If the winning date has more than one correct guesser, the prize will go to the closest weight and length guessed for that day.

The winner will receive half of the total money up to $50 (kind of like a 50/50 raffle). The rest will go towards us as we try to get our finances together with the new baby before we leave the country.

Happy guessing!

If you're thinking to yourself, That's dumb. I don't want to play this game. Then feel free just to send us the donation without guessing. You won't hurt our feelings.

PrayeRequests:

  • My father-in-law's father became ill and passed away recently. He was not a believer. Please pray for the family as they spend their first Fathers Day without John Zinn Roberts.
  • Our in-depth interview for the IMB is on Tuesday. Pray for us as we'll be on our best behavior.


Quote of the Month:

Racheal killed a house fly that appeared to be pregnant and announced, "There is only room for one of us!"



I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed at the light of the starts
It's all proclaiming who you are. Your beautiful...


Love bears all things,
†il the whole world hears,
corey reid pendergrass

It looks like you've got rachael in a choke hold.
