Second set of Madison Ann Blankinship Photos...
Here you go, we all went out to eat with Great Grandma Moffat... less Heather and Paul... for Mother's Day, since we had kids in town.. and then we dropped by to tell Heather and Madison and Paul good night.. they are doing well, Heather is very weak from all the blood loss and is still bleeding ... some. And Madison has not ate yet.. so they are concerned about that.. she just does not know what to do.. but she will... mother nature has a way of fixing things with time.. haha....
Andrew is spending the night with his Uncle Jake.. and us. Might be interesting...haha..
I took this second set while we were there.. Heather asked me to let everyone know that she appreciates all that everyone is doing, all the prayers, concerns.. and gifts, cards and calls! She is a very proud momma...
Anyway, here is the photos from tonight.. I normally run the photos through photoshop before putting them online..but just don't have the time so enjoy ..in the natural.. haha..

Today's an important day in history.. or will be...
Today's an important day in history.. or will be as this is the day of Madison Ann Blankinship's coming out party!! Yelp.. ole' Heather heads to the hospital at 8am... bet her and Paul are are chewing off their finger nails.. haha... and getting Andrew ready and heading out the door as I type this.
Jon and Randi are coming up around noonish.. and Jake is taking off work.. Phillip and Tammy are on standby with cell phones in hand... We are all so wonderfully excited about this very special day!
Life is so amazing, so full of ups and downs.. we sure need to take time to smell the roses... and sometimes in doing that, it allows us to honor and appreciate those that have left us too.... Grandpa Moffat would be so excited about Madison's arrival, and he would be working so hard to not show it.. haha.. But he would be proud. I think of others too, like my grandparents, the Siegrist. I will never forget the eyes of my grandpa Siegrist as he saw and held Phillip for the first time.... nor have I ever ever forgotten the first time I saw and held each of my kiddos.. I can tell you where we were, what was happening, and how I felt about each... at the time. What a glorious memory that is.... I love each of them, and their spouses more than I can express. I am so proud of each one of them. I will die without a dime in my pocket, that is my destiny... but the one thing I have perhaps in some small way left on this earth... is a wonder, no.. a great family... and that my friends, one can not put a price on! I know I am just a dad blowing off steam in the heat of this exciting moment.. but many times I have wondered in my life... "Lord, why me? What did I do to have to scrap and scrap and struggle every cotton pick'en day? Exactly when did I make YOU mad, Lord?".... Then, I remembered when, at the beginning of each pregnancy the prayer I had prayed with each of my children... "Lord, I will do whatever you chose for me in life, at whatever cost, make any sacrifice, do without all worldly possessions... if you would will to us healthy, hardworking kiddos with a tenacity for a life full of love, wanting to share all they have with others, and growing our family thru your will".
You know, looking back, He answered my prayers in the biggest way possible, giving to me so much more than I ever prayed for... and I, looking back, have "paid the price". Ann and I have never had an extra dime, and we have really been through some struggles, and we are truly best friends now, as we were when we were married, but in the end, what I asked for was given, and what I offered was taken... It was a deeply rewarding trade.
And I am so thankful, so wonderfully happy, so much in love with my family... I am truly... so richly blessed!

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama
Poem Written by Judge Roy Moore
As you know, Judge Moore was recently sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama.
The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama:
America the Beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims'pride
I'm glad they'll never see
Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand;
Oh, sweet land of liberty,
your house is on the sand.
Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said "abstain".
From sea to shining sea
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray.
We've kept God in our temples -
how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool
and Heaven is His throne.
We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless judges
who throw reason out the door,
Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.
You think that God's not angry
that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?
How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?
If we who are His children
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way,
Then God will hear from Heaven
and forgive us of our sins.
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.
But, America the Beautiful,
if you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee.
~Judge Roy Moore
Pass this on and let's lift Judge Moore up in prayer. He has stood firm and needs our support.
IN GOD WE TRUST !
