My Girls!




Meet Katie and Natalie! Katie is the one with the cute little grin on her face and Natalie tends to be more solemn! They are so sweet and are a huge blessing in my life! Just thought I would share!

Thank you for serving.

The video below brought tears to my eyes. I received this video in an email and had to put it on my blog. It's true that we often forget to say thank you to our military. They make great sacrifices so we can live freely in America. Just a small thank you to every person serving in the military, and to their families. May the Lord bless you today and everyday.

BLESSED!

Well, I've been thinking again. I've been doing that more and more lately! I've been thinking about how blessed I am. God has given me a wonderful family, a great job, amazing church family, and most of all His unchanging, unwavering grace and mercy. Psalm 112:4 says "He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous." I have done nothing to deserve all that God has given me. My family is so wonderful and I know they love me. Do you know how many people hate their job? Not me. I watch twin girls. They are two-and-a-half and their names are Katie and Natalie. I adore them. Wednesday night I had a "moment" I guess you could call it. I felt like I was going to pass out. It's happened before, but never at church. I got home today from watching the girls and mom said a ton of people from church called to check on me. And on top of all of that the Lord has blessed me with with a guy who cares very much about me, or at least that's what he tells me. Just kidding! So, I guess I told you all of that just to say I have been blessed in more ways than I can even count. I love everyone of you! Thanks for reading my blog. ~Callie

Dakota's one day old pictures! LOL!

Byron Dakota Rawles
















Meet the newest addition to the Rawles family! Isn't he cute? I have more, but this thing won't let me upload anymore pictures! LOL! Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Paw Paw's 70th B-day!




These pictures are very special! My Paw Paw is one of the strongest men I know. At one time we didn't know if he was going live, so these pictures are priceless treasures! Paw Paw had a heart attack and two strokes several years ago and had to have open heart surgery. After he had his surgery he was not able to get out of bed and ended up with blood clots in his legs. When he was able to move again the blood clots moved and went to his brain. He lost most of his vision and all of his short term memory. It's hard to see that happen to him not only because he's my grandpa but also because he served the Lord for so long and now is not able to continue doing so. I was even angry with God for letting it happen at the time, but after alot of praying I realized God has a plan even when we can't see it!

Please pray for him! He is so special to us and it was such a joy to be able to celebrate his b-day with the church!










These pictures were taken the same day, but they don't really fit in Corey's swearing in! LOL! They're just for fun!

Corey!







It has been a while so I have some catching up to do! First is Corey's swearing in! He's so cute sometimes! (For my brother!) LOL!
