Sarah's 2nd Birthday
CLICK ANY PHOTO FOR FULL SCREEN VIEWSarah just had her 2nd Birthday! Paw Paw was slow to post the beautiful pictures that Jennifer took so when I got around to the task Aunt Shirley was waiting for them to appear as she was talking to Gram Gram on the phone. Shortly after I hit the Upload Button I received the following email from Sarah's Mama:
"I have kept a check on your web albums hoping the pictures would go up soon, so I checked tonight and there they were! Sarah and I enjoyed them so much... and the cool thing was as we were looking at the pictures she was telling me what was happening. Then without me saying a word she said "mama my birthday" - it was so neat! I then refreshed the page to look at them again and more were up! It was so cool - you were putting them on as we were looking at them! One of my favorites was when her mouth/cheeks were all puffed up to blow out her candles!! The moment was caught so perfectly!!"
Paw Paw was so glad that Jennifer was the party Photographer. Her talent never ceases to amaze me!
Charlie's Birthday
Charlie met a milestone in his life today - he became the same age that Carolyn was when she birthed him! My day was made by floating in the pool and watching Charlie throw Sarah into the air and catch her just as she was about to hit the water. Each time he caught her she said "Agin" so he wore himself out doing this and playing basketball in the deep end with his Captain Carter.

Jenn and Chris Wedding - October 4, 2008
.jpg)
Chris and Jennifer are Married!
Daufuskie Island, the Secret Sister of Hilton Head Island, is one of the most exciting, enchanting, and exotic destinations for a wedding which can only be reached by ferry and just 1 nautical mile from Hilton Head Island, is a sub-tropical island with miles of wide, secluded sandy beaches and beautiful forests. This enchanting island paradise offers a magical retreat into an exotic world of natural splendor and serenity. With only a few hundred year round residents, and nary a car to be found, the golf cart becomes the basic form of transportation around the resort and for exploring the island. In this quiet peaceful environment, devoid of the hustle and bustle of the real world, was a perfect way for Jenn and Chris to start a new relationship in celebration of their marriage.
Sea Oak Manor, the main resort lodge on Daufuskie Island, was an incredible venue for their dream wedding, a magnificent estate situated on acres of oceanfront property with a picturesque famous wedding Gazebo for their seashore wedding dream. The excitement started early in the morning of October 4, 2008, with Jenn and Chuck waiting behind the wall of windows in the Manor looking out at our families waiting in front of the Gazebo at the edge of the ocean. Chris and Navy Chaplain Ben Sandford were looking towards us, both knowing that they would soon become brothers. The seashore wedding dream was to begin just as Sunrise broke over the water with the blue sky overhead and the sound of the waves lazily rolling on shore of the beautiful beach.
Carolyn and I, along with Chuck, Kim, and little Sarah, were surprised to be invited to stay an extra day to chill out with the Bride and Groom in their beautiful ocean front cottage. We arose early the next morning to again experience the beautiful sunrise with a long walk on the beach. Chris and Jenn got to stay the rest of the week for their honeymoon.
Jenn and Chris Family Wedding Reception
Carolyn, Charlie, Kim, little Sarah, and I hosted a small Family Wedding Reception at our home for Jenn and Chris on Saturday, December 6, 2008.
I was thrilled that my brother Doug and Arlette were able to come. Chris's sister Tina and her husband Aaron introduced us to Aaron's parents, Jim and Edith Hunt. It is so wonderful to have them as part of our family!
Jennifer came early to help prepare the food. Danny and Barbara, Shirley and Gene, and Beaner also came in the late morning to help put it all together. Sarah Sain, Connie Surratt, Donna Askew, and Connie Stone were here to share in our celebration along with my good friend Ellie Price. Connie took pictures for us. Our little Sarah was so precious as usual and entertained us all.

BIBLE SERVICES
The purpose of the meetings is to awaken a deeper interest in the Bible, in the truth that Jesus Christ lived and taught, to bring the faith of Jesus to those who do not have it, and to strengthen the faith of those who do. No appeals are made for money; no books are for sale. We are not here to condemn, but to help. These services are reverent, scriptural and brief. We are in fellowship with Christians all over the world whose worship is the same as those we read of in the New Testament. We take no name other than the name of Jesus.
ALL ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND

Carolyn's Birthday
This is a later addition to my post that I could not
resist. A week after Carolyn's birthday as she was checking out in her favorite grocery store the clerk asked her, "Would you like to take your Senior Citizen discount?' After 28 years of marraige I am finally not that much older than my wonderful wife! I can actually say at 68 years of age that I have NOT been asked that question in a grocery store! Just for fun!
Carolyn's Birthday was another nice family day. This year the highlight was our little Sarah Colleen Porter! Grandma could not have been any happier! Of couse now she can get free checking and order from the Senior's menu. For some reason she is still 12 years younger than Grandpa. Jennifer - thank you for the wonderful lunch.

Sarah's Laser Surgery in New York
Sarah's first Laser Surgery in New York was very successful! Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma got to go too! During the surgery they used a laparascope to check her airway and found no sign of the Hemangiomas which was really good news. The next day Dr. Waner gave us a good report - the next laser surgery is scheduled for 2/13/08.
We thank our family and friends so very much for their prayers and support!
Charlie has set up a Special Blog Site that covers their battle with Hemangiomas in detail so others may follow their progress and understand what they have gone through since little Sarah's birth. It is an interesting story that underlines the importance of early and correct diagnosis of Hemangiomas. Their blog is dedicated to couples searching for help for their child with Hemangiomas!
Pictures of our New York trip are on our Web Albums.
