Anyway, I'd like to take you back in time, on a journey with us, as we experienced wonderful things in our lives and ministry in the month of March. March was an exciting month...not only did it include weeks and weeks of traveling and special meetings (in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland and West Virginia)....BUT....March is also the month that Caleb and I celebrated our 3-year wedding anniversary (March 20) and on that SAME day, David celebrated his 6-month birthday!! David hit many milestones this month: he's sitting up better, can stand up while holding onto something (with supervision, of course!). He also got 2 bottom teeth and he started eating baby cereal! AND he went to the park and rode on a swing for the first time! He loved it! We are so thankful for our little guy and how well he does traveling! He has met so many people and made so many friends! What a life, huh? He is one blessed, loved little boy! Enjoy these snap shots of our lives in the month of March!

 |
| On March 3, we had a great "Spring Into Church" Sunday (despite the snow!) at Fellowship Baptist Church in Bedford, KY. |
 |
| Caleb and Pastor Sam Epley, one of Caleb's best friends. |
 |
| On Monday, we went to the Creation Museum using free passes from a friend. |
 |
David sat up (with the help of his hands!) for the first time
on Monday night, March 4! (5 1/2 months old) |
 |
| We enjoyed getting to visit our dear friends, the Bontragers, who also travel out of our church in Iowa. They sing concerts all around the country! |

Their concert was amazing!!   where he was staying for a couple days between meetings. 
We were with Bible Baptist Church, also in TN, on Weds. March 13. This church was started by Gil Bates (from "United Bates of America" on TLC) a few months ago and has a neat story behind how they got this space to rent from the hotel. They are praying for God to provide a real building soon!
We enjoyed dinner at Cracker Barrel after the service. Great time of fellowship
with Bro. Gil and Kelly Bates and 2 of their 19 kids!
The next day, we had a great lunch with the Bates before heading on down the road.
They loved David!
Carlin Bates is a good friend and "pen-pal" of mine and she was so excited to
finally get to meet David! As you can imagine, she's quite a natural when it comes to babies :)
 David enjoyed all the attention from his big cousins, Emily (8) and Grant (2)! 
At 25 weeks old, David ate baby cereal for the first time!
Emily and Grant at the park one sunny 80 degree day!
David's first time riding in a swing!!
 We are so thankful for our wonderful family! (Bruce, Rebekah, Emily and Grant Garraway) 
Brothers ;)
I love my little Emily!
Our family
Emily helped me a lot in the kitchen that week!

On Weds., March 20, David turned 6 months old! Check out our special blog post to see
more pictures from his 6-month photo shoot by Mommy!
 
That night, on March 20, we had great services at Calvary Baptist in Loganville, GA.
We had great services at Victorious Valley Home and Church in North Carolina...but I don't think I got any pictures! :(
Oh well....after NC, our next stop was Maryland! One night we got to visit some
good friends of ours, Serge and Pam Daza and their kids, Gracie and Dougie!

So thankful for our precious son and how well he does on the road with us!
