Oswalt Update

Hello,



The above picture was taken in August. I am so behind on updating here. The picture was taken by our favorite echo techs Kristin. We went to America's Incredible Pizza Company in Germantown. We got away for a day in August and took the boys and our niece Alli Mann to have fun. Despite Carter's face we did have a good time!!!



I am home today because Carter has a stomach bug. Bo and Benjamin had it Friday...Carter and Emily started with symptoms late last night and early this morning. Charlene, Spencer and myself so far are safe!!!



Wonderful Maggie is here visiting for a few days. We love her. She just finally after 7 months showed me how to sew!!! Yay!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Playing Catch up

Hello!

Below are some photos from one of the last Shawa/Oswalt gatherings in Oxford before the fire. I am going to try to update the blog with all that has been going on since right before the fire, the fire, and then afterwards.



This was a day filled with Charlene watching the kiddos while I worked and the men were away...maybe Jason at a conference and Bo working on the parsonage. We ended the evening with lots of playing outside and music time....

And yes....I am in major Oxford withdrawals...

What do a gas station, jumper cables and 2 oxygen tanks have in common???

Hello Folks!

I know you are all thinking...."what is up with this post title?" Well....picture my best girl friend Charlene Shawa and I at a gas station....we pause for a moment to talk, I get out and pump gas....the vehicle then refuses to crank...we search numerous outlets for jumper cables...and get nothing. We finally find some darling girl from Colorado...she hooks us up and cranks her vehicle and I go to crank mine and nothing happens....except smoke starts bellowing out from the jumper cables....and then they begin to burst into flames....wow!!!!

I of course in fire mode remove the vera bags, cell phones and an ipod as well as 2 tanks of oxygen from the vehicle....how far from a gas station do you actually move 2 oxygen tanks so they will not blow??? Looking back...moving them now seems funny....at the time - not so much!!!!

Continue picturing with me a gas attendant tossing me a fire extinguisher and I put the fire out. Did I mention that we had both doors open and the sun roof open....yay for fire extinguisher dust!!!!!!

So, a serious detail job, a new battery and a $1700 estimate later here I am!!!!

At random points throughout the next day Charlene would look at me and say, "gas station, oxygen tanks, fire...how did we survive???" Precious!!!!

We are all finally back in Starkville. Bo and I spent the day organizing and cleaning....he did an excellent job and worked so hard! We had Rita and Jim and Nikki, Jeffrey, and Alli over tonight. Nikki and I cooked and we all had Wii therapy.

Spencer is actually quite the little Wii player. He actually beat me in boxing and Jeff in bowling....he is very competitive! Wonder where in the world he gets it!!!

Truman is having some issues...still working on the whole house training thing but got into the cat food 2 days ago and his belly is still not so right...if he is not better tomorrow will go vist Dr. Renee.

Ella is precious. She has discovered the outdoors...we were hoping to get her declawed but her newfound love for the outdoors has to go away first.

Carter is doing well. Still a nasty cough...but well none the less.

Am off to bed...

Lindy

Long Time NO Post!!!

Hello World,

We are back...I hope. I am going to try to get back to this blogging thing. I know I need the therapy. So life has continued to be a rollercoaster. Since the last post we had a house fire...if that is the correct grammer! We have moved. I am through working for other...on a full self employed journey right now. We have been on a vacation with our wonderful friends the Shawas. We are living finally in the Self Creek Baptist Church parsonage. We have gotten 2 pets....whew....life has been seriously busy.

So, we are good. God is great and we are so thankful that His mercies are new every morning!!!

Life is still very tough. Yesterday was Andrew's scheduled C-section...I cannot tell you how my heart breaks for that little one that I didn't fully get to know.

Things have been so constantly just trying and fully of immense suffering that Bo and I have had such a difficult time thinking and feeling things. Those that know me and my counseling will laugh! BUT it is so true. We are really excited about being on this journey that God has called us too at Self Creek. How exciting it is to see God at work.

I will post more later....I just wanted to add a pic and say hi!!!

Believing,

Lindy

Ramblings of Lindy

Below is the post from Carter's webstie. I promise soon the blog will get back to fun things we are doing as a family...but for now we take a moment to grieve...

Thursday, March 20, 2008 10:38 PM
Dear ones,I wanted to take a moment and let you know that Carter is maybe a little better. He has had longer stints off of the oxygen. Today was the longest...he is resting peacefully right now without it. He played very hard today with his buddy Benjamin...I think you can call it playing...they coexisted until the other one started bossing the other one around...I wanted to clear up some confusion. Anyone who wants to join us is welcome tomorrow as we lay precious Andrew's earthly body to rest. It is closed casket and all services will be at the graveside. Bo and I realize that this is all for the praise and glory of God and that Andrew is more than just ours. Never would we close ourselves off...we learned that life is larger than we realize almost 4 years ago when Carter Mac was born.If you wanted an update on us you just received it. From here on down are things that I feel pressed to share.I have been promising an update from me on things God is doing in my life for a few weeks now. Feb. 28th is the date to be exact since I promised. I read something in my quiet time with God that touched me deeply and so related to the things we go through with Carter. Little did I know how true those things would be even on a day like today or a day one week ago or better yet, a day like tomorrow. "Why am I so depressed? Why this turmoil within me? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God" Psalm 42:5"Then I will come to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the lyre, God, my God." Psalm 43:4I often pick up a book by David Nasser titled "Glory Revealed." I have picked this book up on and off since Fall of last year when we were in Nashville for the second time.The book is about different times/ways in our lives where God's Glory is revealed. There have been several that have touched me deeply...but the one from late Feb. is "Glory Revealed through Declaration."David says, "I often love to start a worship service by getting people on their feet and asking them to shout out specific attributes of God. I say, 'What has God been to you? Who has he revealed himself to be?' But most importantly, I ask them, 'Who do you need him to be?' I do this because there is much power in declaration. Power in rehearsing the things you may not feel at the moment but you know are true. It's because simply saying out loud the things you need to hear goes a long way in preparing the spirit for things to be that way. It's the power of the tongue. Psalm 42 is most famous for, 'As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, God.' But it goes on to say, 'My tears have been my food day and night, while all day long people say to me, "Where is your God?"' (v.3). Not the content of your average worship song.Most psalms are songs of lament and honesty, but we don't hear about those too often. The ones written from the mountaintops of life tend to win popularity contest. But some of the most useful truths are in the psalms written from the valleys. Lament is a powerful tool that God uses to draw us nearer to him. A while back Michael Card gave an interview in Christianity Today that really struck me. The whole interview was about sorrow, lament, and suffering - not something we read about a whole lot. A series of events led Michael to a season in his life pondering the mystery of suffering and what God's role was in it. He came to the conclusion that we can't understand God's worth without experiencing woundedness. God's worth is found in the desert, not in the picnic grounds.Michael tells a story of a pastor friend who was paralyzed in an auto accident while out on a pastoral call. There was no obvious rhyme or reason to the tragedy - it just happened. When his friend began to cry out to God and experience his prescience, his cries changed. 'You don't have to heal me. Just don't leave me!' His friend learned that the presence of God was much more vital than God's provision.What would happen if, in the middle of our lament, we grasped that God was really what we needed? What if our sorrow turned to declaration about his goodness? What if we ignored our feelings and, with our lips moved on to the part where we honor God for everything he is?Alone discouraged, finding himself clearly at the bottom, King David was dangerously close to giving up. He could have stuck his head in the sand and prayed for the buzzards to come and deliver him from his misery. But instead he gave himself a wake- up call. David picked himself up by the bootstraps and ordered himself to place his hope in God. 'Why am I so depressed? Why this turmoil within me? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God." Psalm 42:5Here was David in the middle of depression and despair, and the psalmist is actually preaching to himself. he more or less says, 'This is not how I feel right now, but this is how I am.' Our feelings are fickle, but our God is constant. Sometimes we just have to rehearse the truth out loud."There is so much truth in what you just read. I saw so much of our journey with Carter in this writing of David Nassar. So many times where after all of our calling out to God all we had the strength to do was rehearse out loud (whether in a parent room or our room at the Ronald McDonald house or on this website or to a dear one on the phone) the things we know to be true about God but we didn't feel at the time. So as I come to you tonight I look at this writing and still see so much of our journey with Carter. I must confess, I have walked this particular path in my imagination at least 10 times when Carter has been so close to death. I have his funeral planned, I have tried to imagine these feelings concerning him...if this was the day before I laid his body to rest...but never had I thought for a moment that I would be doing this with our dear little unknown Andrew. Not the one that showed much life on the monitors time and time again. Not the one whose little body checked out to be 100erfect. But here I sit. But here I type. This chapter God is writing in our lives right this moment is not one that people will recall over and over. Here in this fast paced society we take just the moments for the good stuff and we push the sadness to the side as quickly as possible. This is a chapter that we could not have predicted. This is a chapter we never would have chosen. We, like King David, could put our heads in the sands and give up.The counselor in me has to disagree a smidgen with David Nassar when he writes "our feelings are fickle, but our God is constant." I promise all who are taking time to read this that my feelings right now are far from fickle. Every emotion that I walk others through that I work with that are grieving, I promise I am experiencing and I promise fickle is not a word close to my vocabulary right now. But I wholeheartedly agree that our God is constant.I do not know how long my arms will ache for a child I held for just a moment in time in my arms. I do not know how long my womb will cease to bear a newborn life into our lives that will bring joy. I do know that my God is constant. I do know that in the middle of lament right now, in the middle of my heart being broken and my breathe being taken at times out of my body that God is really what I need. I know that He is good and I know that I want my lips to proclaim His goodness. I know that I desire to honor Him for everything He is. He is my Jehovah Rapha and He will guide me through the healing that I need. He will use my sadness to grow me and to change me and to make me less like me and more like Him. I know that he promises that I will forget my suffering, recalling it only as waters that have flowed by (Job 11:16).My prayer is that if your eyes have made it this far in the longest post in my history that you know Him for who He is. If you do not, please seek the answers today. My email address is here on this page...email and Bo and I will pray for you and lift you up as you seek answers for your life. A website with some more information is http://www.sbc.net/knowjesus/ . I cannot tell you how reassuring it is to look my beautiful (he would correct me and say he is handsome) Spencer into those crystal blue eyes and say with assurance that we have hope. To say that with confidence through the pain God has a plan and it is good, it is good, it is good. How I pray you can say the same.Broken but believing,Lindy for her man and her boys (Bo, Spencer,Carter, angel Ethan and angel Andrew)

Andrew's Service Time

Andrew Hayes Oswalt
March 14, 2008
1 lb 2 ounces
12 inches long

There will be a graveside service at 1pm on Friday, March 21, 2008 at 1pm at Self Creek Baptist Church Cemetery in Maben, Mississippi.

There will be a small nursery provided for those unable to find childcare.

We will post directions to the church cemetery later. I know people were wanting to know when the service was going to be held.

Carter saw Dr. Molly today. His chest x-ray looks good. We are still waiting on the call for blood work. She agreed that he sounded junky. She said to keep doing what we are doing. We will possibly do an antibiotic if blood work calls for it.

We are attempting normalcy this afternoon by attending Spencer's first official soccer game.

I will try to post directions on here later.

I am doing as well as to be expected. Yesterday was tough physically and emotionally. Today physically is a little better in some ways and a little worse in others. Emotionally about the same.

Believing,
Lindy for The Oswalts

About Andrew

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

That is the scripture at the top of the Nason's blog. (link is on the right) I could not think of another verse that sums up what I am "striving" for today. I just can't rely on my own feelings and hurt right now. It makes so much more sense to just hand it all over to my Holy Daddy who loves me and hurts when I am hurting. My "understanding" of why this has all happened and how much more can we endure is woefully inadequate. I simply will trust in God and acknowledge that He knows far better than we. His hand is guiding our steps even now. We rest in the shadow of His healing wings.

Andrew was and is a beautiful little boy. He weighed only 1 lb and 2 oz and was 12 inches in length, but was formed perfectly in every way. He bears a striking resemblance to his older brothers, though they will sadly never run and play together. His mother's grief is intense; he will never know the warmth and safety of her embrace. Her arms are so empty. I will forever cherish the memory of the scent of his body after he had been cleaned. I pray that it will linger forever in my mind. I hope that I can remember the way his skin felt against my lips when I kissed him. He was so tiny, but mine nonetheless

A graveside service will be held on Friday afternoon (time yet to be determined) at the Self Creek Baptist Church cemetery. Please continue to pray for us as we rely on God's providence in our lives.

Always Andrew's dad,

Bo

An American Hero!

Okay,

I know that you all have been holding your breath for me to post today after Huckabee conceded and McCain has been crowned the GOP nominee. First of all, don't be sad for Gov Mike. He ran an excellent campaign and is a very talented individual. He has a bright future ahead of him (though I do not pretend to know what it is!) Secondly, I do have a sense of "I told you so..." in arguing with many seasoned political veterans (including a former Mississippi governor who shall go unnamed) and accomplished political science professors about McCain's chances at winning the Republican nomination despite some perceived unconservative stances and recent financial shortcomings. In short, I am justified in my political philosophy and opinion. :P

Also, I am proud to say that Sen McCain has strong Mississippi roots!!! His grandfather, Admiral John S McCain Sr, is from Carrollton, MS. He was the commander of the Pacific Fleet during World War II. Camp McCain, near Grenada, is named for him, as is McCain Field at the Naval Air Station in Meridian. McCain (the grandfather) also attended Ole Miss. Because of these strong ties to the state, Trent Lott referred to Sen. McCain as the "third Senator from Mississippi" at a lecture that I attended that they both gave here on campus at the Ford Center in 2005. (The Ford Center is also where he will first debate the Dem nominee in September!

Okay, digest this information. I will share more about him in the coming days, along with providing wonderful and pithy commentary to accompany the information. We are all well here in Oxford. Us boys got haircuts today. We needed them desperately! Harley even went to the doggy spa yesterday for a trim! New pictures to come soon.

The Oswalt Shawas

Hello!

Two recent pics of all 4 kiddos!!!

Jason and Bo were outside being manly and changing the belt on the car. Thank you Jason for your help!!!

Charlene and I were inside with the little ones...

None of them obviously posed...maybe Spencer...

Here I appreciate Emily's look...and Benjamin "pretending" to drink so I would not ask him to pose....ridiculous!

Yesterday was good. We had fun at LeBonheur with everyone. It is always wonderful to visit and not have to be inpatient!!! What a blast to be involved in a small part of Walmart/Sam's Club day. Bo did an excellent job speaking and letting them know how important their fundraising is to the Children's Miracle Network and especially Le Bonheur.

There was a small time frame where someone was running late...so somehow (Kavenaugh) both Oswalt children ended up on the stage in front of everyone...Carter didn't care...had his own agenda. Spencer however took the time to entertain. First there was some of his dry sarcasm...then his show ended with him doing his white boy dancing...bless him. The more the crowd laughed and clapped the more he did... It was funny to say the least!!! I am not sure what I am going to do with these 2 when they are teens!!!

I am home today. I feel as if my sinuses are going to explode in my face!!! I hate using all my days, even if I just have a few months left to work. I never know when I am really going to need them. Bo is doing well. He is almost 1 week down on the Southbeach diet. He is a trooper. It is REALLY helping is diabetes...this is something we are all thankful for. The last year of stress and hospital eating has not made it easy for him to control his diabetes. Maggie has been his dieting partner this week. I can safely join them in week 3.

We purchased a digital video camcorder yesterday. We have been wanting one since we started Carter's website 2 years ago, but just now have been able to afford it/work it into the budget. So soon there should be some cute videos of the boys on here.

We are about to go pick up the Lookout as Spencer calls it and return the rental car. We will spend some time with Maggie this afternoon and then Bo and I are having adult dinner with Jason and Charlene. I am secretly hoping they hang out a bit and let Maggie teach them to play Canasta...I love a good card game!

Okay...hope you all have a great weekend. We are heading to Grenada in the morning so we will be in town for Sally Saulters and Brian Ray's engagement party. We will get to worship at FBC Grenada on Sunday and just enjoy being with family for a bit. I am hoping we get to love on Baby Rilee some...

Weekend pics and videos to come...

Chillin in G-town

Hey guys,

We boys have been hanging in Grenada for the past couple of days. It has been nice to visit with family here. The boys have ate it up, of course. I think that it has been about three weeks since we were here last. Carter has been showing off his new found energy to everyone. Spencer has regressed in age at least two years since he has been here. He and Momma Mack are NO GOOD for each other. (just kidding, but not really) Carter has eaten everything in site much to Nanna and Momma Mack's delight! We will leave in the morning headed back to Oxford to pick up Lindy Lou and then head to Memphis. We will spend the day with the LeBonheur Foundation at a thank you celebration for WalMart for their generous support of the hospital. I will speak to them tomorrow afternoon; it should be a lot of fun. We are back in Grenada this weekend for Sally and Brian's Engagement Party! We are really looking forward to that.

For those interested, I am starting to hear more and more chatter about Haley Barbour being on McCain's shortlist for VP. Should be interesting to see how things turn out! Regardless if Haley is the pick or not I think that McCain MUST look for three things in a potential running mate to address his main weaknesses. This is to help "balance" the ticket.

1. He needs solid executive experience (i.e. a successful governor or big time mayor) because McCain doesn't have any.
2. He ABSOLUTELY has got to be someone that conservatives can totally trust on social and economic issues. (because of distrust among conservatives about McCain)
3. He needs to be several years younger than the 71 year old McCain who will be the oldest first term President ever elected should he win in November.

Several up and coming Republicans fit these criteria, as does Gov Barbour. Whoever McCain picks will most likely fit into this mold. It also wouldn't hurt if the VP nominee was NOT a white man. Unfortunately, the party of Reagan is not overflowing with those types of candidates.

Bo

The Weekend

Hello,

It has been a good weekend here in the Oswalt home. We visited with the Shawas on Friday. The men went to catch a movie and have some guy time. Char and I managed the 4 little ones! Wow what a loud time was had!!! Poor little Emily has been covered in hives from a cold she has had...we checked with Dr. Molly before our play date...she gave us the all clear (that is for the grandmothers reading the blog!!!).

We slept in some on Saturday and then headed to the Beacon here in Oxford for a late breakfast...Carter is so impatient. Here at the house I sing whenever something is missing "Where oh where could ____be?" or I say "If I were _____, where would I be?" Well, Carter sang the where oh where song until his food arrived!!! What a riot! Spencer however is very much my child. He wanted the rest of us to just talk! So we took turns talking about different topics. Carter only wanted to talk about where his food was when it was his turn.

We then headed to a few stores looking for me some tennis shoes and we stopped into Treehouse toys on the square. We then very quickly took a cranky Carter and a somewhat cranky Spencer home to get a nap.

We visited with Maggie the rest of the afternoon. She washed clothes and taught me to play Canasta. She grew up playing it and kicked my butt. By the time I caught on the game was over...she won like 7400 something to 24oo something....next time I will get her!!!

We slept in this morning. We are going to the Orchard Church here in Oxford. They have duplicate services at 10:30 and 6pm so we have opted for the 6pm service. Maggie works with youth at this church.

Well...I got sidetracked and just now got back here to finish this post. We had a great time at church. It is always so good to be in God's house fellowshipping and opening God's word. We are spoiled forever since we have been under Kevin Jackson's preaching and are very picky...but tonight was not bad at all!

The boys are quietly sleeping. Earlier they were carrying their "babies" - Spencer a bear in pajamas and Carter his new Tigger. They were sitting in the floor side by side rocking them. Good play therapy as we all prepare for a new little one. Poor Andrew has no idea what he is being born into!!!

Bo is currently researching the South Beach Diet. He convinced Maggie to join him. I am going to do a modified South Beach so cooking will be easy. Phase 2 is safe for me but not the first Phase.


Here is a pic of the boys from this morning. They play really well together with a few fights here and there. The fights are usually Carter not getting his way. Spencer is an amazing big brother. Depraved still, but amazing. Carter bit him this morning. Shocking behavior for Carter, but it was handled with a time out and a pop of the diaper. Followed by some great snuggling and family time in the bed. We listened to Andrew's heart beat. They are both so excited!!!

Okay, I need to go rest so I can get up and tackle tomorrow.

Please go to Carter's medical website and then go to Benjamin Shawa's website...we will have Emily in the morning so they can go for Benjamin's 6 month heart echo. Pray all works well for them.

Signing off...

McCain and the NYT

Okay, I can't say that I am surprised that the NY Times unloaded on McCain now that he is the presumptive Republican nominee. It was bound to happen eventually! I actually think that it will help him tremendously with the conservative base, which has been a problem thus far. McCain and the conservatives now have a common enemy (ie. the liberal media) and they finally can lock arms and march hand in hand. I believe that this is exactly what McCain needs to move forward. I mean Rush Limbaugh has been defending Mac for the past 24 hours. That in itself is no small matter. The article was very sloppy and thin on evidence anyway. The McCain campaign did an outstanding job of responding to the hit job. I think that really impressed a lot of people how quick and agile they were in taking out the trash. I even got a fundraising email late yesterday from the campaign using the NYT article as means raise money. On a side note, it was extremely interesting to watch Mike Huckabee responding to the claims against Mac. It was almost like he was begging McCain to "pick me, pick me". I mean he scheduled a press conference to say what an upstanding guy McCain was. Good grief!

We are doing well here in the Oswalt home. Jason (Shawa) and I went to see Vantage Point tonight; it is well worth watching. It was good to get out and relax for awhile also. If you are in the mood for some good food in Oxford, I had the shrimp and grits at Boure. I recommend it highly! The conversation on various theology related matters was good also. I have a lot to learn, I must admit! Okay, I am done rambling. This blogging thing is therapeutic, I think. Don't tell Lindy.

Bo

Andrew's Birthday!

Hey all,

Just a quick post to let you know that Lindy's OB appointment went well this morning. The big news is that we have an arrival date for baby Andrew. He will be born via C-section on Monday, July 7th, 2008. We are already more than half way there!

Bo

Random Thoughts

Hi, Bo here...

Thought that I would add my voice to this Blog. We have Emily Shawa with us today. She is staying here while Jason and Charlene take Benjamin to the doctor in Memphis. Surprisingly, she and Carter have gotten along really well so far. Spencer is at school. He had spring pictures today and class pictures also. He looked so handsome when he left this morning. They were also going to the Oxford Library today. I am sure that he will have plenty of interesting things to tell when he gets home around 1.

Okay, I can't decide whether Mike Huckabee is helping or hurting John McCain by staying in the race at this point. And for that matter, WHY is he staying in the race? I don't think that he is helping himself with the VP nod because it seems to be ticking ole Johnny Mac off a bit. I mean, there is absolutely NO chance for him to get enough delegates to secure the nomination. McCain has it pretty much in the bag at this point. On the other hand, it does help to keep McCain in the spotlight with the Democrat nomination still up in the air. But McCain could be focusing more on hitting the Democrats if he didn't have to play these silly games with Huckabee. Goodness knows, he has an uphill battle against whomever the Dem nominee is with the incredible turnout and fundraising that they have enjoyed this primary season. W really has damaged the Republican party in a pretty severe way. I can't see his legacy being too kind to him! Oh and by the way, I would like to remind everyone (as I will quite frequently) that I have consistantly been a McCain supporter since BEFORE Bush in 2000.

Thats all for now!

Bo

Two Days In a Row!

Hello,

Just about to start getting ready for work. Wanted to put some of my recent favorite pics on here! The one below is of Carter Mac sitting in one of the new chairs from Christmas. He and Spencer (mostly Spencer) were playing Vtech. Some of you know my dad's side of the fam. My grandfather was a tall skinny lanky man to say the least. During the war he was nicknamed Grasshopper. He was a welder by trade and when he squatted, his legs were so long they came up around his ears and he looked like a grasshopper. Grandpa was famous for always having his legs crossed...this picture here is a typical Grasshopper pic...I thought it was too cute. Carter is also famous for having his legs crossed...especially in a hospital bed. And of course there is the famous Harley D in the bottom of the pic! He is a funny strange little dog!



Here is precious Spencer with new cousin Rylee. He was too cute trying to piece together that she was no longer in T's belly and that a baby really came from there....When Andrew arrives it should be interesting!


Praying you all have a great day!

I need to show this to Bo today so he can come post a great political opinion! Maybe even a religious one too!


Tootles!

Lindy

Still trying to get the hang of this...

Hello,

I have not been successful in telling Bo about this or letting really anyone know about this blog. Still trying to get the hang of it for myself and see how it works. Nothing I dislike more than someone advertising and then not ever updating...we already have a rough time updating Carter's website.

We did find out this week that the next Oswalt baby is a boy. Andrew Hayes Oswalt. He will arrive sometime this summer. Haven't really talked that over with Dr. Hunt yet but he will arrive via c-section so we just need to set a date and roll with it.

Carter and I have spent a lovely weekend here at the house. Bo preached at Self Creek Baptist Church again this weekend. Spencer I am sure is getting very spoiled by the fam!

Until Later!

Lindy

Here we go

Okay,

I know we have Carter's website...but I thought this would be fun for Bo to post his political comments and to get some fun stuff that we are doing that has nothing to do with Carter being sick....so here we go...
