Our precious oldest grandchild turned 20 years old this week. Anna Kathleen Discher (Kitty) is such a blessing to our family. When she was born, she was instantly a force to be reckoned with! Her mother and father chose natural childbirth, and what a difference that was for this grandmother! My babies were drowsy and placid when they came forth. Kitty -- she was alert and bright and interested in the world from the first moment!! Literally! And she has been ever since.
Kitty is proof in our sovereign God's providential hand. She has been a wonderful first grandchild for our 22 (on earth) grandbabies to follow. She leads by her beautiful example. She is not shy to speak to any of them with words of wisdom borne of her walk with the Lord and the faithful pouring into her life by her dear parents.
Thank you, Lord, for the precious life of this beautiful maiden of virtue! We love you, Kitty!p://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ghKK5qlxF58/SXvFQ1fPbmI/AAAAAAAAA0w/EceSfQrv29k/s1600-h/DSC00803.jpg">
Kitty, Queen of . . . . . . ummm, Sillyland??
The Stricklens spent last Saturday at the Brooksville Raid re-enactment. The girls love to dress up and feel like they have been taken back in time. Even little CJ, in his "general's" uniform, gets into the act! They highly recommend the Brooksville FL event -- they said the organizers spend lots of time informing of the history behind the event.
Katie sent me this picture from Arkansas. I can just see it in the Yellville Gazette, or some such publication: "The Miller Boys, Joseph and Samuel, prepare for a day in the woods. More venison for the freezer, boys!" Oh, how we miss those little faces!
Well, that's This and That til next time! Thank you, Lord, for my contented life!

Those were sweet pictures! I'm sure Kitty was thrilled with her "coronation". I'll send you more pictures of the Miller faces soon!
Love,
Katie
Thank you, Markie and Katie! Markie, I think your silly sister was a little "slap-happy" after all those crafts before Savannah's party! She was just being her usual, unique self!
Send on those pictures, Millers! This one in particular was so adorable -- don't they look like little men? "Gotta go get provisions for the family!"
Love, Mama/Grandmama
Oh! What a sweet post. I will never forget that day - our family's first natural birth (well, first birth at all, but also our introduction to natural childbirth.
You were so wonderful - just like you have been with all of them - reading the scriptures, holding my hand. Kitty sure WAS a perky baby, wasn't she? I remember being almost scared of her - wondering if I could do the job and raise her for the Lord. There again, you were such a source of strength. You assured me that the Lord would give the grace to do the task set before us! And He did!
The Stricklens picture is so nice. I am glad they went. CJ looks like he wants to get in on some of that action!
Those Miller boys - ready for the Davy Crockett life. That is such a precious picture!
Love,
Beth
Yes, Kitty certainly was intended by the Lord to be the eldest grandchild and she carries the torch for the crew well.
We are so proud of her as well.
Loved the picture from the Ozarks of those Miller hunters!
We did have a great time in Brooksville :)
Dittos to everything Beth said about your support in childbirth and child-rearing. What a BLESS-ED mother you are to us.
Love you,
Molly
