We Made It

Lots going on

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all of the wonderful comments on the pictures.  Aren't the girls beautiful?  I have lots more photos but I am going to only post a few each evening.  I'll be visiting Pete and Emily mid-January so I'll be able to shoot a new batch then!

I hope to write a longer post in the very near future about another something exciting!  My church has moved into its "new to us" permanent location in downtown Royal Oak.  It has been very exciting and I can't wait to fill you in on all the details - they are extraordinary in my opinion.  That will be for another post though.  Also, I will be recording one new song on our church's next cd in just a couple of weeks.  I was hoping to record two songs but I just wasn't able to finish all the details yet on a song from Ezekiel 37.   If you haven't read this passage I would encourage you to do so - it has become one of my favorites.  The song I am recording is titled Cry Out Of Romans.  I think this might be one of the best songs that I have written yet.  My friend Jonathan is playing the guitar and Carol will be adding in piano.  I'll be posting about the process as we move toward January 29th.

On a totally separate note, we had our first decent snow here in Detroit and I was thrilled to use my yooper scooper.  I was able to clear the entire drive without breaking a sweat in about 10 minutes.  I love my scooper.  Even better, a neighbor down the street hooked up a plow to the front of his ATV and plowed the sidewalks up and down our entire block - it was such a gift to come home to after a long day at work!  Oh and my Dad was telling me today that there might be snow in Atlanta tomorrow.  Since there "might" be snow accumulation up to 1 inch they have cancelled school - of course, he said, there are all of about 10 snow plows in the entire state of Georgia.  He he he - Ha ha ha!  My students are dying for a snow day but I have assured them - we will have school tomorrow!

And More Photos from a truly fantastic trip!

A shocking jelly fish. Dad and I went a picked up coffee from Starbucks and the golf cart. And a farewell photo! Love you Mom and Dad!

More Photos from a truly fantastic trip!

Mom and Deedee at the Coca Cola Factory - I love the colors. This bottle of Coke was manufactured in Marquette, Michigan. A vibrant school of fish - and Carrie's FAVORITE sea creature: the Weedy Dragon cost's $65,000 to maintain a year because of it's diet of Australian Shrimp!

A truly fantastic trip!

We had a truly fantastic trip - better than I could have imagined! We laughed - and had so much fun. The first day I tried getting some close-up pictures of the deer. I love the one I captured below. Deedee, Mom, and I took a rest stop at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and a nice gentleman took our photo. Doesn't Mom look just soooo beautiful in this black and white photo - beautiful inside and out! And Carrie took on that Segway like a pro - she smiled the entire time! I am so thankful for the time that Mom and Dad provided for us girls in Atlanta. We can't wait to come again. Love, Tracy

Tracy and Friends come to visit!

Tracy on the Segway. Her first try!

Hello Everyone

This has been a very busy last two weeks. Tracy, Carrie, and Deedee came to visit for four days and we had a lot of fun! We went on the Segway tour of Atlanta and really enjoyed the city. We then went to the World of Coke Cola. It poured buckets of rain on the walk back to the car but we had a wonderful day and did not mind. The tasting was wonderful and the girls had a blast. The next day we went to Georgia Aquarium, Harry's market (where Alton Brown shops for food) and the Patagonia store in Buckhead. A full day but really good. We got home and the girls cooked dinner from all the goodies we got there. You should visit the Aquarium site because they have live web cams of several of the large fishes.

Here we are in front of the World of Coke. What fun!

Carrie and Deedee Love Love Love their Coke!

The other good news is that I passed my Social Work test. I have not wanted to take it for fear of not passing but with God's help and a lot of family and friends praying and a really lot of studying I passed with a 76% just what I asked God for. So I am now an official Social Work and can look for a part time job. I would like to work in at the Hospice here in Peachtree City. Then I could use my cart to visit homes in the area. That would be ideal! But I will wait to see what God has in mind for me.

We did hear some very sad news that Ken's Father had died. We are so sadden to hear this and want Ken to know we love him and hope he will have a calm journey through his grieving time. Love you Ken and Carol.

Well that is about all from the Nadeau's house in GA. The weather is wonderful we are in the low 80 or middle 70s in the day and at night it is in the low 70s high 60 just perfect! I hope you think about visiting this is the nice time of the year. take care of each other

Walking with the Dinosaurs

Hello

Well I rented my friend’s grandson and went to see “Walking with the Dinosaurs”! It was great. The puppets and Robots are so real looking and the program was educational, fun and sometimes scary. Cameron (who is five years old) was a lot of fun to take and his grandma Allison is always great to be with. We had a great time making sure that God got into the creation story being told. We ate at “The Varsity” which is the oldest and most famous drive thru restaurant in Atlanta. They have a lot of fried food and malts. I thought I was back in Happy Days TV show. I had hot wings, orange malt drink and what they call fry pies peach. I think it is a once in a life time experience. Not because you can’t go back but because you want it to be! I hope you enjoy the pictures. I took them with my phone but I think they came out really good.

Joy you should take the boys if you get a chance to see this. THEY WILL LOVE IT. The average age was about 10 but I think the parent enjoyed it as much if not more.

Take care
Love
Emily
