Law Enforcement 007

Greg & Sarah — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:23:51 +0000

We are in the last week of ALERT’s Law Enforcement class for this year – Class 007! This has been a GREAT class! God has taught all of us so much! What a SUPER group of guys! We praise the Lord for them and pray that as they go out they will go forth with God and live for His Glory!

This class will go down as Greg’s first one with Israel (who was born 3 days before it started!). The class before that Greg got married in the middle of it! :)

Way to go, 007!!!!!!! :)

A Visit!!!

The ALERT Mandreger’s and Overby’s were delighted with a visit from Melanie B and Rachel H recently!!!!! Granted it was a VERY short visit – but every little bit counts and helps!!!

It is such a miracle to me after so many precious years of friendship to see Mel and Rach holding Greg’s and my SON. As I told Mel,

“I still look at him

and go into his room while he sleeps

and am just

BLOWN AWAY

I just have no words

It’s the most miraculous thing I have ever known

Its like I tear up (on the inside) in absolute WONDER”

I am amazed by what my Lord has done!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are pics that Mel sent my way!!! Love you Malloo! Love you Rachel!!!

Ok! It’s time for another visit!!! :)

5 months ALREADY!

Snugglin’

Greg & Sarah — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 18:42:22 +0000

Take it from Momma: There’s just nothing like snuggling with Dad when you’re little (and when your ALL GROWN UP!)

And Momma loves snugglin’ too!

A First!

Little Israel got his first haircut yesterday! What a way to celebrate the 4th of July!!! Isn’t he the cutest lil’ man in the WORLD???! :)

Greg did a super job! :)

Happy 4th from the Mandregers!

Wednesday at the ZOO

Greg & Sarah — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:16:38 +0000

Dear Papa,

Today, Momma took me to the zoo for the very first time! Nana was there and Aunt Catherine and Savannie and Buddy and Aunt Halina and Matthew and Sarah. Momma took my picture with them! Momma was the lady standing behind the camera. She was thinking about Papa… :)

Here are my cousins Matthew and Sarah. They are SUCH FUN!

Here I am at the SNAKES!!!! It was AMAZING. Of course, I didn’t exactly SEE them cause I was getting a little “shut eye” :)

Here I am with my Nana!!!

Nana let me lay on her knee. :) It was SO MUCH FUN! I looked up – and THERE WAS MOMMA taking my picture!!!

Here are Aunt Catherine, Buddy and Savannie! They say that if you go up high where they were you could see AFRICAN ANIMALS!!!!! But, Papa, I stayed where it was safe and at ground level – with MOMMA! :)

Here’s my MOMMA with Savannah!!!!!

We all went to the playground and took a break! Momma gave me a YUMMY lunch!

After she gave me my yummy lunch, I got to sit with Aunt Halina! And while I was sitting with her, Momma had a spearmint snow cone that Aunt Halina treated her to. I was such a gentleman, Papa, that I didn’t even ask Momma for a bite. :)

Here’s me and Momma at the Train Depot! Aunt Catherine, Savannie, Caleb, Aunt Halina, Matthew, and Sarah all went for a train ride. But I didnt’ go. I was sleeping. Lunch filled me up :)

Oh, and PAPA!!! There was a HuuuuuuuuuGE giraffe! I didn’t exactly SEE the giraffe though – You see, I was busy just “kickin’ back” (sleepin’) in my stroller. Did you see, Papa, that I said “kickin’ back”? I learned that phrase from YOU!!!

Here I am UP CLOSE at the giraffe :)

AND you know what, Papa??? IT RAINED!!!!!!!!!!! But Momma kept me safe and dry under a little roof! She covered my stroller with a blanket. The only part of me that didn’t make it under the blanket tent was MY FEETS!!!

See my FEET, Papa?? :) I bet they were REAL stinky!!! :)

Trust me, Papa…The whole time I was sleeping I was dreaming of YOU! And while I was covered from the rain, I was THINKING of you!

Momma and I are SOOOOOO looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!!!

I love you, Papa, with all my heart! And just between you and me, Momma loves you TONS!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Izzy :)

On Monday morning, Catherine went out and purchased a swimming pool for Savannah and Caleb to enjoy! They had great fun playing in the water as you can see in these pictures :) Israel had a great time exercising with PawPaw!!! and Nana, Sarah, and Catherine enjoyed the cool, sunny Louisiana morning!

Relaxing on Nana’s lap :) :) :). Izzy: “I have SUCH an amazing hand! What a mighty, creative, powerful God to design and form it!!!”
