Some Thanksgving Photos

Lerin loved playing with Uncle Cliff on the playground. She is talking up a storm these days!

We had a recommitment service for Mimi and Bipaw's 50th wedding anniversary that will be Februrary 1, 2008. It was a special time for the family.

This is the Hancock family, Lynne, Dom, Phoebe, Bobby, Ginger (with baby in tummy) and Chuck.
This is my family. Dad is hidden behind us! Trish has a baby on the way. We are so happy that our family is growing and growing!

This is Robbyn. She is three months old now and o so sweet!! She was so fun to hold this week. Robbyn loves kisses and giggles alot. :) She is prescious!

Busy Busy

Well it is Jessica's fault that we have not updated in awhile. With that said things have been going really good but busy. It seems like we are busy all the time now. Over the past two weeks I have had at least 6 days that I have worked 12 hours or more. We just have so many things going on.

One of the biggest was our Daddy-Daughter Banquet that was held last Saturday night we had 105 dads and daughters, it was a great time. All of the girls dressed up so pretty and their dads just loves it. We had a slide show before dinner with funny questions for them to talk about and then someone playing the piano during dinner. Each girl received a rose and a picture frame with a bible verse and then had their picture taken with their dad. For my first big event here I think it was a huge success. You can check out the pictures below.

Jessica and I both are getting excited about Thanksgiving and being able to see family and friends (and do a little hunting). I hope everyone is doing well and we hope to see you soon!

in Him,

Cliff Cary

These two cute girls were baptized on Sunday evening.
The one on the right is our Preschool Minister's daughter, Bethany.
What a blessing it is to work with the children of God!

Anniversary weekend in Ruidoso

We had a great time in Ruidoso for our anniversary. Mimi and Bipaw took great care of us and spoiled us a ton! The weather was beautiful and the trees were just starting to change colors. Mimi and Bipaw took us up to the top of the mountain for a picnic Friday night. We watched the sun set at the very top on a ledge of boulders.

While we were picnicking (sp?) this crazy chipmunk raced between us almost running over Cliff's foot. He raced up this tree and perched there so still. He must have smelled the food or something.

I am so proud to be married to Cliff!! He takes very very good care of me and I try my best to take care of him. I cannot believe the things that we have accomplished over this past year. I sure pray that this year is a little bit slower than the last, although, I don't think that is our way. :) We are very blessed to be here in Amarillo. God is good and we are thankful everyday for his provision and grace!

I miss you everyone! Come visit soon. :)

Mom, Dad and Lerin visit Amarillo

These are pics of the inside of the Family Life Center at the church. Lerin had a BLAST! It's really nice to have this for the children's ministry.

After much begging by me to Cliff we stopped at the Pumpkin Patch!! It was so fun! We took some pictures and bought pumpkins. I have two pumpkins sitting outside of our front door. We hope no one grabs them and smashes them. :)

It was so fun to share our life here with family. Robbie had to be in the hopsital the week before having his appendix taken out. There were complications so he had to stay in the hopsital for an extended period of time. Lerin came with Mom and Dad since Leigh was having to stay up at the hospital. As I type this today Bubba is back in the hospital. He should get to go home tomorrow. We are praying for his recovery.

Neices in Action

Robbyn is so adorable! She is coming out of her infant cacoon. She doesn't have much control of her little arms and legs so they move like crazy. She only likes to be unwrapped for a little while then wants to be cuddled again. This video was taken at my parents house a couple of weekend ago. We all had a slumber party together with Leigh and the girls.

Lerin didn't know that I was videoing at first because I used my camera. She was saying hi to Uncle Cliff. Hasn't she grown!! Her birthday is this weekend. She'll be two on October 28.

GREAT Weekend!!

Jessica and I had a wonderful weekend in Ruidoso. We had a great time being able to relax and enjoy the mountains. I truly love it up there. I also love my amazing wife to whom I have now been married for 1 year. It has truly been a blessing.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Below I am posting pictures of our two first grade Sunday school classes. These pictures are from the day that they received their Bibles. It was a great time for me to have fun with the kids and get to know their parents.

Have a good one!!

The Work Never Ends

Jessica and I had a great weekend with her mom and dad as well as our niece Lerin. I have a feeling she will post pictures before too long. It was a great time to spend with family, and be able to show them around our new home.

Things are going well this week so far. There is just so much going on. I am trying to followup from my big camp meeting last week, and plan an upcoming event as well as do day to day work. I have a dinner tonight at Olive Garden with the directors of Childrens Choir. Olive Garden sounds good, but 2 hours of sitting with eight women talking about musical stuff does not. Oh the things we do in ministry.

We are looking forward to getting out of town at the end of the week! Greatest find today in our new town: ESPN Radio, complete greatness!!
