What a horrifying event we have all had to endure for the past few days. I took the liberty of going through the past few days of posts on Facebook and combined several link, images, and video footage of the mass destruction in Alabama, Georgia, and my hometown Chattanooga. We are praying for everyone.

This is the Tornado that demolished and leveled Ringgold Georgia. Several Business, Ringgold High School and many homes leveled and flattened. Death toll at the time of this writing is 15 and expected to be more.

Some of these

Thanks,

What a beautiful baby! Little Miss Sophia is almost 4 months old and is one of the most alert babies I have ever seen. She can most certainly pose for the camera. Thanks Cheri for allowing me to come into your home and spend some time with you and your family. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Enjoy!

Thanks,
