Grandaddy needs your prayers.

Grandaddy took a turn for the worst last night and we almost lost him. He as improved dramatically and is currently stable but he needs your prayers. The doctor said that he would like to take credit for his turnaround but he could not........ that someone else was responsible. God is completely in control and he has given us one more day with Grandaddy. We feel blessed to say the least. The doctor jokingly said that he must have 9 lives and he used 2 of them last night. I know that God is not finished with him and that gives me joy for the moment. He is very special to me and I am only hoping and praying for more of God's miracles. Raegan got to see him tonight and he was delighted as was she. I cannot begin to describe the unique bond that they share as do we but I can say it is nothing short of beautiful. Please remember him in your prayers as well as our family during this difficult time.

This little girl loves her Great-Grandaddy.

Sweet birthday kisses.

And squeeze hugs.

Just pics.....

Grandaddy is back in the hospital.

* Update: I guess no news is good news. They are doing a lot of tests but we still don't know anything more. He is still very weak and is heart is weaker than before. He is breathing better due to the removal of excess fluids but eating is a challenge for him and he aspirates often due to the trouble swallowing liquids. Please pray for him.

Today we were on our way to the park when we received a phone call that Grandaddy had been taken to the E.R. He was admitted and is staying overnight so that they can watch him. He was given medication to remove excess fluids and seems to be breathing much better and resting well. Please say a little prayer for him.

Finally!!!! Summer Vacation

It seems that life has been a whirlwind lately with so many things to do. Finally school is out and summer vacation can begin. I have so many BIG plans. Scott is hoping that he gets the job he has been working so hard for. I need to finish OPERATION: De-clutter in the upstairs and the attic. I also have some painting projects around the house to do. We can't wait to go to the beach this year!!!! Raegan is talking about it non-stop. She wants to she the duck ducks and the dolphins. I think she will LOVE it this year! I have 2 more weekend classes until I can take a break from school but then luckily I will have some time off until September. I can't believe I'm actually half way through. I can't tell you what a dream come true this has been for me. Even though times are rough and hectic..... I still feel like I have it all. I am blessed with a beautiful family, health, a home, a job, great friends. I serve a loving and forgiving God and I live in a country where I can worship freely. Really......what do we have to complain about when there are so many out there with so very little. I ran across a quote several months ago and I believe it says it all. "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all."

Happy Mother's Day

When I was a little girl my Grandaddy often told me,"A man may work from sun to sun but a woman's work is never done." Wow.... how true this seems for me some days as I'm sure it does for others. Take the day off and enjoy it. Celebrate with those who mean the most to you and have a Happy Mother's Day.
