Wordless Wednesday

I'm still here-I think?!

 

Crazy Kansas sunset/bank cloud.  Thought it looked

pretty cool.

CB and I went to my Aunt and Uncle's on Sunday to do

a little fishing and just hang out.  I like this silhouette

picture I got...we're sitting on the dock at the pond.

 

CB and his cousin, Piper.  They have a blast together.

She loves to play, get dirty and they get along great.

Well, so much for keeping up and reading up on the blog(s).  First, I want to thank all of you that lifted my family and I up in prayer the last several weeks and months.  JB is 12 days post-op and doing ok.  Had a rough weekend, some low grade fever, body aches and just didn't feel good that went into muscle spasms in his low back and legs.  Trying some different medicine beginning tonite and he seems to be doing better today.  Thank you Lord. 

My beautiful Grandma Birdell, age 93

We had a party for her with cake, ice cream, music,

lots of family and fun. 

I treated myself to a Mothers Day present and have felt a little guilty since.  But...I have it and I won't return it...I ended up with a new camera.  I am sporting a Canon Rebel XS around my neck.  So far I think I like it...but honestly, I've not got to use it a lot yet and learn much...been very busy and the weather has been so BLAH that great pics have been few and far between.  Totally shooting in AUTO at the moment and need to take time to get my book, sit down and play with the manual settings.  Would love for my "local" blogger buddies to give a little class on it...may get one talked into it yet!  :)

CB at his music program, he looks

so thrilled doesn't he? :)

ZB at his Choir program.  It was great.  He

was a little more excited than his brother

but I do mean "a little".

Then there is this sweet, little angel, Kinsey.

She is the one I posted about for prayers

She is a cousin-lives in GA-has been in the

Children's Hospital for over 3 wks.

As of tonite...they are still not

exactly sure what her diagnoses is, but they will be

doing a bone marrow biopsy tomorrow a.m. to rule

out leukemia.

Please continue to keep her and her family in prayer. 

Have a wonderful week.  Give thanks to the Lord

for he is GOOD.

Prayers Please

Asking for all my fellow prayer warriors...again :)

My cousin Kelli Lynn in Georgia and her baby girl, Kinsey needs our prayers...to get the whole story...follow this link       http://mcelreath.blogspot.com/       .  Thanks in advance...I know you guys are the best :)

Update

Well, I'm home, without my hubby.  Surgery went well, but the recouperation from the anesthesia has been rough.  It's only been 48 hours since surgery so it's not abnormal, I just had higher hopes :) 

I came home this evening...a little reluctantly, but needed to see my boys and get some sleep...He's in good hands in the hospital and pretty groggy...he keeps babbling silly things and I'm laughing a lot!  He asked the nurse(in a sleepy, thick tongued lingo) "is the Micotil on the top shelf?"  She got the funniest look on her face...I laughed and said, never mind, it's cattle medicine!!!  I could tell she thought that was weird--that made me laugh even more. 

Hope to bring him home tomorrow...we shall see.  I'm expecting a great improvement when I get there tomorrow morning.  I must say, his incision is bigger than I expected...he's sporting a nice
8 inch scar....wow.  No wonder he says his stomach hurts. 

Thanks sooooooo much for all the prayers, thoughts and concerns.  It's those things that bring people thru difficult times and I'm very blessed to have wonderful family and friends , near and far to bring me thru.  THANK YOU ALL!!!  Will keep you posted...as I can. 

The Joy of the Lord is my Strength :)

ATTENTION PLEASE

Asking all fellow prayer warriors to join together...

My hubby will be having his back surgery on Thursday, May 6th.  Asking for prayers for his Dr's, all nurses, etc that will be helping him.  Prayers for peace for JB...he's a bit anxious about this but yet ready.  I'm certainly ready for my husband to get back to "normal".  It's been a very looonnnnggg year in our home.  We have a very good feeling about this surgery...the dr doing it, etc, BUT...it's still surgery and it's going to be a more invasive surgery...they will be going thru his abdomen to get to his back...he will have a nice big vertical scar to show afterwards.  I know that's exciting.{smile}  Anyway...I would APPRECIATE all prayers...I know how the power of prayer works and it's like NOTHING else. 

I hope to be home and reading up on all my followers/blogger buddies very soon, my life has been a bit chaotic and time to myself or time to spare has been ZERO. 


Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.  1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (NKJV)
