Oh Me Oh My

I have so much to say and many pics to share...WARNING!  This could end up being a HUGE, rambling, picture extravaganza!

Hubby:  Doing G*R*E*A*T!  Praise God for that..today has been 4 wks since surgery.  He saw the Dr last week and got a good report-he also got his "bone stimulator".  It's a very simplistic piece that cost as much as a car.  Anywhoo...it promotes bone growth and stimulates red blood cells...the recovery rate of people wearing it = 92%.  Recovery rate of people that don't = 67%.  Thank God our insurance covered it.  He wears it 4 hours a day for 6-9 months.  He is finding it to be more of a hassle than the back brace he has to wear all the time.  He has gone to work 3 days this week---I would say he's overdone it...he disagreed...until tonite.  He's flat out exhausted and doesn't feel too great.  He will figure it out...eventually :)

Oldest Son ZB:  Doing great too!  About to become a 13 yr old on Monday(sniff, sniff) Mom is a bit sentimental and struggling that my firstborn is growing up way too fast.  He's been working alot since school got out...helping out at the Sale Barn, helping Grandpa John at his new farm and helping me out as well.  Getting his lambs ready for the first show...day after tomorrow. 

Youngest CB:  Doing great, still my little buddy...gives me lots of hugs lately and I love it!  Working with his sheep and also helping out at the barn and at Grandpa's.  He's actually helped Grandpa John ALOT.  Grandpa says he's working hard.  He hates being the youngest...he claims "it's not ever fair".  Life is hard isn't it?  :)

Me:  Well, I'm still running like a wild woman~enjoying the fact that my husband is gaining every day and getting back to his ol' onrey self...even though being on the receiving end of that is not always a funny for me (lol).  Loving my boys and lovin watching them grow into young men.  Wishing at times I had more hours in the day~taking care of my flowers, garden, yard and just life in general. 

So thankful that the life I live is VERY BLESSED. 

I also want to update you on my cousin's daughter, KINSEY.  She is home~FINALLY~ and so happy to be there.  She does NOT have leukemia, PRAISE GOD.  She did have osteomyelitis(bone infection) in her heel, it's still healing, but she is gaining.  I want you all to know that Kelli(mom) was overwhelmed with the power of prayer for her sweet baby girl.  She was so thankful.  And so was I. 

Well, I must post pics now...have a wonderful and blessed weekend.  Remember to give thanks in all circumstances and no matter what your situation is.....GOD is BIGGER than any of it.

Im so happy that JB is doing better. Sure makes things out here feel like they are back to "normal" whatever "normal" is. I think that Grandpa John has enjoyed having the boys around for help. Praise God for all your goodnews!
