Memorial Day

I want to take a moment and thank those who have served our country, died for our country, and still serving for our country.  Thank you for your sacrifice b/c it's such a great sacrifice.  However, the greatest sacrifice that was ever made was when God sent His son, Jesus to die for you and me on the cross some 2000 years ago.  Without that, our sins send us to Hell, but with the sacrifice of Jesus, we can overcome hell and be forgiven.  Thank you, Jesus for dying for me!!!!!!

Have a great Memorial Weekend and please don't forget all these sacrifices that have been made for me and for you!!

MFW K Curriculum

We got it today - yay!!!!!!  I'm so excited and the kids were super excited too.......both of them!  I think Sadie will enjoy doing things with us in the next school year.  I haven't been able to look through everything yet, but I can't wait to sit down by myself and just absorb all the information!!!

Doc says one thing; God says another

One of the docs a few weeks ago who was taking care of Clayton said that if they didn't put in the feeding tube; then Clayton would die.  They tried the NG tube 2x and it didn't work.  Then they thought about the feeding tube, but guess who is now eating ON HIS OWN???  Claytie Bear!!!!!!!  He has come along so far and will hopefully be moved to a specialty hospital/rehab type place to strengthen him so that he can go back to his group home.  We're so excited to see how far Claytie has come.  God has performed a miracle in Clayties life since they're shocked that he survived this incident.  God is good in the good and bad times.  We never gave up on God and continued praying and searching the scriptures.  He is so faithful; thank you Lord!

Claytie

My uncle is doing a little better each day. He's still not ready to have either a swallow test or feeding tube yet.  Hopefully next week he'll be strong enough for something.  Here's a picture of the bear.

Branson Trip

We had a great trip to Branson last week.  We went and saw the Presley's, ate at Lambert's (they throw the roles at you and the kids LOVED that!), saw Jonah (Highly recommend!!), Springfield (to my mom's side of the family cemetery), and of course, had a fun day at Silver Dollar City.  On our way home, we went up to some friends' house up in Lebanon and had a great visit with them.  We went to a fish hatchery which the kiddos were able to feed the trout.  They enjoyed that too; that was a first for them.  :)  Then on Saturday, we had to get home b/c my uncle had been admitted to the hospital on Thursday night for aspirating on chocolate cake.  They had to intubate him to help him breathe.  It's a miracle because he is doing pretty good right now.  He's not out of the woods by any means yet and he's still in the ICU.  They are working on clearing up his pneumonia; then they're hoping that tomorrow they can put in a feeding tube.  He wants to live, but the NG tube didn't work, so right now the only way to get him nourishment is to get a feeding tube.  So, please say a prayer for our sweet Claytie Bear.

Have a great day - we're soooooooooooooooooooooooo busy today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
