bloomsbury 2010

It's been a couple years since we went to this event put on by Dance Marathon! It was the most perfect, lovely day....plus my mom came with us,
after which, we spent the evening having dinner with our dear friends that live nearby and they served us a huge, scrumptious dinner!!

fall goings on

Making pumpkin scone snacks.....

Great Grandma's that come visit and spend time with the kids and listen to their music playing....

This is a sign that boys live here....

I finally made a homemade apple pie. I did not make the crust though this time, but I cut up all the apples bought from a local orchard.

Girl version of pumpkin decorating.

We were blessed with many pumpkins this year and I am enjoying baking them and making my own pumpkin puree, but with frequent foot resting.

happy birthday to the best mom/ grandma in the world!!!

How can one express the gratitude one has for such a special grandma? How can one show the gratefulness needed for a mother that loves and gives so freely, fully, selflessly, humbly, generously, unconditionally, continually....giving up everything for our family always but especially during this last year of our unique trials. I could go on and on. Writing this made me realize I need to get separate and group grandma photos way more often!!

mother, how can we express
our love for you and
how you bless

the never ending hours you give
the hugs, the love,
the way you live

grandma, how can we tell you
the way you're there
you come through

even as you soar above
in your plane
we feel your love

but we know within our heart
you'd give it up
right from the start

if that is what you'd have to do
to help your family
out it's true

we know you've done it all before
to help in trials
of those you adore

all the prayers you freely pray
your precious boy
so ill that day

you put your arms around your brood
always giving and
doing good

glad the Lord provided you
to be around and
coming through

thank you beloved grandma /mother
for all of us
there can be no other.....


Thank you mom / grandma, for all you've done, for being there, you're the best and we couldn't have gone through this last year without you!!!

God Bless YOU.

count down to a cure

It's weird, but I think we are actually living in a way that feels almost normal! Braveheart is doing very well with this phase so far. He is adjusting still though. His hair is growing in. He still gets tired, but overall he has had lots of energy.

Please pray for him as we have a virus going through the house and Braveheart started coughing last night. He can get a virus, but it takes longer to heal and if he gets a fever with it, we have to go into the hospital. So, today he is slow and very tired with this strain on his immune system. Thanks for catching up with us and praying for us!

Here is the wonderful grandma helping him with his math. We are so thankful that his brain is getting back in the groove here.
