just Blogging in...

Hey, just blogging in. Ivee has been a bit clingy and whinny this week. I'm a little concerned about her behavior. I don't want to over worry, but I just can't help it. Just pray with me that all is fine. I did say that if she continued to become more ornery and I saw anything else, I would call St. Jude. There is no physical signs of anything...so all that seems to be well. Her right eye is more crossed lately. She won't let me patch the left eye. If I do manage to get a patch on it, she finds a way to just yank it off. Anyone have any suggestions...I'm up for listening.
All is going as normal around here. I promised Em I would get pics of the renovations to the house on here soon. Sometime between teaching, working, physical therapy, cleaning, shopping, cooking, and going the that spa (ha) I would get it done :)
If you want to know anything, just comment. I'll keep in touch. I'll update some more pics soon.
Love Hope
PS. Sorry for any spelling mistakes, but it won't let me check it tonight.

God's New Companion

God had a friend come to meet him in heaven today. His name is Tyler Churchill. Tyler lost his battle with cancer today at about 3pm. He was a patient of St. Jude, and someone that I have been following for a while. His mom and dad are doing well, for they have had a peace over Tyler since they knew that his struggle would soon come to an end. They are grateful that he isn't suffering any longer and that he is now whole. I know their heart is broken though. They will miss his touch, laugh and miss his growing up. Please remember them in your prayers this week. Below is a pic of Tyler and his brother and sister. What a beautiful baby! Now he's walking with Jesus and he's completely whole.
If you would like more info on Tyler's family or to know how to perhaps help them financially (if you feel lead) visit their website to the left in my Links list. Go to his journal for information.
Also, please remember another family who will soon be going through the same situation. Their website is on the left as well. Click on Christian Showers. Thank you for your love and support. I know that your prayers are always heard!!!! I love you all!!!!

I'm just sitting here tonight checking out friends/families blogs, and I'm kinda just missing some people. I haven't seen my sister Sonia since Thanksgiving (she never updates her blog), so I am kinda out of the loop on her life. It's strange...you grow up with someone who for all you remember was always there...most of that time you hate each other and then just as you are starting to get along one of you goes to college...then life just kinda creeps by without you noticing. She's always close by, but then she gets married and moves away and ya miss just being able to call her up and invite her over so you can laugh at something stupid she's done or laugh at the kids cause when they get together there is always a surprise. (I know...that was a real run-on-and-on sentence).
Anyway...sorry for the pity party. Anyone want cake :) I would love some but I'm on a diet.
I was just looking a my best friend growing ups site...Deb C. She came by for a visit at Christmas time but didn't get to stay long. We see each other about twice a year when she comes home. I think you just start looking at her pics, and Deb alot like me hasn't changed much. We're just older and fatter...Love ya Deb! But it's fun to reminisce about the past and think of all the great times we had, and sometimes as a 32 year old, I just miss the simpler days. I know, we all thought they were horrible and would adolescence ever end, but even 14 years ago things are so different from now. We didn't have the same worries or concerns. I guess I'm feeling a little "old home" sick...if that makes any sense. Not that I want to live at my parents home again :) but I love thinking of not having to think. I think I'll stop now. This is going no where!
So, to anyone who stuck in there on this blog...more power to ya! Maybe I just need a good old vacation!!!!!

Catch Up

So, if you didn't notice there is a slide show to the left of Ethan. Below are some cute pics of Ivee from yesterday. We decided to take the Sundays in the months of January and February to visit some family and friends churches. They have really supported us this past year, and have been asking us to bring her. We are making good on those promises while we are off rotation at church. We visited Aunt Gwen's church yesterday. Her minister, Pastor Burns has visited and prayed over Ivee many times since her birth and cancer. We are always thankful for prayers, and people like to see her progress. So, that is what we are doing. Showing them our blessing and thanking them in person. We missed FFF and will for the next weeks to come. Well, here are the pictures. Enjoy!

I loved sitting on the step. I felt like a big girl!

I look like a little lady!

Just a quick note. For those who are checking in, sorry for not posting in a while. I am going to try to post on Monday or Tuesday. We started schooling here again, so we are kinda busy, but I have some cute stuff to put on here. So...I'll try my hardest to get it on. God bless and have a great week!
