Prayer Requests

I'd really like to post some updates, but I only have a few minutes right now and I have a couple of prayer requests I'd like to present.

First, I'd like to ask prayer for my nephew. I won't mention his name here, but he tried to commit suicide last night. He is okay for now. It only just recently came to light that he has inherited his dad's bi-polar disorder. My nephew has just started experiencing 'rapid cycling' which is very dangerous. He has no insurance and desperately needs help. Please pray for him, and his mom and dad. They are very upset.

Second, I'd like to ask for prayer for my Eden. She does finally seem to be improving somewhat. The pediatric gastro has ordered some more tests: an x-ray and more blood work. Please pray for Eden, she doens't know about the blood work. She is horribly terrified of having her blood drawn and I know the x-ray will make her nervous as well. We'll take her in on Monday to have those done. We have decided to not tell her yet about the blood work, because she will spend the entire weekend obsessing about it and crying. Please pray for us, that our Lord would give us the right words and comfort for our baby girl.

Thank you so much.

Love you!!!

Don't Pay For Cable....

I've watched episodes of The Office on-line when I've missed it on T.V. But never thought of watching everything on-line to avoid a bill. I like that idea!

This article lists links that offer cable/satellite shows on-line: http://weblog.dollarish.com/dollarish/687818735/stop-paying-for-cable-save-your-monthly-cash-heres-how.html?page=1

A Pause in The Month's Activities

Howdy! I'm still recovering from the surgeries and the flu. I can't sit at the computer for long without my foot hurting. So unlike my usual rambling posts, thought I'd just post a couple of photos today.

The first ones are from the kids Christmas Piano recital. Eden has been so sick she almost didn't make it. We didn't know until it was time to leave whether she'd be able to pull it off or not. She did though, and she did a great job. And Kenneth, that boy is gifted in music, actually, they both are. The piano recitals are twice a year, once at Christmas and once again in the spring. I always love listening to all the kids and hearing how much each one of them has improved from the previous recital. I was pretty proud of all of those kids!

This one's my favorite. I can't believe those beautiful children came out of ME!

This last picture is the shoe I now have to wear on my foot at all times for the next several weeks. Its quite attractive and I've had a blast trying not to tip over and break my face.

The good news, you will not see any man stubble on my leg. After two weeks, I was finally able to have my stitches removed and get that leg/foot wet. My one-legged man days are over! Woo Hoo!!! I soak and ice it daily now and start physical therapy next week. Watch out P.F. Chang's January 2009, here I come!!!

Looking forward to catching up on your blogs. Hope your Christmases were blessed and that your New Year is filled with bountiful joy! God bless you my friends!
