Quick Update

My grandfather did end up having 3 bypasses and as of yesterday was doing well. Now the "real" test starts. They are going to start weaning him off of his pain medication and that means he will start feeling worse. My mom is flying home Friday and my aunt is going down to Florida on Friday to help my step-grandma and grandpa for a week.

Then...last night my Hubby was on the phone for 130 minutes! With who you ask? He was talking with his friend "A" (whose Dad died last week). "A" is really feeling convicted by the Lord (we believe)...now it is just up to him to decide. God is working in his heart and "A" just needs to realize his need for our Lord and Saviour. It was a great conversation though. Although...we are tired today, but I would much rather loose sleep over that then something else!

On the crocheting front...I have a total of 7 doilies done for our couples night and I got supplies yesterday from UPS (FINALLY!) to start a shawl I hope to have done for the night, but we will have to wait and see if I can crochet that fast! ;) May you all have a blessed day.

I almost forgot...all (well, almost all) the ladies from our church gathered at Mrs. M's home for tea. Little did I realize until after I got there that it was her birthday. (I've been a little "distracted" lately.) Anyway...we all had such a wonderful time. It was also nice because 3 of the young ladies are leaving tomorrow for Columbia. They are going down there to help out at an orphanage. So, I just wanted to "publicly" thank Mrs. M for the wonderful time I had yesterday (and the yummy food)! Thank you!

OH YES.....Little E is now 4 weeks old!

Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog and for the sweet comment. I will say a little prayer for your grandpa, that the weaning off the medicine goes smoothly.
The tea at Mrs. M's house sounds wonderful!

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

I did it!

Yes, I did get up at 5am this morning. Two days in a row, that is a HUGE deal for me. Let's see if I can keep this up (but probably not on Sundays). Tomorrow will be the test. I am not the type of person that can sleep in two days in a row and then get up on time through the week. I am going to try to only allow myself (at first) to sleep in one day a week. We will see how that goes. ;) But, my quiet time the past two mornings has been wonderful! It's amazing how it totally changes my day. Today I was thinking about smiling. Do you know that people are drawn to a smile? It's true. Think about it. When you are out in a store or just out on a walk...there is something about a smile from someone. I guess it gives me "hope" that there are actually people out there with joy in their heart. Gotta wonderful sometimes with all the scowls I see. Make sure you have a smile on your face today. :) Oh...the other night when we went to the store Sweet E was so happy. When we w
