What a Week!

This has definitely been a really strange week. Earlier my Mom and Sister flew down to Florida because my Grandpa (Mom's dad) is in the hospital. All the arteries on one side of his heart are completely blocked. He is going into surgery sometime next week and Mom wanted to be there for my step-grandma. I think my sister is coming back on Sunday and Mom is going to stay. Not sure what type of surgery Grandpa is having, but the doctor said that if he would have had a heart attack before they found this he would not have made it.

Then my hubby's friend's father died (posted about it in the last post I did). The calling hours and funeral are tomorrow. We haven't spoken with my hubby's friend since the day it happened so I pray that when we see him tomorrow he is doing well (as well as can be expected). I pray that he will draw closer to the Lord in this circumstance too. It's still hard to realize that this man is gone. I keep thinking when I go to my in-laws I am going to see him. It's so strange.

On a lighter note.......I actually ventured out on my own today with the 3 children. Granted....it was only to the bank, but that's a big deal for me. After we went to the bank we surprised Hubby at work and took him out to eat at Steak and Shake. It has been a really good day. I better get to cleaning though because my father is coming up after he gets off of work soon. May the Lord Bless you today and through the weekend!

Congrats on your venture out. Take it from me its definitely an adventure each time I take all my children out with me solo...takes alot of patience and adjusting.. I have a cart full of kids and let my older help me push another one to put the groceries in. We get plenty of stares.

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! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
