Monday, Monday

Please keep my friend, Wanda, in your prayers. She’s facing gallbladder surgery this week.

Wanda, this one’s for you…

Hang In There
Hello, my friend; You’re on my mind,

Because you're somehow ailing,

But your response to any challenge

Has always been unfailing.
So I’m confident you’ll win again;

Hang in there, and you’ll see;

You’ll be back on top in no time,

Tackling life courageously.

I've had a few ideas for the blog floating around my head. I don't know why but I just couldn't get the creative juices flowing this morning. So instead you get a general recap of recent day-in-day-out life events (translation...boring).

I don't know where the week went! Can't believe it's been over a week since I've written anything. I guess we just enjoyed having a slower-paced week than usual. I've been fortunate to have time with my older girls recently. This is such an exciting time in their lives. That, in turn, makes it an exciting time in ours.

Some noteworthy events from last week...

Darrell's week in Florida turned into 2-weeks. He comes home tomorrow evening.

Christopher and Abbey had awards night at AWANA last week. Abbey was recognized for finishing book 1, Sunday School and club attendance. Christopher received the "Clubber of the Year" award along with recognitions for finishing his book, and attendance. It was a fun evening.

Shannon spent Thursday with us; she had a Dr. appt. here in Greer. Assuming the baby agrees, Shan's C-Section is scheduled for July 21st.

Kit-Kat had her first vet appointment Thursday. She didn't like it at all. Really.

Speaking of Kit-Kat, she loves to play and sleep. She particularly likes to sleep on people. As I type this she's sound asleep on my chest. She's a sweet kitten who's settling right in with us.

Elisa had a Dr. appt. on Friday. I met her there and was able to hear the baby's heart beat. Even after 5 of my own it's still an incredible experience. God's miracle of life!

Saturday we went to Rob and Elisa's. They've been working in the nursery and it's adorable! Freshly painted and with a wallpaper border to match the bedding and "MVP" sports theme of the room. Rob had put the crib up Friday night. They've done a beautiful job. I sure am getting anxious for these grandbabies!

Our church had a catered BBQ dinner and meeting for Vacation Bible School volunteers last night. I'm excited as a volunteer and for the kids. They're going to have a blast! Our VBS is held outdoors at beautiful Lake Robinson in mid-July. Please start praying now that we can be rain-free that week.

This week has Darrell flying in Tuesday evening. Wednesday my mother-in-law is coming home from Florida. To split the driving up I'm meeting my sister-in-law, Carol, in Brunswick, GA. Thursday Ken and I are going to Atlanta with Rob and Elisa for a Braves vs Marlins game. We'll stay over in Atlanta and head home Friday. Go Marlins!!!

Have a great week ... Really!
