Bug Hunter

PRAISE THE LORD, Marigrace is home and doing well. She came home Monday. I'm sure she feels much better being at home. I forgot to Praise the Lord in my last post. Thank you for your prayers for her.

Yesterday, Naomi wanted to go outside and find ladybugs and lizards. She is my bug hunter! She had a bug barn earlier in the summer but our dog Wally got a hold of it and put a hole in the net. It is just big enough for her bugs and small lizards to get out. We tried to find another one but they are out of season I guess. I told her I would make her one from the plastic canvas I had. I whipped this little bug barn up last night and when she got up this morning she was very happy but not so happy she couldn't go out to find bugs to put in it. It is very cold this morning.

Sunday was Rebecca's birthday and Jen's was last week. We celebrated at Mom and Ron's house. Dad was in PA with grandma. Her 80th birthday was the 11th. I hate that we didn't get to go up there for it. I'm glad I got to talk with her though. She is in a nursing home and doesn't have a phone in her room. Happy Birthday Rebecca, Jen and Grandma!

Sunday afternoon, we had Fall festival for our church kids. Abigail fell asleep on the 2 mile trip to the fellowship building. She slept hard for about 20 minutes. Ted tried to wake her by picking up her legs and pick on her but she would not wake up. She finally woke up with all the noise I guess.Emily, my niece, Naomi, and Abigail pose at the background Mrs. Janet, Kristi, Pam and Kelly decorated. They did a great job. Naomi

Beware any boys that might want to mess with my child. Her Daddy is teaching her how to shoot and hunt. Who knows, maybe she will be the next Sarah Palin ;)

I took Blake and Dillon to the fall festival because Michelle and Marigrace were still at the hospital.

I had to get their picture before I took them to their Paw Paw's house. They were going to church with them that night so they couldn't get their heads sprayed or face painted. They were to busy for that anyway.

At church, Chey sang with their new group, Growing In Grace. Yes, Brandon's face was painted like batman from the fall festival. ;)

I know this is out of order, but I thought it was cute and just an add on. Saturday night, Chey and Naomi spent the night at Mom's with Emily. Abigail would not leave me alone to fix something to eat. Ken put her in her chair and wrapped her up. She looked all cozy.

Little Fallen Angels, and Fall Festival

Friday, I went shopping and went to a store that had this cow out front. The horns were on the cow but I think it was more appropriate on the girls. :)

VERY APPROPRIATE!Naomi wanted to take her worm and a pillow to make her more comfortable in the car and I pulled this massage pillow out of the closet for her. She got so comfortable you can see what happened. She slept for an hour with the neck pillow vibrating.

Saturday, Cheyenne's game was at 9:00 and Naomi's was at 11:00 and both Ken and I couldn't go to both. So Ken took Chey and visited his bus route and then went back to the game. I went on visitation and then took Naomi and Brooke to the game.

Naomi is just like her Daddy. She has a very short attention span. If you look in the background in the pic you will see Naomi playing with her hands or something. At one time she was on the wrong side of the field singing and swinging her arms Deep and Wide. So her Daddy!

When we got back to bus church we had the fall festival.

Emily could not get the apple so we just pulled it out. She tried.

The kids had a great time. When we got home Naomi and Abigail were playing outside. My little bug lover found some ladybugs and was showing her sister.

Abigail was so interested in them too. One was red and one was yellow.

Abigail also gets her style from her Daddy. :) Ha! She at least had shoes on.

A Day at the hospital

Today, I went to spend the day with Marigrace and Michelle at the hospital. I just had to take a picture of this fountain. When I got up to the room, Marigrace was in such a good mood. She seemed to be feeling so much better. Mommy got a good night sleep, too.

Several people stopped in to see them after their own doctors visits. She seemed to enjoy the attention but she was soooo sleepy. She couldn't get to sleep. Finally around 2:00 she fell asleep. She looked so peaceful, I had to take a picture.

If you look real close you can see her little toe glowing with the heart rate monitor.This sweet little girl still needs prayer. I just got off the phone with Michelle and she had a rough last few hours. She cried quite a bit. I pray they both get some sleep tonight. I hope I get some sleep tonight too! I didn't sleep good.

Update on Marigrace

Well, Marigrace came through surgery OK but she cried for 2 hours. It tore her poor mama's nerves up. It may have been the anesthesia. I hope Michelle can get some sleep tonight. She went all day on 2 hours of sleep from last night. I picked up Marigrace's brothers from school @ 3:00 and brought them home until their grandparents could make it home. They were so funny! I have never seen boys scream so over spiders outside. LOL! And they screamed like my girls. Hee Hee. I just wish I could have gotten a video. I will be spending all day with Michelle and Marigrace tomorrow. I hope Marigrace will not be in as much pain as she was today. They have her on several kinds of pain meds. Thanks for the prayers and I will give her the hug Leanne. She will appreciate that. I am so glad you let me know you even visit my blog:)

I will update you tomorrow night after church when I get home. I am on a diet and so is Michelle but I told her it was OK to have a comfort food for breakfast this once. I am picking her up some Krispy Kreme on my way! I am getting myself one too by golly!

Marigrace

Please pray for my good friends baby girl Marigrace. She is in the hospital in surgery to put a feeding tube in and do a procedure to fix her acid reflux. I will be going to the hospital in the morning to spend the day with her and her mommy Michelle. Her Daddy is in boot camp in KY. Please pray for him too. I know he is worried because he can't be here. We all love sweet little Marigrace. She will be in the hospital until at least Thursday. Thanks for your prayers

Ladies Trip

Friday, I went with the ladies at church to Boone for a get away. We stopped along the way at little shops and saw this cute horse swing. Several ladies took a ride. It looked fun, but I didn't dare try it.We stayed at our Pastor's house in the mountains. It is a beautiful house that Preacher and Mrs. Ava built for their retirement. They live in the church parsonage now but now they have something of their own too. We sat, relaxed and talked.

Did I mention relax?

and laugh!!!!! We had a lot of laughs but I can't tell you about them all.

We were on our way to the Woolly worm festival and saw these deer at the bottom of Mrs. Ava's driveway.

The festival was all about crafts and woolly worms. They sold woolly worms and cages for them and I wanted to get Naomi one but I couldn't see paying $6 for a worm and cage. I know she would have LOVED it though. They raced worms on ropes on this wall.

The fall colors in mountains were so beautiful! Pictures just can't show the beauty of God's creation. The colors were so much better than last year during the drought.

Needless to say, my hubby was very glad I came home. Abigail gave him a fit while I was gone. Thanks to Aunt Beck she did get to sleep before 9:00. She really saved his sanity. Thanks Sis!
