my new home on the web.  My daughter Kayla created a new blog for me that will be easier for me to update.  So, I will no longer be posting on this blog.  Updating just takes me too long and I can't get some of it's features to even work. 

You can now visit me at:

Kayla is still in the process of creating it for me but I think it looks pretty good!

Wow, is time flying at our house.  My days are filled with school books and diapers.  Life is good!  We have also added two new babies to our crazy clan.  Their names are Noah (a black schnoodle) and Teddy (a yorkie-poo).  Our neighbors think we are crazy!  They just look at me, smile, shake their heads and say "5 kids and 2 dogs!"  Most people don't understand my love for children.  I can't imagine being anything other than a mother and I love all the noise and craziness that comes with the title.

March is also a time of birthdays for me so I would like to wish a big Happy Birthday to:

My Dad who almost didn't get to see his 64th birthday!  Glad your still with us Dad!

My blogger bud Kristarella.  I hope you are having fun surrounding yourself with your passions! 

My phone bud Sherri.  I hope you have a wonderful day and don't worry I'll call soon and we'll burn up the phone lines.

My kindred spirit Lorrie.  Wish you were here to see Kade and Kristiana.  Your prayers during my barren years really kept me going.  I love and miss you!

Dad is doing well today.  He came through surgery fine and is in good spirits.  He will not be able to work for at least 30 days and may not be able to return to his current job at all so please be in prayer for their financial needs to be met during this time.

My dad also needs to stop smoking and eat a low fat diet and right now he does not want to do that so please pray for that as well. 

My dad can be very onry, I think it's the Scottish blood in him.  At least that's the joke Lorrie and I always used to descirbe our spirited and opinionated personalities.

Please be in prayer for my Dad.  He had a severe heart attack today.  A stint was put in and we are waiting for the prognosis from the Dr. 

This is when it is so hard living far away from family because there is nothing I can do but sit by my phone and wait for updates.

We love you Grandpa and are keeping you in our prayers!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!
