getting the "Mamo Fix"

Well, we made it home and it sure is great to be home!!!! The snow was just about all gone but seeing the faces of each one of the kids was worth it all. Just to hear, "Mamo!!!!!" is the greatest.
I had a night, and day, with each one of the kids. Just need to have some quality time with "Miss Lally."
Sam and Maddie had a good time with each other from fun in the bathtub to reading books together. Maddie looks like a natural reading to Sam. Who knows, maybe a future teacher here.
Going back to the Sunshine State after Easter. Fun in the sun and having some quality girlfriend time.

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
