Mamo's Sleepover with Maddie

Maddie with her new baby.
I think it's time for bathtime.
"Ilove my new baby"
"I feel so much better after my bath"
"O.K. Mamo, enough of the pix..." It was time to read.
Picked up Maddie at Keeta's on Wednesday around lunch and was she ever happy to see me!!! The smile and the hugs were worth a million. We left and had lunch with Uncle Joe, Aunt Missy and baby Sam. We then came back to Mamo's to have a welcome nap. Maddie slept so good and so did Mamo. After that we went shopping to look for "prizes" something that Mamo's love to do. Check out the beautiful baby that Maddie picked out. Came back to Mamo's to have dinner, playtime, bath, books read and then my favorite, "snuggle time"......on the downside, Maddie came down with pink eye while she was here. She was a big girl and let me put the drops in. When we woke this morning her poor little eyes looked pretty bad. We had a picnic breakfast at McDonalds, (so Mamo could get her "morning fix", aka, diet coke) in my car!

Only to return home and see Mommy, Victor and baby Abigail. Maddie had a wonderful time and Mamo too. She said, "I'll miss you"...talk about melting your heart. Nothing like the grandchildren.

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..
