Lots of fun!!

Of all things......YARN!
The more tangled he got the more he loved it!
My baby boy is getting "so big"...check out those eyes.
Of course he had to stop long enough for a "swig" of my Diet Coke!!
Had lil Victor for a "Wednesday night" as he calls it and we had a great time. Picked him up at Keeta's and he was so happy to see me. We came home and took a snooze together and then had dinner later on with Papa. After dinner Victor and I decided to go over and get Nana and take her out for ice cream. She was so happy and loves being with the kids.

We went to bed late and did our usual prayers, stories, hugs and kisses before falling asleep.

Marla came over in the A.M. to pick Victor up and we had a great morning together with all.

Later in the afternoon I went to keep Sam for Joe for a bit while he ran some errands that needed to be taken care of.Sam was so happy when he woke from his nap to see me. He laid his head on my shoulder and thats all it takes for me!

We played, he drank some milk, played some more and then Joe returned. Meredith was not far off and returned from school. They had a gift certif..from W.W. Cousins so we decided to get some great burgers for dinner. I brought Sam here with me and Meredith went to pick up the food. Joe joined us here and we had a fun evening as you can see. Sam, after his bath in the sink, decided to get into my bag of yarn! The things kids love to do....it amazes me. He was so cute tonight and full of fun. I gave him a hair brush and he said "thank you" as plain as day!!! Meredith and I screamed and screamed! He was so cute and of course repeated it over and over! Joe was thrilled too. He is starting to say so much more. Look out guys, it's just beginning. I love it. It was an Awesome Day.....I need to go to bed. Enjoy my pix.

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..
