So, it's been a while....

"Mamo, I can't believe that you think everything I do is funny!"
"I love to make you laugh and laugh with you"
"I need to get serious, is my yogurt almost gone?"
Have been away a bit and it is always so wonderful to be here with the kids.

Meredith came over this evening to use the printer and Sam came too. He was hungry so he had an assortment of foods! Peanut butter and jelly, green beans (one of his favorites) pop tarts and yogurt. He likes to feed himself and that's a good thing but look at the fun he had. After the game of dropping food on the floor and I wasn't much help by laughing, we then stripped him down and in the sink he went. Oh the things we do for grandchildren that I would not have thought was so funny with my own. It's so much more fun this way.

Happy to be home!!!!! Enjoy the pix. Sam is getting bigger and bigger and smarter and smarter...."Wheeeee" is something else he likes to say and laugh with. A new word or gesture just about everyday. What can I say, the child is brilliant!!!!!!!!

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..
