Spending time with Sam

Sam loves to get my phone
Getting a little sleepy.....(maybe)
Kissing Elmo and Big Bird.....too sweet
"Mamo, you don't need these towels folded"
Loves music!!

Loves diet coke, imagine that!!!!!


Meredith has been very busy this summer with classes and of course getting ready to go back to school. I can't believe it's already that time again....I'm sure she can't either.


Anyway, I've had some fun days with Sam this week and also he spent the evening with me tonight while they went to a baby shower and then on to a wedding of a high school friend.


Since Papa is in Fla. I've had fun spending time with the kids. Tonight Sam and I picked up Nana, took her to dinner at Bob Evans and then on to Target, one of her favorite places to shop. We stayed for a while but then Sam let us know that it was time to get moving. He loves Nana!!!


Returned back here at the house, played a bit and then started the routine of trying to get him to sleep. These pix show all of the different things that he loves to do. His toys, books, my diet coke (imagine that) playing the piano, hiding from me and unfolding my folded towels!!!!


Wish you guys could have spent the night but I know he does better in his own bed. Hope the cough does not turn into something worse. We had a great 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..
