DEAD BATTERY!!!!

Just when I thought that I was going to take some fantastic pix of Sam, I realized that my camera was dead...FYI, don't leave your camera plugged into your computer.. I did and that drained my battery!!!
I'm leaving for Fla. soon and wanted to spend some time with the kids. I picked up Sam at his sitter's house around 10:30 and we had a great day. We made our first stop at McDonalds and on to Mamo's house. We had a nice snooze together. Later in the afternoon, when I thought I'd get some good pix, that is when I realized that my camera was dead. We went outside and played. Sam loves the Mr. Magoo car I call it. We then took a long ride in the stroller looking at many things. It was time to go and get Missy. Everyone was hungry so we ate out and did a little shopping. All in all it was a great day. I had such fun with Sam. He is such a happy lil guy. I'll miss you doll.

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..
