Just catching up!!!!!!!!!

What a doll!!!!
Our new prize......June the .ballerina
"I can dance too Mamo"
God's most precious gift!!! Thank you Lord
Off to the Zoo with my new hairdo....


It's good to be away and spending quality time with my hubby but there is a downside to it....I miss everyone. The kids look so big to me when I return, even if it is only a week.

The older two are at the age when just visiting me is not enough....."I want to stay with you Mamo," and I love it.

Just trying to divide time between each of them is a challenge and then the "task" of leaving the other behind. I know, it's a learning experience, but hey, I'm a grandma. The younger two, Sam and Abigail are right behind and of course their nights will come soon.

Here are some pix I took with Maddie. We went to dinner with Mom, Miss and Sam and then off to Target for a "prize." She had such a good time and was VERY GOOD. We came home to snuggle, kiss and pray together. This morning after bath she even let me put piggy tales in her hair!!!!!!! After some real bargaining.....I put a piggy tale in my hair too. The things that Grandma's will do.

I love you Maddie.

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..
