December 1- 15 2012




Family

. We went to the ward Christmas party

  1. Tonight was the Family dinner and we also decorated for Christmas. Tews, Edwards, Simons and our family with the girls were all there!  We enjoyed the candle lighting at night. Later we did hot tubing. At night I sighed loudly when I looked at all the decorations and the house still to straighten up then stopped to pray for strength on the morrow.

  1. We took the girls to the zoo to see the lights
  2. Dan and I enjoyed going to dinner at Gardner Village with Doug and Darla


Patricia

I AM THANKFUL FOR

 less mouth pain, good night's sleep coming the hot tub,

  1. The girls started school and I went back to the doctors for my mouth

  1. Today has been a tough day.  From Ireland's shoes to the energy it takes to shop and clean.  I have a new appreciation for my daughters.


This Christmas season began

With the birth of one  baby boy, our grandson.

Within hours of his birth his blood sugar dropped low

And thus began a journey filled with

Doctors, nurses, poking, prodding, NICU and tests...an ambulance…

After two weeks there was a life flight across the country

From Utah to Philadelphia…

So many people... fasting and praying for one baby boy.

The surgery was successful

now we await his recovery

So we can be reunited

With our one baby boy

And we think of another baby boy

So long ago

  1. It was fun to celebrate Margaret's birthday during our morning walk at the mall.
