Hello, hello to all!!

(Photo of my husband back at work.)
Hello, hello to all!! Life this week has been looking up and we would love for it to stay this way. Don is back to work and the "normal" weekly checks have begun to flow in again. Although we have a long road of catch up and we know he will be out again for surgery at least we can breath for a min. I never knew how much I should appreciate being able to go into the the grocery store and pick out and pay for my own food. I will no longer complain!
Zackery is doing good now, he had come down with the stomach flue Easter morning as did the rest of us but we have almost fully recovered. However, as bad as that was God's hand was on him through it all. He ran a fever for 2 full days and did not have one seizure (Thank you Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!) Now that he is 13 months old I am starting to see all the big boy steps. He has begun to point telling us what he would like and not like. He is trying to walk holding on to the furniture and standing a lot more as long as he has ahold of somebody or something. My little man!!
Joshua and Amanda are starting back to school this Monday after a long break due to all the cam motion lately. Needless to say they are less than thrilled but both of them know there is no choice in the matter ;)
Jordan started his new school almost three weeks ago and is starting to find his groove little by little. It has been difficult for him due to being at his last school since grade "K." Please keep him in your prayers for an easy transition.
As for myself and hubby we are always taking things day by day and always busy. Now that we are moved we are trying to get our home life back to as much of a normal everyday as possible.
We love you all and please keep praying for my husbands health and our finances (Thank you!!)
Our love to all!!!!

Update on Don

Don's colonoscopy revealed he will have to have surgery in the near future. They said that they will remove at least six inches of his colon. He is to go see the surgeon in four weeks and from there they will decide when he will operate, where and finally which procedure they will perform on him (bag or no bag.) Please keep in your prayers for ("No bag".) He would be able to return to work a lot faster otherwise it will be an additional 3 or more weeks. Otherwise for the moment he is hanging in there.

What a month March was!

We have all survived through our big move (yes, big move, just ask anyone who looked in our attic and they will agree.) First before I begin we would like to send out several thank yous to a few people. To my sister and her family, my cousin Denise and her family, THANK YOU for ALL your help!! You were ALL such a huge blessing. We are so thankful for your love and did I mention arms and strength. Those of you who know my cousin would probably not be surprised but she was the bionic woman through it all and I am not sure what any of us would have done without her ;) Love you Denise!!!!!!!
To my brother-in-law's mother "Mary Lynn" Thank You!! We were in some panic concerning our finances and a situation that came about with U-Haul (ask your son ;) ) when we were blessed with your help. We thank you and send our love to you.
My Aunt Carol and Uncle Loyd who have helped get a crib and highchair for our son & provided financial help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you and I love you both!
My sister and her family have also helped us where are finances are concerned, made yet another trip here to help us move, kept us fed while they were here and so on. I love you sis and your ENTIRE family!! Our hearts have been so touched by the love and generosity of each and every one of you. We pray many blessing upon each of you and again say thank you!

We Are Moved!

We are so happy to be done with moving. Here are some pictures my sister took while she was here with us. You can see some of our extra helpers here too.























This is pretty much how we all felt by the end of the day.

We are not wanting to move again ANY time soon!
