My Handsome Son's Birthday is Today

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SON!!!

I can hardly believe you are 9 yrs. old already. We love you dearly.

Love, Mom

He's Happy Now

I just finished my son H's quilt this evening. I wanted to get pictures of it to post here, but he took it straight to bed with him. I'll have to post pictures later.

So, all 3 of my kids have a quilt of their own now, made by their Mama. My son C said he wouldn't sell his for $1000.00 because it's too special. H, on the other hand, is always figuring how to make some moolah! He wants to sell it for $1000.00, and split the money for me. Then, he says, I can make him another one. The wheels of thought are always turning, aren't they?

Check back for pictures.

Liver Transplant Update

My mother-in-law didn't get that liver on Dec. 11th. I kind of left the story hanging, but she got to the hospital and did all her surgery prep. She was on the table, ready to be cut open, and the transplant team called a halt to the transplant. Something on the donor liver didn't look good. We were all very disappointed, but knowing that kind of thing happens, not too discouraged.

She ended up getting a liver for real this time, on Dec. 28th. She had a rough go of it for a couple days after the surgery, but she's home now and doing very well. She's feeling SO much better, it's amazing. We are very thankful for God's care over her. She's got a new lease on life. For those of you praying for her, thank you so much.


Here's a picture of her with our little girl, taken about 1 1/2 yrs. ago.
