A Night at the Ball Park

 Not sure when I've seen so many people with matching clothes!  My sister and her husband were out of town so they gave me and the oldest tickets to Saturday's game.  So I told the boy to get in the car yesterday afternoon, he didn't know where we were going yet.  Was pretty excited to see where we ended up!

 What my sister didn't know is that it was Christian night at the ball park.  That meant several players shared their testimonies after the game.  This is(r-l) Seth from the Rockies, with Cardinals McClellan, and Pujols

 l-r  Holiday, forgot name but #12!, and Shumaker

 The main speaker of the night, Wainwright

It was great to hear men talk about their faith in God!

#1 did grow a little bored, Cards only scored one run.  He was disappointed in this!  But he was very happy and thankful he got to go :-)

Special Day

#1 was baptised Sunday. He was so excited yesterday, the first thing he said to me was you know what today is?? In his excited little voice. There were actually four people who got baptised yesterday and one of the ladies was telling me when they were standing in the back waiting their turn he was just beaming.
Today I heard him talking to #2 about how he started his new life.....just so cute and exciting to her him talking about.

Here are my takes from yesterday. There were a few people taking pictures so I'm hoping to get a shot of his face. #1 was last, there were 3 ladies/girls before him.

Pastor talking about #1



As you will see the children were excited to see up close what was going on.
pastor explain to #1 what he should do when dunked.


Ta Da:) I am so excited for #1 to take this big step and look forward to him growing more and more in the Lord.

Another busy week

I've wanted to write many times this week but alas, I never found the time to share. So I've found a few minutes to share the best thing that has come out of our week. As a mother and a child of God, I have found my greatest wish and most often prayer to be for my children. I pray that they will love the Lord God with all their hearts, all their souls and all their strength. I pray that they will be great servants for the Lord. Well, Monday #1 made a huge step in this direction. Monday #1 accepted Jesus as his savior. I am so excited for him, that he has his heart open to the Lord. I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for him as he grows into a man. I thank God for all He has done in our lives and all that is yet to come.

It's been a busy day today. I took #1 for his appointment today and all is well. By well I mean what I've been thinking is going on with his body was confirmed and the Doctor is putting him on Miralax. He got an xray taken today and we go back in about another week to get another so he can have before and after shots done to make sure the Miralax is doing it's job. It's nice to finally be moving in a direction that will be helpful to him. The Doctor mentioned that after his system is cleaned out he'll probably start eating more-I was laughing so hard when she said this! I said,"He has no trouble eating now!" I suppose you could say are children come from parents who are very healthy eaters.
Oh and I saw Valerie while I was there. Hi Valerie! Sorry I was in such a daze while I was there, afterwards I was wishing I had given you a hug and told you how wonderful you looked.

#2 wasn't feeling very well yesterday. She didn't eat breakfast or dinner, which had me a bit worried. She says she's doing fine today but doesn't seem quite up to snuff. She goes tomorrow for her follow up from the last surgery so we'll be sure to talk to the dr. about it.

A friend of mine watched the kids while #1 had his dr. appt. and afterwards I watched her child while she ran in for some blood work. They just got a puppy yesterday, so we got to dog sit too. He was so cute! A little Jack Russell terrier. This is the thrid time this week the kids have really had "dog time" with some else's pet. Mom, Dad you'll be happy to know it's just confirming my thoughts on bringing our dog back out here. :)
