What a great reminder!
Life is still a gift, a gift from God. What we do with it is our gift back to God. (Unknown)

Happy Mother's Day!

What a great day! Today was spent with family celebrating. Sunday School, Church, lunch @ Amigos with my oldest son, St Pat's graduation for my neice and nephew with a party at the Espresso Shoppe after, (saw Josh & Lindy and Mom & Bill), visiting the in-laws, and phone calls from Sarah, Anna, Patty, Lisa. What a busy day! I am truly blessed! Started a new bible study: 90 day Renewal, Had a picnic with Angelina & Anna, Irving got a turkey!, Josh & Lindy are in wait mode for Carter James to arrive, and a new grand-dog, Wrigley was Sarah's news this week. Life is good!

Whoa! Happy Spring!

Here it is April already. The year is flying by so quickly. Enjoying the ride as we go. Well, that is now that Irv is feeling better, his blood pressure was out of control and he was sick to his stomach. But no heart, gall bladder, stomach, or colon problems were found. Thank God for insurance! In his spare time Irv & Irving spend their days working at Lexington on the land the Hiatt's bought. They are fixing it up to sub-divide and sell, someday...Josh is still subbing in the North Platte Public School system. Praying for a full time PE job for next fall. They found out they are having a baby boy! We are planning on Carter James joining us in 8 weeks or so. We are all so excited! Sarah has a new position at Yonkers as EsteeLauder counter manager. She is glad to be done with clothing! I am still keeping busy with work, church, and personal growth including yoga,strength training, and the Proverbs 31 90 day Jumpstart to Becoming the Woman God Wants Me To Be. It's been very reflective and hard to be consistant with it all, but what a blessing!

Happy New Year!

God's blessings to you all in 2009!
Ah, yes...the only things that remain the same is that things always CHANGE and there is always HOPE.

This year has brought unscheduled vacation time for Irv as he has been sick and not able to work for 3 weeks now. All of the tests on his heart and gall bladder have shown normal and we are thankful for that. Today he has been preping for an upper GI scope and a colonoscopy schedule for tomorrow afternoon. We are just praying for some answers to why he is feeling so poorly.

Besides that, Irving William is back home from CA. We had a wonderful trip to San Francisco and Nevada and he was a great tour guide!

Christmas Greetings

Well, it's back to work tomorrow. Officially, Christmas is over, both sides of the family have celebrated, Christmas Eve with the Hiatt's and Christmas Day with the Cogley/Kings. And what a nice Christmas it was. The Christmas Eve service was different but very touching and the candlelights during Silent Night is always awesome. We did the advent candle this year at the in-laws with the youngest kids lighting the candles. I even got everybody to sing Silent Night once, even though Irv wanted to sing let it snow, let it snow...It was a lot of fun. Christmas morning Josh & Lindy woke us up when they arrived. Of course, Sarah was already up! Breakfast casserole, muffins, & cinnamin rolls were made and when Anna and Angelina got there at 10 we opened the stocking and then ate. Everyone was starving by then! Presents from each other and Santa followed. Irv surprised me with a beautiful heart journey necklace. He's so naughty! (He bought himself a new shotgun!) A little nap while Jesus' birthday cake baked and we were off to my folks house at the lake. Tom, Darcy, Autumn & Hunter joined us there, actually we joined them as we got there after 2 and dinner was started already! Always a first for everything! What a fabulous dinner and wonderful afternoon! Jerry and family called and we got to talk to them briefly from Chile. (Kenny's family chose to go skiing this Christmas. So we missed them.) Sarah and Travis had to leave by 4 so she could go to work on Friday and the almost made it back to their home in Iowa be ended up in the ditch not far from Marshaltown. Thank God they were unhurt! The roads were so very icy! Irv had to work Friday too so left for S. Morrill on the train early that morning. By midnight he thought he was having a heart attack and called to say he was going to the ER in Scottsbluff! Josh & I left for the hospital and by the time we got there at 2:30 am they were dismissing him. Anxiety attack they said and told him to follow up with our family doctor on Monday. Well, he's still not feeling well, weak, hot, cold, headache, upset tummy. Has been sleeping most of the weekend. So we'll see what the docter says tomorrow...Pray, pray, pray...
