Mother's Day

It has been a wonderful Mother's Day. God blessed us with a beautiful sunshiney day and not too hot. Tim grilled chicken breasts and K.C. and Melissa made salads. Michael and Leah watched. Then it was so nice we all just sat outside and ate and visited. What a great day. I just wish all of my kids could have been here. I know we are all one in spirit. Butch and Tammy came through on their way home from St. Louis. It was a short, but sweet visit. I hope you have all visited Ronnie's facebook page and saw her beautiful prom pictures. Butch is ready to wrap her in bubble wrap and not let her out of the house. Any father can relate to that, I'm sure. And if you haven't heard her sing, just go on Butch's facebook and hear her sing.
Well, this week is the week of Corie's baby, so be in prayer for her and the new baby. Little Sammy will be here on the 14th. We're hoping to get down there soon. We are keeping ourselves available for Christal in case we need to get to St. Louis in a hurry. I finally did get most of the garden in and it's been just rainy enough that everything is doing great.
Please continue to pray for Adam. He still has lots of physical problems.

Home again

We came home yesterday after we were sure that Christal would be fine without us. Adam is such a different boy on his ADHD meds. He sat and played computer games while Christal ran some errands. Now the challenge is to get him to eat and drink so he can get his strength built back up. He needs to drink lots of liquids for his kidneys. And he has no appetite. Tayler was really torn. He was happy to have us and Aunt Kelli and Aunt Sheri and K.C. there, but he still wanted Adam to come home. Maybe we can get over there and just visit. He's on two little league teams so he is pretty busy. We will be busy putting in our garden now. I picked up a bunch of tomato plants today. And the asparagus is coming up. Yeah!! I know that's about as exciting as watching paint dry, but, hey, it's Indiana in the spring.
Love you all

Another day in Indiana

I wish I could have a more interesting blog like all of you girls, but when you get old, it's just one day after another. However, I must tell you that the strawberries are blooming and I actually got out there and cut back the rasberries. So it won't be long until we get to enjoy the bounty. And I've planted a bunch of asparagas. And I have to tell you that Papa did something for me that I never expected. He got the Major League Baseball package so we (I) can watch all the baseball I want. I can see all of the Rockies, and the Cardinals and the Cubs, and whoever else I want. I fanticised about doing fantasy baseball, when low and behold my son called today and said that he and Steve are trying to get a family and friends league going. I've never done it before, but heck, I'll try anything once. Now I have a great excuse to watch all the baseball I want. And, if I'm busy, I can always TEVO it. So you all have a great Easter because Jesus is alive and well...Praise God.

His majesty on his throne

lumpy's chairs

Lumpy has his favorite chairs. He loves to sew. But most of the time he just thinks about it.

Recovery

I guess I'd better get a blog written. We have been busy and bored at the same time....Does that make sense. The thumb is almost healed. He is down to the last brace and we go to the therapist next Tuesday and will probably be told to use it only as needed. He's doing his exercises really good.
We are both doing well. We have cabin fever so bad, though. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so that I can get out in the garden. It gets warm for one day and then back to winter. And invariably, when it's warm, we have something else to do.
Christal and the boys came to visit last week. It was so good to see them. You know it's been a while when you haven't seen Adam with teeth...His front teeth finally grew back in. And Tayler is growing into such a little man. He is doing baseball and soccer this year.
Corie and kids will be visiting next weekend. They may end up helping me plant garden if its nice.
We are so looking forward to getting our fifth wheel out and going somewhere. It's been a lonnnnng winter.
