They are fairly young in the faith and I know that encouragement from brethren would speak volumes to them. Especially to Blair as her family hasn't been very supportive of her decision to live for Christ. Here is their address: Rice and Blair Neddo 84349-1 Live Oak Ft. Hood, TX 76544 Rice has been notified, but I don't know how long it will take him to be sent back from Iraq and so I am not sure about when the funeral will be. Thanks again for all of your prayers. 2008-11-18 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sherry_everett?l=5&entryID=600664 Some of you may know our memebers Rice and Blair Neddo. I was just informed that their 3 month old baby boy passed away. They aren't sure on the cause yet and Rice is in Iraq. Please keep this family in your prayers. Baby RJ also had two older sisters, Bralynn(5) and Evelynn(2) please keep them in your prayers also. This little boy was so precious and they had prayed so long and hard for a little boy. It is going to be very difficult for this family for a while. 2008-11-18 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sherry_everett?l=5&entryID=600137 Hey everyone! My best friend, Toni joined Pleonast last night! Please go say hi and welcome her! =) I told her how much she would love it here! 2008-11-17 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sherry_everett?l=5&entryID=598973 How much fun can you have with a parachute? Apparently a lot! Sometimes at storytime they will pull out the parachute and always before Thomas has been facinated, but hasn't joined in. Yesterday he decided it was time to finally join in and he had a blast. He didn't want it to end! It was so funny to barely be able to see his little head over the edge of the parachute, but he did NOT let go! It was too cute! Ethan and Faith love the parachute as well and Ethan especially loves getting the ball when it flys out and putting it back in. Each Wednesday we go to storytime with Allyson and Ayden and the kiddos really look forward to it. They make a craft, read a story, sing songs, do a movement activity, and then play Simon Says. After all that we get to check out books and videos. Ethan and Faith came home singing the Dinosaur song and the Hotdog song... and sang them all day yesterday and I think I was singing them in my sleep last night! Enjoy the videos! 2008-11-13 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sherry_everett?l=5&entryID=596522 In the last few days Thomas has really been working on his climbing skills and technique. First he learned to climb up to sit at the kitchen table. He thinks he is such a big boy since he can do this now and brother and sister can no longer play up there to keep their toys away from him. Then yesterday I put him down for a nap. He cried like he usually does at first, but then it sounded like his crying was closer to the door so I asked Ethan to open the door and see what Thomas was doing... well out walked Thomas proud as a peacock that he had gotten out of his crib and out the door! Silly sweet boy! 2008-11-06 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sherry_everett?l=5&entryID=595592 This afternoon we had our follow up ultrasound to check and see if baby boy's kidney got better, stayed the same, or became worse. As soon as they started the first thing we saw was him moving his legs and he is DEFINITELY a boy! I thought it was easier to see him today than it was last time. I could see his perfect little feet and hands and even got a good view of his sweet little face. Okay, on to the issue at hand. It hasn't changed. His right kidney is still enlarged and is still at least partially blocked. The good news is that it hasn't gotten worse, but I must admit I was hoping that the issue would have resolved itself like we have heard that it could. Since the situation remained the same, they want to do another ultrasound in another 6 weeks, so we are scheduled to have another ultrasound on December 23rd. If the situation stays the same until he is born, then they will do an ultrasound on his kidney and see if they can determine how much "output" that particular k... 2008-11-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sherry_everett?l=5&entryID=594705 We had a great time at Allyson's baby shower for Rylie last night! It was a lot of fun to plan and I couldn't have pulled it off without all the help! It was great to get to visit with Lara and I am so glad that she and Bryan's mom were able to come! I think one of my favorite things from the shower were the cinnamon rolls that Joyce made for me to give out as party favors. I admit I had a little too much fun reminding people not to forget their "buns" as they left! LOL =) Here are a few of the pictures that I took with my camera. Also if you don't mind saying a prayer for baby boy I would appreciate it. Our follow up ultrasound is tomorrow to see how that kidney is doing. 2008-11-03 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sherry_everett?l=5&entryID=594093 I didn't get as many pictures this year as I have in the past because I had to recharge the batteries in the camera in the middle of the party. However, we had a great time and the kiddos all had a blast. I hope all of you had a wonderful Halloween! Now I have to go recover and get ready for Allyson's shower tomorrow! =) 2008-11-01 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sherry_everett?l=5&entryID=592112 I was making myself some Malt-o-meal this morning for breakfast and as I was putting some brown sugar on my malt o meal Faith and I had the following conversation... Faith: "What is that mommy?" Me:"Brown Sugar" Faith after thinking a moment: "I have yellow sugar in my nose..." Me trying not to crack up laughing:"No baby this is SUGAR what is in your nose are boogers and we don't eat those or put them in our food." 2008-10-27 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sherry_everett?l=5&entryID=590236 Just in case you haven't started shopping yet, I thought I would add a little more stress to your day.
