mommaroushThose are GREAT!!! Love the one of you all reading the book :) 
mommaroushAnd yes, I do need one, but our carseat is so much bigger and I've heard that a lot of those covers won't fit. I thought about just buying some fleece and waterproof fabric, and sewing one. 
carabooWOW, i can't believe how big Caleb is! what a good looking group you've got :) 
friedajMy goodness, how fast Caleb has grown. His sister has the cutest grin.
Great looking family! 
mandyhayes1Those are great!!!!!! I wish that place wasn't so far away from us. 
matermagistraLook at that little Katie bug!!

And Caleb looks so big and grown up! I like your hair...it looks darker than I remember and is flattering. 
butterflyaww! They're both growing so fast! I like the kids with the white behind them and the blue in their clothes. Caleb looks ornery in the one hehe:-) and just too cute! 
lorileighCute pictures! Cute family! 
mandyhayes1If it's yucky tomorrow and you don't feel like going out, please don't feel obligated. We would love to do lunch but it's ok to postpone too. Just let me know! 
mandyhayes1No way! I'm looking forward to it but didn't want you to feel like we had to. Do you know where Panera is? 
angiepriceAdorable!!! :) 
lilahWhat a beautiful looking family 
mommaroushYum! Did you like it? I'm not a big fan of the creamer they come out with.. I don't know why! I'm hooked on CoffeeMate's Cinnamon Vanilla. :) 
mommaroushAnd yes! Any coffee creamer is excellent in hot chocolate!

Happy Birthday! 11-05-08 10:59am EST



I can hardly believe my little boy turned 2 on Monday! We celebrated, just the 4 of us, with an Elmo "party". We took him out to dinner and then had cupcakes back here at home. He loved opening gifts and, for the past 2 days, has repeatedly asked us to sing him the "happy song." :) Happy Birthday to my little boy!
mommaroushAwwwww! I'm so glad you had a good day! How is Eric feeling? 
matermagistraLook at that smile. So cute! The last time I saw him, he was still eating from a bottle and crawling around. 
mandyhayes1Crazy huh!!! 
mommaroushOh good! I'm so glad to hear here's better. Hopefully the doctor's can bring you some semi-good news (at least that it was nothing too serious, you know?) 
butterflycute:-) 
jasonswife060305Awww I cant believe it! 2 already. Hes so adorable. Happy b-day lil man! 
lorileighWhat a beautiful child you've been blessed with by God! 
mandyhayes1oh yeah! i love panera! 
mandyhayes1or you could just keep them and we can meet for lunch one day :o) 
mommaroushUmm, no, I think we're alright for now. Maybe sweatshirts, but other than that he's got plenty of pants. 
mandyhayes1Maybe next Monday or Tuesday, 17th or 18th? Or if next week if too busy we could do the following Tuesday, 25th? Let me know! 
mommaroushI'll definitely take the jacket - we have a snowsuit. Thanks!! 
mandyhayes1Oops! Yeah I was talking to you...I thought I put that on your blog not mine :o) That's what happens when I try and do more then one thing at time. See you Tuesday!

Update 11-01-08 02:27pm EST
Eric is now home from the hospital. He's to continue on an antibiotic and other medication for now. Not all test results have come back yet, so we're still waiting to hear what exactly caused this infection and whether or not it's acute or something chronic that he's developed. Thank you all for the prayers. Please continue to pray that he continues to recover and regain his strength.

I read the following quote while we were at the hospital - "What God leads me to, God will lead me through." It was really stuck with me. Just thought I'd share.
serenaI'm so sorry for you guys. Its not easy taking care of a sick hubby with 2 little ones to keep after. Lifting your family up in prayer! 
mandyhayes1We'll be back in Ohio on Tuesday. If you need me please don't hesitate to call!!!!!! Praying! 
serenaI'll have to get back to you. I think its the 2nd weekend. 
butterflyglad he's home..hope they get things figured out quickly so he can feel better! 
shel6yHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CALEB!!!!

Prayers Please! 10-31-08 05:55am EST
Eric is in the hospital. We're not completely sure what's wrong, but I do know that he at least has colitis (sp?) - inflammation of the lining of the colon. I'll update later, as I'm able. Please pray.

tommyswifeWe sure will! Do you all need anything? 
mommaroushOh, Kristi, I'm so sorry- we will definitely be praying for him!!! (and the rest of you!) 
shel6yDon't forget.....YOU NEED TO SLEEP. I will not be giving your children back until you do!!! :)
Really, if you are reading this don't worry about the kids. You need to take care of yourself so you can help care for Eric!!!

Sigh...Updates and Prayers, Please 10-30-08 08:26am EST
Eric's grandmother has improved somewhat; she's been moved to a therapy wing of the hospital, with the eventual intent to move her to a nursing home for additional therapy. Thank you for the prayers!

My grandmother was admitted to the hospital a few days ago for congestive heart failure, fluid on the lungs, an irregular heartbeat, and possibly a blood clot. This is the third year in a row that she's ended up in the hospital around the 1st of November. She ought to hibernate this time of year and see if she can avoid the "tradition" next year. :)

My brother was in a car accident yesterday, but is fine, aside from a little soreness. We're all grateful for that!

Last, but not least, Eric.....Eric has been sick since last Thursday. He'll have spurts where he feels better, but the illness eventually returns. So, last night I took him to Urgent Care and they diagnosed him with gastroenteritis (sp?), possibly from food poisoning. They gave him an antibiotic. He's weak because he hasn't been able to get much food or fluids down for days and has progressively worsened over night. So, we're waiting to see if this morning's dose of medicine helps before deciding whether to take him back. Dehydration worries me and, as I'm sure some of you know, the family just isn't the same when one of its members is sick. So, please keep him in your prayers. He's supposed to preach Sunday night and would be really disappointed if he has to cancel.

Sigh.... :)
curlieHope Eric feels better soon! Sorry for your grandmothers both having issues. :( 
mommaroushPraying for your family!! So glad your brother is okay. Is he still in TX? 
shel6yYour family has been hit hard!! We will keep your WHOLE family in our prayers! How are you holding up? 
butterflyyou've got alot happening with your family! Glad Wanda's improved a bit and that your bro is ok. Hope your grandmother and Eric feel better soon!! 
shel6yI am hoping that by your silence that you are not still at the hospital! Keep us updated please!
