Helloooo!
Happy New Years Eve! Don't know if the boys have left or not yet, but I hope they have a fantastic and safe night. Enjoy staying up late and toasting your friends with sparkling cider and playing some goooood music! :-)
Not doing much here. I made soup and munchies for dinner and to have out all night. Made minestrone, which was good, got some fresh bread, made cocktail meatballs and a veggie dip. Oh yeah... can't forget Allie's favorite -- Bailey's Irish Creme Bundt cake. It's so yummy and so easy, Laura I think even YOU would enjoy making this! haha
I wish for you, my friend, a night of rest in your snuggly jammies, with a good Lifetime movie... and in 2009, much love, happiness and success.
And a Happy New Year to all the Colton, Bronson and Laura fans out there!!
Enjoy and I love ya!

Welcome Home!!
So glad you had a safe and fun trip. Hmmm... a 28 yr old, eh? Now, don't ever say never. You never know. I agree about most men, but we can't really lump them all into one category or we might just miss a good one. He has good taste, you are a terrific and beautiful woman. And what's wrong with a crush??? ;-)
Enjoy your Monday, and good luck with the resolutions. Remember to keep them simple and realistic. I always work on keeping them simple so that I don't set myself up to fail. No one needs or wants to do that!! haha
**Thanks for the compliment, but I think you might need some glasses!
Hugs and love to you all!

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Hi Guys!
Hope you're enjoying this Sunday, filled with much packing and errand running. I'm sorry you don't want to go on this trip, but I can surely understand. It's not too late if you want to change your mind!! But if you do go, travel safely!! Enjoy the holiday with your friends and try to relax!! Too bad Bronson doesn't have his permit... he could have split the driving time with you. :-)
We're just enjoying the rain up here today. Not going out in it. I took the garbage out during a rain break so I didn't have to do it later and get soaked. I also brought all the cushions in from the patio furniture. Gotta take care of all that winter stuff. haha
I'm really glad you and Colton got some time alone together. It's always nice to have time with one....
Have a great evening!

They are creatures that we'll never understand, so don't put too much effort into trying. When it's right, it'll work out. It's not you, it's him. I feel sorry for him.
On an upnote... only a few more days of work! Then you can concentrate on YOU and the boys! Enjoy your vacation and don't let this weigh you down. You are a beautiful, amazing woman and if it can happen once, it surely can happen again. So keep your chin up!!

We are getting ready for the ladies Xmas dinner at church... we'll also have a speaker/singer. Should be nice. I agree with what you said about putting Him first, and how imporatant it is. We don't go to church, but maybe one day. When I was younger we went to a church that was very cliquish. That turned me off. I love my bible study class, and watch Joyce Meyer every morning but don't go to the actual church (except for bible study).
Have fun at the library boys! I see a boy in town who walks every day with his cane. I always think of Colton, and how brave both of these boys are. I just send love... ya know?
Glad your lips are better... and don't ever say never. You just never know. ;-) We always have to have hope and faith, or life isn't really worth it.

I taught kindergarten yesterday, then we went to Fremont to a basketball game. Today it was 3rd grade and an 8:00 game in Fremont. Don't know what time tomorrow's game is, but I can't wait to get a good nights sleep tonight (fingers crossed). I don't know why, but when I teach, I don't sleep well the night before. Hmmmm...
Well, enjoy your weekend. Doing anything special? We have basketball and then a Christmas dinner at church on Sunday night. Just us girls. FUN!!

Hi Colton!
Tell your Mom thanks for signing Mamie's guestbook.
I noticed that you and she both listed your favorite color as blue. I guess that is my favorite, although I remember when I was little I often said that blue and red were both my favorites. That reminds me of the Monty Python movie where the quest for the Holy Grail brings the knights to a bridge guarded in the middle by a troll. The troll posed riddles and if you got the right answer you could cross, but if you got it wrong you were thrown into the deep gorge. One knight was asked, "What's your favorite color?" He answered, "Blue. I mean red!" and was tossed over the side. Then he asked, "What is the average weight of a swallow?" The next knight replied, "Would that be a European swallow or an African swallow?" The troll said, "I don't know!" and disappeared with a long scream.

I start my day thanking Him for Loving me.
I speak to Him as A dear dear friend, as a brother and a shield.
He is my comfort and my Light.
My day ends, He helps me know, with Him by my side the world becomes real wide, to explore and to think,
I will run and tell Jesus, with Him I am not weak.

It's FRIDAY!!! AND it's 80 degrees in mid November. What the heck?? How was your day? What's up for the weekend?? I taught 2nd grade today and the teacher neglected to tell me that it was their big Hoedown Day. I was sorry I didn't know... I'd have cowboy'd up. haha There I was in my flip flops... however I did have jeans on, so I wasn't totally out of it.
Hope you had a fabulous day!!

Happy almost Friday!!!
Good to read the post and hear that things are going well with you guys. Bronson is old enough to get a little job to help pay for his "habits" isn't he? He could babysit, or mow lawns or wash cars.... there's plenty for a 15 yr old to do, I'm sure. hahahaha I make Dani buy her own stuff too... she's the clothes horse. I'll buy some school clothes, but enough is enough. You don't need something new EVERY time we go to the store! haha Just a thought.
As for Colton wanting to marry Mom... I've heard that before. That and "I'm moving next door to you when I grow up." It's a nice thought. haha
Enjoy your weekend.... you deserve it. It's been crazy for you.
Love ya,

Hi All!
I'm just home from Korrine's celebration and wanted to let you all know how incredibly beautiful it was. As we got there, it started to rain.... perfect! It was standing room only with well over 1000 people there filling the auditorium, hallways and entrance. We came in and they started with a slide show and songs, followed by a recording that Korrine had made in 5th grade. Hearing her voice and her loving words to her family were touching. A man who has been teaching her guitar over the past few months sang a song he had written for her, the pastor spoke a bit and then turned the mic over to Matt, Korrine's dad. WOW.... He spoke beautifully and honestly for quite awhile. I guess while writing it, Dana told him that he had to stop, it was too long. There were many laughs and many tears. He told the story of her life, of her last days and of the amazingly courageous and inspirational 14 yr old young woman we celebrated. Then Korrine's grandfather read a poem he'd written and informed us that it was Matt's birthday today and had us all stand and sing to him. Then Dana spoke. She took her time and was very graceful with her words. She told of how they were totally honest with Korrine from the get go, and how she wanted us all to be kind to each other, to love and to remember Korrine. The pastor spoke and we all prayed and then random people came by and lit our candles in memory. As the last woman spoke, we all held our candles up in Korrine's honor.... it was very moving and powerful. I truly believe Korrine was in the room with us, and was loving every minute of her celebration.
At the reception I saw Sean, dressed in a suit looking incredible and being kind to all he spoke to. He was off with his buddies to find the room with the video games. I guess it would be pretty overwhelming to a 9 yr old!! Dana loved the service and was gracious as always. She said there were many more things she wish she could have said but it was running long so didn't want to overdo it. Many of us will make sure that she has much time to say all those things!
Thank you for your continued prayers for the Croghan family. Korrine is in the best place, and knows that she will see all of us again one day. They miss her every day, but in their faith are at peace. They plan to keep the fundraisers going, so that the next person with cancer who needs community love will get it and not have to worry about paying their bills, cooking dinner or gas prices.
That's what we can all do to remember Korrine.... be there for each other.

Whatcha been up to this weekend?? We ran out to the mall today and got a few things for Dani to wear to our Christmas party. Allie and I got shirts as well. Now to find pants and shoes for Dani. She doesn't have many "fancy" clothes these days.
Hope you all enjoy your long weekend. I know we will. They both have projects and will have people here tomorrow to work on them. Then Tues off and we're all set. November is such a great month... not much school, finals and Thanksgiving. Gotta love it!!
Have a wonderful evening.

Glad you had fun at the hockey game and success today at the yard sales. We went to Korrine's celebration of ilfe. It was touching. Something we'd all be happy to have.
Enjoy your weekend. Hug each other for me and know I'm thinking of you.
We're off to decorate the porch of a boy that the girls have known for many years. He's feeling that no one cares he's going to turn 17 tomorrow... so Dani made some brownies, Allie made a card and we all bought some candy and will get some balloons to decorate and let him know that WE CARE! :-)

Went to Santa Cruz marine mammal lab today with Allie. It was a ton of fun. I don't get many field trips with her, so it was a pure pleasure. We got to the school at 6:30am, and unfortunately I woke up at 3:22am and couldn't get back to sleep. I didn't feel well, but managed. We got home 2ish and I had some errands to do before coming home and crashing! haha Naw, haven't slept yet, but I'm ready!

Glad you all had a nice Halloween. Bronson.. lose the attitude! I went to see a Haitian dance theater tonight and one of the things about these 10 men were that they used to be child slaves. The drummer learned to drum while waiting in line for hours waiting to gather water for the family he was a slave to. We've got it pretty darned easy!!! They are here raising money for a school. They don't "get to" go to school. This school is for the 50 poorest kids who can't afford to go to school. I hope they raise the money!
Just thinking of you all and checking in. Glad you got some rest. A 60 hour week is tough. You're a great mom and woman Laura. Keep up the awesome work.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Glad you liked the card. You are wickedly awesome. ;-) Hope you have a fantastic Halloween.
Today is Homecoming for the girls. They are going to the game, and I might just pop over there and check out the queen ceremony at halftime of the game. Won't bother them, or hang out long, but it'll be fun to be outside and at a game.

Hey there,
Just thought I'd stop by while I had the chance. I'm going to be offline for a while. Until the 31st. We are fueding hard with our phone/internet provider and have told them to shut us off. We've ordered new service through another company, but sadly, the 31st is the first available date they have to get us hooked up. I wish I had known that before I ordered my service off. It was supposed to be turned off this morning, so I've been very lucky to be able to get on at all! lol
I hope you all are doing well. Sounds and looks like you had a great time with Amy. What wonderful memories you are giving the boys..and yourself! And Bronson..how awesome to be able to play for her and have one of the guys put a string on your guitar! You've got a wonderful friend in her!

Isaiah 55:6-11 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

I tore out the summer plants and planted some fall mums this morning and got some pretty fake foliage for the front planters (that way I won't kill the plants) and some pumpkins of various sizes. Now we're ready for fall. Do you suppose it will come now? It's almost 90 degrees here today. It starts out crisp but the sun heats the days so rapidly.

She even said the F-word under her breath about another customer with ME Standing right here with SARAH! I siad "EXCUSE ME????!" and she did not say a word after that. I can't get over some people, I really can't. It angers me and then just makes me sad!!!

Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Praying!
Psalms 46:1-5 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

Hi Guys!
So, how'd day one of your week off go? Hope you had a fantastic day and got some much needed rest before having to do night class. You rock, Laura!!
Boys... hope you had a good day at school. I'm not laughing at you having to go to school, I promise. ;-) It's just so nice that Mom has a couple of days to herself. You'll understand one day.

Jesus understands suffering. Praying right now!
Hebrews 2:9-10 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Hey Colton, Bronson and Laura..
I hope today finds you feeling better and able to enjoy the fall weather!
It's certainly been fall weather here in NC. Not too hot during the day and not too cold at night. I'm really looking forward to much less snow than we had in Michigan!
Things have been busy here. Arissa took a fall off my bed, she was jumping on it, and busted open her head. She's got 3 staples in it! We'll go this weekend to get them out. Then also been busy getting my house ready for company. Remember Kristi and Justin from Mississippi? They are coming this weekend. I'm very excited, after about 6 years of emailing, CB and now myspace, we are finally going to meet! Of course, my stepson Justin is thrilled to be able to have another boy to play video games with. It'll be fun having 2 Justins in the house! ha ha
I read on the news this morning, that yet another earthquake hit. But this in San Bernadino Valley. How far away are you from that area?
Glenn and I just had our 4th wedding anniversary yesterday. Nothing special, as he had to work 16 hours. Maybe we'll do a dinner over the weekend!
Anyhow...just wanted to check in.
Give my love to all!
Love ya

Look to the Lord for strength, whatever the future holds! Oh how I'm praying!
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

I talked to a friend of mine who lives in CO and her son's middle school books are all online so they don't have to carry books around. Is that what you guys have? Interesting!!

HI there Laura!
So sorry about the fish.. yes, I'd stay away from anything canned from the dollar store!!! I stick to crackers and candy there and then just non-food items. I really like buying the gift bags and wrapping paper etc. !
Hope you are feeling better now!!
Hey, did you watch the CBS Sunday morning news last Sunday?? They showed a group of legally blind students (I think they were students.. maybe in their late teens, early 20's) one had RP. They were on this long trip on the colorado River that goes through the grand canyon.. they hiked down to the bottom then ran the rapids.. camped along the way. They even found this cave and reversed rolls with the guides and THEY guided THEM through this dark cave. It was amazing. It did not stop them and one said that "after this, finding a lost sock will not be a big deal" They were all having so much fun with eachother it just made me smile.
Well, I wanted to let you know about that and I hope that all is going okay on your end. We are home today b/c Vermont has a state-wide inservice for teachers. It's nice to have a day off. I really needed it! We're going down to the farm to pick indian corn (check out our blog.. www.ejcsparenti.blogspot.com for updated pics!! )

Life in this world can look so bleak at times. But the victory is ours through Christ! Put your trust in Him! Praying!
1 Corinthians 15:54-57 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Seattle, WA USA - Saturday, September 6, 2008 1:10 AM CDT
Logan, Utah, September 5, 2008 — Single mother of three, self proclaimed Supermompreneur Nicolee Castiglione, is smiling ear to ear. She says, “I am helping others with the most important emergency preparedness item available, as well as providing a living for myself and my three children. Does it get any better than that? Just this summer, we relocated to Logan after searching for an affordable new place with a great sense of community, to call home. This is heaven on earth,” she adds.
Castiglione provides the most innovative product essential for survival in any circumstance, Atmospheric Water Generators. Water from air, it’s always there! The XZIEX Machine creates clean, fresh, alkaline drinking water out of thin air by extracting water from the humidity found naturally in Earth’s atmosphere. Since there are billions of gallons of water recycling in the atmosphere every day, the perpetual supply is limitless and accessible almost everywhere in the world. The XZIEX Machine extracts the water through a sophisticated condensation process and sends it through a series of state-of-science purifiers. The unprecedented technology removes all inorganic materials, undesirable odors and tastes, particulate matter smaller than .01 microns, and all forms of bacteria, metals, minerals, viruses and other elements that might pose any kind of health risk.
Americans went through about 50,000,000,000 plastic water bottles last year; 167 plastic bottles for each person. Our recycling rate for these bottles is only 23%, which means we pitch 38,000,000,000 bottles per year into landfills. Plastic water bottles are not biodegradable and nobody knows how long it takes for a plastic bottle to degrade, but estimates seem to vary between a thousand years and forever. These bottles are filling up our landfills. After water is drunk from plastic bottles and they are disposed of plastic bottles become responsible for the production of toxic compounds such as chloric acids, heavy metals and dioxins in the atmosphere. More than one third in weight of the plastic waste remains in form of ash, which still contains these harmful toxins.
The XZIEX Atmospheric Water Generator is similar to a 5-gallon water cooler, but all similarities stop there. XZIEX offers two different types of machines; the XZIEX Elite and the XZIEX Pro. Both machines filter the water using ultra violet light that kills the germs and bacteria that is in the water. The water is then sent through two solid carbon block water filters, which removes the volatile organic chemicals that could be in the water. It is then filtered through a UF membrane to remove any remaining bacteria and common viruses. The end result is safe, clean, drinking water directly from the air. It needs no water lines, runs on 110v and can plug into any generator. Depending on local electricity costs, a gallon of XZIEX™ water costs about 10 cents to produce. Commercial and portable units are also available. Solar units are coming soon. Never run out of water again!
NewGlobalWater.com’s vision is to make a difference in the lives of millions of people. They will share their message of hope with the world. By sharing with you the true miracle that the XZIEX Atmospheric Water Generator can bring to you and the potential this incredible machine has to help with the world’s lack of fresh drinking water.

Psalms 86:8-11 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

I'm so sorry to hear about Lance. I do pray that he ends up wherever is best for him and that it all gets worked out. You are such a caring person... he's lucky to have you in his life.
Hope you guys are enjoying your long weekend. It's been nice and quiet around here the past couple of days. ;-) I love it! Dani had a friend over last night, and a couple of "friends" were supposed to come over, and did... but were afraid that I'd get mad that they were there, so they never came in. Silly. haha They sat out in their car for an hour, and the girls and I sat inside watching them. haha Oh well....
Have a great day and I'm glad to know you're ok, just busy. :-)

Psalms 34:6-10 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Hey Laura
I have to comment on your comment that at least 3 people stared at Colton .....I cant tell you how that upsets me ...this last friday I was with a client (Who is a ampatee leg) and everyone just sat thier and stared at him I wanted to get up and say ya hes lost his leg would you like a pic so you can stare at him longer
I mean I can understand maybe takin a double look but to be blanent about staring at anyone for any reason just make my blood boil but then again I feel sorry for these people cause they are so non understanding and uncoothed that they cant do anything other then be a bobble head
You know you I and anyone else that deals with the ones being stared at are the LUCKY ONES
Why
We know what true love is
We know how it is to be trusted
We rejoice at their accomplacments (and they are big deals to us)
We get the inside the box privlages
We feel thier hurting hearts and protect them
We protect them
We get to watch them grow learn and become productive
We are the ones we know what is right , how to look out for others feelings and better people because of our children/elerdly people ....
So yes the stares are bobble heads but we get to see love touch and interact whom they are stearing at ....
I feel sorry for them ....you I the next person who is taking care of the special needs know and are truly really lucky....
I Love You Laura
Pita
PS the kids go back to school on Wedsday here in Kansas ...you should see the stores ..

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

So glad you are enjoying your new school. You're going to be great. I love RSP! I teach there whenever possible. Actually, I'm the only one they will call to sub, otherwise the aide says she'll do it alone (not legal I don't think, but she doesn't want some crazy sub in there). I applied for the aide job, but wasn't a district employee (right, UGH) so didn't even get an interview. The principal and his secretary said that they really wanted me.

And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.
6. I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me!
7. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if Thou abide with me.
8. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Hey Guys..
I think you will like the Batman movie. Glenn and Sammie went and saw it over the weekend. It's not something that I'd enjoy, so I chose to stay home with Arissa and watch Noggin! They said it was a GREAT movie and worth every penny they spent there. So now I know, when it does come out on DVD, it'll be purchased by Glenn and added to his very large collection of movies that I have no interest in! ha ha!
And Laura..UGH on the double dipping! Especially in this day and age! I think as I've gotten older, I've become a germ-a-phobic! I'm very big into the hand sanitizers and don't like anyone drinking from my pop, be it bottle, can or a straw! Believe it or not, I even feel that way about Glenn touching my stuff. I just don't care for germs. I've even got Arissa trained well on the handwashing and such. I've explained over and over to her, that germs can make a person sick!
I just think though, that it was very rude of your friend to dig into your dessert. Yes, she asked for ONE bite..that's where it should've ended, unless like you said, she asked for some to be put on a seperate plate! I'm sorry you didn't get to have your birthday treat after all!
I hope the rest of your week goes better and that you get to go see that movie!
Love to you all,

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

SURPRISE!!
I've finally made it to the guestbook! It's just been crazy, getting all the way settled and getting Sammie settled in too! Then of course, job hunting. I do have an interview on Tuesday morning!
Well, it's the week of our birthdays! Mine tomorrow, yours Wednesday! Too bad we weren't closer, we'd celebrate by spoiling each other! lol
We are loving North Carolina! Our complex has 2 swim pools, so we do spend a little time out there each day! Arissa has been learning how to swim!
I did go check out Bronson's youtube video. I'm so proud of him. That's a lot of hard work and self discipline. Glenn plays guitar, but he's not been practicing it lately. He doesn't know near as many songs as Bronson!
I bet the boys are going to have a very nice time at Hearst Mansion. I hope you take lots of pictures.
The new slideshow looks great. I'm so sorry that we've not been able to get to it. We went 2 weeks after we got here, with no internet at all. That just about drove me nuts!
It really stinks that the pastor, whose son inured Bronson, couldn't/wouldn't even so much as speak to you. I agree with you on him though! He's lucky you didn't send him all of the medical bills!
And I think Colton handled his son with much tact. I don't know if I would've been able to! Way to go, Colton!
I suppose I better get off here, it's raining and the thunder and lighning are coming...
I'll be in touch soon!

So glad to hear things are going well and you boys are exercising, and Laura is still belly dancing... WHOOHOO! BIKINI? Uh, I don't think so! hahahahahaha Good for you guys for staying healthy though, that's really important!
Hopefully the heat will subside a bit and the air will blow around so we get some fresh stuff. It's so dirty, you can't see the hills around here. UGH... Oh well, it could be worse. It could always be worse.
I didn't know you were off your anti-anxiety meds. Hmmm, you were doing so well. Do I need to check with you daily to make sure you stay on that? There's nothing wrong with having to take it. Do you think badly of me because I have to take thyroid meds??
Ok, well I'm not going to preach... you don't need that! haha Worrying gets you nowhere. He is there to take care of whatever needs you have. Turn them over to Him and let it be. I know, easier said than done. But seriously, worrying about EVERYTHING isn't worth it. It'll drive you mad!

Laura - Check the FFB website. The convention is a Fri-Mon the first weekend in August. It might be tough since you have to be back to work July 30th... You can always buy some CD's of the sessions to keep you updated on advances made in RP. I have a hotel reservation, but I haven't registered with the FFB yet. It's expensive! My boys and I did a presentation for a Lion's club a few months ago, and they said they help fund low vision programs. Just an FYI...

I was a counselor at camp K.E.E.P. in May, and I was going through a dark time. That whole week I memorized and prayed Psalm 23. God becomes as real as the Word we store in our heart, so keep His words on your lips and in your heart and He will see you through. On Friday of that week, He delivered me out of the snare that threatened me.
At camp K.E.E.P. I encountered every physical element mentioned in Psalm 23 (water, green pastures, valley, table), and that gave the scripture an immediate application.

Mom's right... pick your friends wisely. :-) Life lessons. Not always easy to learn -- or not always easy lessons. People are not always what they seem to be. They're good boys, they'll do well.
Some good news about Korrine -- they took out her "line" and she was able to have a shower, the first since Dec 27! She's such a warrior, I'm constantly amazed. Anyhow, she's out of PICU and is eating a bit and trying to get up and move around to gain strength so she can go home for a few days before the next round of chemo on July 1. Thank you for your prayers for her, she can feel them and they are helping!

Hey Guys!
Sounds like the boys are enjoying their time off. Hope Dov gets home soon so they can get swimming!! It's been hot here as well. We are finally out for summer (well, Allie starts work soon, and Dani's going to volunteer) but aren't doing anything, really. We may go look at college campuses. Fun stuff. I can't believe my baby will be leaving next year. I have to enjoy her while she's here.
Sorry to hear you're so blue, Laura. People let you down, that's for sure. Hang in there!!
Have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend!
Love ya (and I'm not even a little kid! haha)

Hey Larua
How you doing this weekend !! I have been reading your journals about end of school and school stuff just in general ...I dont know if you know this or not but I grew up a princapals daughter at frist I was a teachers daughter then Daddy N got the princapal postion ...lol I was a trouble maker and got kicked out of every school in the high desert so Dad N took me to his school George Air Force Base School ...
I rember when I was growing up everyone was so excited that school was ending ...I wasnt cause I knew I still had to wait on my Dad to close his school room or finish out the year with his princapal stuff ....so when you talk of the schooling stuff I just kind of chuckled rembering all the stuff that went on in them days
Oh I wasnt so horrid when I went to Dad N school cause he would take care of me insteed of the school RUTRO lol I rember Dad N telling me it dont matter what your doing or how you do it I will always know whats going on and will deal with you
Welp OK so I thought I was above all that I was in 5th grade and was right next to Dad N room I was in Mr Lees Class he was and to this day is still the bomb and in my schooling years he is who I rember and the square dancing too ...any ways I was in Mr Lees class and wasnt being very good lol MR Lee was correcting me and I said some not so pleasent things to him ....Mr Lee didnt do nothing but open the portion that was between his and Dads class room and told Dad N that he needed to deal with me ...I was schoked I was mad I was very angry but Dad N gave me a licking and sent me back to class (oh how I was imberrased ) but from that day forward I never gave any teachers a stink about nothing ...I dont know why I decided to tell you this ...maybe it is to get you to laugh cause Laura I was a pill back then ...oh who am I fooling I am still a pill lol
but I wanted you to know about my school days and end of school years with Daddy N
I hope your tranzfer to a new job is what you been looking for Laura your such a wonderful person and if I had children I would want you to be thier teacher for your real you expect produtivity but you also encourge your class ...I probelly speak for most of your readers ...that where ever you go where ever your teaching that school distric is by far the best just for having you there at thier school teaching those students
I am so proud to call you friend
Give the boys our love and tell them that they are being thought of

Hey there, Laura, Bronson and Colton...
I'm so sorry I've not been by. I've been so busy getting this house all packed up. I'm almost done. By the time I get done today, pretty much all I'll have left to do, is load the truck on Saturday morning and head out to NC!
Glenn will be flying in tomorrow morning, then we'll probably take a couple of hours to go see my mom and family. My aunt passed away yesterday, so I feel I really need to go see them all. That, and the fact that I'll be so far away from them!
School ends here tomorrow. Justin is really looking forward to that. He will stay behind, here in Michigan, with his mom for the summer. I'm anxious to see his grades, as he really stepped them up this last marking period!
I will be without computer after tomorrow night. I'm not sure how long it will take me to get things all set up down there. We get the keys to the apartment on Monday morning, then get to unload in the major heat they've been having! fun fun!
Anyhow...I will sit down with some extra time tonight and get caught up on your journal postings!
KNow that even though I've not been here, I have been thinking about you!
Have a great day!

Hey Laura Colton and Bronson
Good Morning !!! Frist off I have to tell you boys that I am proud of both of your accolmaments in your school year
Laura I cant imange the pride you have for both of your boys
I am slso proud of you for the way that your raising your son and the way that you adovcate on Coltons behalf and the foundation fighting blindness ...you my friend have taught me so meany things through the years ...you have taught me what strenth is and that not every one needs a partner to raise children or to get through life
I am amazed by you ...I just wish that we would have met by now ...I mean how meany years has it been now ???
I was hoping to catch up to you and Kathy H while I was in Ca but didnt get to time flew by so fast then Eds Auntie passed and I had to get home to Kansas to be with Ed
I should of come to meet you but I was so afraid to leave my Mom to long for I really feared that she wasnt going to make it but by the grace of god she did ....
I do so hope that you and the boys get to take alil trip this summer ...Ed and I will be planted to the Ranch for the price of gas is just out of this world today I got up to hear that it is 4.14 here in Kansas and there is talk of it going to 8 bucks a gallon ...heck how are any of us supposed to make it ...this is a two income family here in Kansas and just Ed and I and Laura we are bearly making it or have our head above water
Ok I have a major toothake I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that you and your boys are in my thoughts
Oh ya I agree about the school system with you more then you know ...

First, awesome job to Bronson on the performance!
Laura-I am so sorry that things are so rough at work. I hope that you get back the environment you enjoy. I totally agree with you about the English. It should be a requirement ro learn and there should be a limit on years of ESL. I wish that the charter idea would catch on...If schools had to compete for funds then things would improve...If you're looking for something to do this summer I would volunteer. Maybe with Child Life in the hospital or casa.
Hope your next week is better!

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Quite a lot of stuff covered in this blog, Laura! I certainly hope none of those dreams you had come true. I don't think they will. You take good care of Colton, and there's no one who can take him away. Scary though! IKES...
I'm sorry for what you're going through with Bronson. I think you are doing the right thing though. Hang in there. I know it's hard when he's giving you grief about it, but you're doing what you think is right and you are the mom!!
You are an amazing person, who does what she believes is right, and no one can, or should, fault you for that. Just be the person you are and let those who judge or criticize you go on their way.

Hi Guys!
Hope you are able to get some rest tonight. I'm not sleeping well either... waking every night at 3am. Strange. Allie had SATs today about 40 min away, so up early, then Dani and I went to see my nephews play baseball while waiting to get Allie from her test. Went to pick her up at 1pm, and then she had a 3 hour study session for the AP English test that's coming up. I think she's tested out after STAR testing all week and then today.
Glad Bronson's liking his brace. I'm sure it makes him feel more secure. That's awesome.
Colton... buddy, you've got to turn the computer off the right way or it won't be your friend. haha Hang in there pal!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Get some sleep!

So glad to hear that Bronson doesn't need surgery. I'm sure that's a weight off all of you. Now if he can get it strong, and not have any more accidents. Good luck Bronson!!!
What's the Shafter paper doing an article on you guys for? I can't wait to read it. Exciting!
The article that Allie wrote on Korrine's swimathon was online and someone saw it and posted it on Craigslist. Pretty cool. No word on Korrine...just keep her in your prayers. Thanks

I looked up the injury and surgery-first, surgery isn't always done and isn't recommended unless the knee problem results in loss of function. If Bronson does need surgery ask about arthroscopic which has a very short recovery time...I am sorry that the world keeps throwing problems at you. On a lighter note it seems that two guys are interested in you lol. Maybe you should look more into that substitute psychologist ;). The bell trick was very clever and ornery. I hope you can find a job that makes you happy...Have a good week!

Hi guys it is great to see the support that you have got and I really hope you manage to beat the problems that may face you -I am sure it must be tough. But we do all have an ability to face things and sometimes - ingenuity can create solutions - like a cochlear implant. I once met Mr Stevie Wonder and was amazed - and he was so brilliant . Years alter I learnt of how hard eh fought in his battle - and as I come from Australia I recall a professor on tele saying what amzing potential they have using the saame principal as that employed with the bionic ear. So I wrote this from what I would imagined Mr Stevie Wonder might see. Like everyone - I would hope you do not need it but there may well be little bits in there that can help you regardless . Good luck and enjoy- - and to anyone else - if someone could find a way to develop this maybe it might help a few people. Cheers Peter - Australia
VISION
Don’t ask me that’s what I’d say
Every day’s a perfect day
My eyes they fail me
Life comes that way
But my shoes bring vison
Anyway
Even in the darkest night
Like a burning neon light
You won’t defeat me – no no way
For my shoes bring vision anyway
The hardest times I can get through
A magic sensor inside my shoe
You’ll not squash me – no – no way
For my shoes bring vision -anyway
My eyes are blind but still I see
That sensor sees in front of me
Your five foot two – perhaps five three
Your face is blank but you sound okay
Life brings vison anyway .
If I could dream – I’d OWN this stage
And draw you in with tricks as I sat and played
My keyboard moving everyway
Me – no vision – NO - NO WAY
One day they’ll find the key not found
Like Edison captured sound
Till then I’ll dream and be on my way
Imagination is wisdom – anyway.

I can't figure out why the pic is so small. So for now, I put it down with the journal writing. I'll have Glenn check to see if he can make it bigger somehow. Almost all of the pics got to me that small.
I just love that pic of the boys and Sir Elton too! What memories you all will carry!
Get ahold of me later, I'll have Glenn look at things. Though it's a small pic, at least there's on there. I am bummed, because it is such a beautiful picture of the three of them!

Romans 8:26-28 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

As we head into Good Friday, think of the Savior and what He did on this day. Praying!
Romans 5:6-8 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Hi Guys!
I'm praying that the answer to your questions will come to you, Laura. I know it's not easy, but you do a wonderful job with the boys and are doing all you can to make sure that they are well taken care of.
I'm out of here after work tomorrow but will be thinking of you and hoping that no pink slip comes your way. Just remember that He doesn't give you more than you can handle. It's hard to believe sometimes, but I think it's true. You are so strong... much more than you realize.
Now, sleep well and stop walking/talking in your sleep... just have sweet dreams!
**Hope the Civil War Days went well!!

I have seen too many 'instructors' of special ed that were plain neglectful and a bit creepy. It's good to see someone like you. I hope those other IEPs fly by :).

I am sorry about all the worries...at least you have something fun to look forward to-Challenge Aspen and a cruise. You are a great mom. I totally agree with your thoughts on busyness and God and have another quote for you (I collect quotes): "Sometimes we feel that the busier we are, the more important we are--as though our busyness defines our worth. Brothers and sisters, we can spend a
lifetime whirling about at a feverish pace, checking off list after list of things that in the end really don't matter. "That we do a lot may not be so important. That we focus the energy of our minds, our hearts, and our souls on those things of eternal significance-- that is essential. "As the clatter and clamor of life bustle about us, we hear shouting to 'come here' and to 'go there.' In the midst of the noise and seductive voices that compete for our time and interest, a solitary figure stands on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, calling quietly to us, 'Follow me.'" (Joseph B. Wirthlin)

No matter what life brings, no matter how dark it gets, we always have hope in the Lord! Praying!
Lamentations 3:21-26 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

Sorry I've been away from the computer for a few days. Still been praying but wanted to share such special verses that remind us all that much more importantly the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for each of us perfectly according to His Will.
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Hey Stranger!!
We are doing great - I'm back to work - I started on Jan 7th, 2008. I work for an ad agency and my client is the Taco Bell franchisees in Baltimore and Washington. I work from home so I have lots of flexibility.
My divorce is final next month, and the kids are doing well. Matthew turns 11 on Feb 16th and Josh turns 8 on March 16th. Happy birthday to your boys too!
And Emily turns 5 this summer and starts kindergarten in the Fall.
Thanks for checking in on us - I'm not good at updating the website, but I plan to!
Sounds like you're doing well!
What's challenge Aspen?

WOW, what a great journal!! Now I don't have to ask you many questions, do I? haha I'm glad things are going so well with the boys. My nephews play guitar and drums, and of course the computer/video games. My mom had them for a week and made them go outside and go on the treadmill to get some exercise! haha My 10 yr old nephew walked for an hour on it!!! The 7 yr old went for 10 min. Funny how kids are so different.
Laura, hang in there. The court stuff will go away and you'll look back wondering why you even cared so much. I hope something opens in elementary, if that's where you'd rather be. It is much easier and loving there, if you ask me. :)

These verses were part of my husband's sermon text today. This is a really good passage and speaks a lot to us all as we face a new year. Praying!
Lamentations 3:21-26 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

I was surprised this morning to see a hymn added at the end of the service when we normally have silent prayer. I was distressed to see that it was "Abide With Me" because it's been many years since I've been able to sing that hymn without crying. Today was no exception. I want to share the verse that the hymn is based on as I continue to pray.

Sorry it's been so long since I've written. I've been thinking of you, but just haven't taken the time to sit and write you. I'm sorry.
Sounds like you are all busy, and looking forward to Christmas. We are too. School isn't out here until the 19th either... kinda late. Oh well, can't complain. It'll be fun to have a couple of weeks off.
Hope your knee is feeling better B. A guy on our basketball team just tweaked his knee too. He's in a brace and may be out for the year.
Ok, well I'm off to finish my weekend chores. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend and know that I love ya and am thinking of you, even if I don't write daily.

Wow sounds like I have missed out on a lot. I am sorry things around here have been kind of messed up big time but hopefully they are back on track now. Laura I totally understand what you say about the friend thing. I have been there before. Im here if you ever need someone to talk to. And believe me I have had my share of teen tantrums. Ask my boys they have landed on their butts a few times and I have heard it all from them like how it is my fault their dad never came around and so on. It sucked. But my kids and I have a close relationship and I wouldn't change that for the world. It is getting cold here also. I live over by the airport now and well I am worried about what this winter holds in store for me..lol. Well I need to get going I need to go to bed I am reallllllllly sick. Yippee!!

Please know that I am undergoing some "stuff" in my life right now, so I'm not on the computer as much, but you are in my heart and my prayers constantly.

Hello my favorite people in Cali...
What's going on this weekend? Nothing here, just working, as usual! Might sit around, about race time though! That's one good thing about this job!
I forgot to set my clocks back last night, so I was up extremely early this morning. I think it was 4:45 am! No one in their right mind, should be up that early! lol
Anyhow, just wanted to run by and say hi! Also to check on Bronson and Colton. Holy cow on the 3=6 months of therapy. He did it up THAT bad?? WOW!! And probation? Come on..no wonder there's so much violence in the schools these days! I'm all about giving him another chance, but..there are limits. And shame, shame on this kids parents!
I get angry everytime I think about it!
I shouldn't, it's not doing me, you or Bronson any good!
How's Colton doing through all of this? Give them both huge hugs from me! (cause they are at that age where they do not want the girl hugs)

Racing season is winding down - can you believe it? I'm hoping Gordon can win his 5th championship. I'm hoping Dale Jr can finish a race without an engine blowing or a tire falling off. I no longer wish for wins - but for a safe finish for him. His luck has been nothing but bad! 88 in 08 will surely have more success!!

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Happy Friday! Oh how I love Fridays! haha Hope you guys had a wonderful week. It's been a crazy one around here with work and Homecoming. The carnival was last night and we went to see the skits. It was a lot of fun, and a nice night weatherwise. Allie's class won the competition, which is a suprise because no matter what-- the senior class always wins. Well, not this year!! haha

Good luck on that new book! Maybe Bronson can put his computer skills to work as a computer programmer or similar field-they get $$ and are wanted. I think everyone goes through a rough season. Our family it was 9th grade. Time of change and deciding what you wanted in life, etc.
I get the worrying for the future. I have always been like that and still am. Sometimes I have to be careful about worrying too much about progression of disease and loss of abilities-that I forget to enjoy what I have now. I have spent times living in complete fear of "when this will happen." It has happened but somehow you always get through.
I am a firm believer of everything happens for a reason and has a purpose :) Though sometimes other people's decisions make us suffer...
Anyway I am thinking of you and will pray for you.

How have things been? I hope school is going well for all of you. I've been busy, and am sorry I haven't checked in for awhile. You've all been on my mind though.
So, what are you going to be for Halloween this year? The girls aren't going to dress up, but they are going to the corn maze. Oooooo, fun stuff! I take my 2nd graders to the pumpkin patch on Wed. That will be fun. We just went on a nature hike at one of our state parks on Friday. They saw a bobcat! It was exciting.

Hi Colton, Bronson, and Laura...
Yep, it's me, the stranger amongst us. How have things been? Shoot, I feel bad, I've not even emailed or called. I'm so on it, huh?
Just been busy, getting ready for our state licensing inspection of the home and all.
Our weather has turned pretty chilly most nights. It's been getting down in the 40's. The color change is pretty on the trees though. Today is supposed to be in the 80's for daytime temps, but back in 40's for night! Crazy, huh?
I just hope it's warm enough for me to take Arissa out for Halloween, since this will be the first one she's old enough to go out for.
I will try to get an email out to you later today. And I certainly want to try to call you this weekend. You may have to remind me, as I get side-tracked fairly easy these days!! lol
Have a great day!!

I am sorry that I haven't checked in more often I have been cracking the books studying for my pharmacy license. And guess what I DID IT! The weather here has been nuts. We have gotten cold weather then hot then raining...lol silly weather is trying to make everyone sick I guess. As long as it doesn't snow anytime soon it is all right I guess. My grandson is going to be born in 4 weeks. I am going to have a little boy in my home very soon and I am so excited. He too is going through a lot medically. He might have to have brain surgery as soon as he is born but I know that if I put our faith in god he will see our family through all this. I have thought about starting a page for him on here but wanted to wait a little while first. His name is going to be Miles Joseph Smith. Eva told me to go ahead and make him a page but I wouldn't even know where to begin. Well I have to get to bed I have to work this weekend. :) Take care all of you and know that I am thinking of you.

I"m very sorry to read of your former sister-in-law. Of coure, the family(all of you) will be in my prayers.
Glad to hear that the boys are doing well and continuing with piano. Someday, you'll have to figure out how to get a recording of them and put on here! (I'm sure they'd "love" you for that one, huh?)
Glenn plays guitar, he's taught himself, as well as Rodney's youngest son Sean has. They learned off the internet. Sean is now in a band. They are rock and roll, so naturally, I don't go listen to them often.
Glad to read that Bronson and Colton are being "normal" siblings. How's the teenage time going for Bronson?? I have a pre-teen male that is driving me NUTS! lol

Have to share these verses on a regular basis because they're so very comforting. Knowing that there are people out there praying is one thing, but knowing that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying...what greater comfort could there be?
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Hi Guys!
WOW... another week here and gone, boy does time fly?! Sounds like you are busy being smart at school... good for you guys! We're back at school and work and keeping busy, and the summer heat is kicking in. Silly me for thinking that we might actually make it through a summer without the 100+ days. haha
Enjoy your long weekend... I know we will. Have fun if you go to the race, and enjoy your time with Amy next weekend!! Can't wait to hear about it.
Many Hugs,
Sue <bakfour@aol.com>

Know that I'm praying hard for you right now!
Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Making my rounds to let you know that I'm still here praying!
Can't wait to hear all about the concert and the fun times you'll have!
Ephesians 6:10-13 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Alls I can say is WOW about you guys seeing that baby. Today's world is so scary there are people all over the place that would harm children and innocent babies without even thinking about it. AWESOME JOB to all of you. Sorry I have not been online that often to stay in touch. I am getting ready to be a grandma to a little boy. He has some special medical problems but he is a child of god that everyone will just love no matter what. I wanted to tell you that I work in a pharmacy as a technician there and one of my pharmacist is a HUGE Jeff fan. He is in fact at the races this weekend. I will see if he can get me anything from the races to send you. Music lessons sound like a blast I wish I would of learned how to play when I was younger. Laura I hope your back is better. Well I have to go and cook for 175 people so I will check back in as soon as I can. Boys give mom a hug and hug each other you all deserve it. Hugs and Kisses

Good job boys!! You NEVER know what could have happened to that baby!!!
I wanted to stop in and check up on you all. I have a smile on my face thinking of you. School starts here on Monday for the THREE of us. can't believe the summer is over. :(
On a good note though, the kids' teachers are both very nice. Both are men and very pleasant and soft spoken. It will be a good year I know..

Hi Laura, Bronson and Colton!!
Your friends from Maryland think of you often, even though we don't write very much these days.
We still live about 3 miles from the FFB headquarters. They are kicking off a walk in Baltimore soon!
We are doing well - school starts again this Monday.
Matthew's vision has deteriorated to 20/400, and Josh is approaching 20/200. Both boys will receive white canes and o&M training this Fall.
Matthew completed grade 2 contracted braille, but he needs to work on his fluency. He can't read much print anymore, so he's going to have to become an expert reading with his fingers! Josh still doesn't realize the impact that blindness will have on his life, but he's an angry little boy. But that could also be the separation and pending divorce from Dad...
So, things are as good as can be expected!
I'm looking for a job, so if you hear of anything...
Lots of love and thanks for checking in on us!
Mindy and kids!

These verses are always so comforting to me! Know I'm praying as always!
John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Hi guys
Remember me????? It has been so long since I have been on here. I need to go back and read some of the journals so I know what's going on. Bronson I cannot believe how big you have gotten and congratulations on your 8th grade graduation.And Colton you are getting to be quite the young man too. Hope you have had a fun summer.
You boys are certainly heroes in my book. You were that little girls "guardian angel". Hope you get to visit with Amy and Vince when you go to the concert. Wish I were going with you.
Will talk to you all later.
Love you guys,
Grandma Ret

Happy Saturday!!
Glad things are going well with you guys, and I'm so happy that you love your job, Laura. It's about time!!
Good thing you guys found that baby. I had a similar thing happen when I was walking my dog. A little girl 2 yrs walked across the street to pet Bailey. Mom was unloading groceries and not paying attention. I took her home, and the dad seemed mad that I "bothered" him. WOW... turns out that it's one of Dani's best friends who lives there with his stepdad and mom. The girl was his sister.
Thank goodness you found her and all was safe.
Enjoy your weekend.
Hugs!

Thanks for the long update! So much good news!
Am tired and can't think tonight so am going to share what I think have to be some of THE most comforting words in all of Scripture. And don't worry...tired or not I'm still praying!
Romans 8:26-28 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

May the Lord continue to give you strength whatever the day may bring. Praying!
Psalms 105:1-4 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

It's always so hard trying to find different ways to say I'm praying...know that I'm praying!
Psalms 5:1-3 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
