Life's Ups and Downs




Our "Granny" is in the hospital, so that has taken some of the excitement out of our celebrating this weekend. She had surgery Thursday for an abdominal obstuction and is still in Dekalb Medical Center's ICU. She wanted us to go on and celebrate the birthdays together, even though we weren't going to the lake, like we had originally planned. Matthew's 36th birthday is today, Evan's 5th is tomorrow, and Amy's 37th is next week, so we are going to get together at our house at 2:00 today. Mother has always been our rock and very much the " patriach " of the family. Even at age 88( almost 89 ) she is interested in everything about each child, grandchild and great-grandchild! So, in addition to being with her at the hospital as much as possible, we have tried to continue our lives, as well as we can.

Friday morning was Abby's kindergarten graduation. Poppy attended that and got some cute pictures of Abby and her friends graduating. Then, yesterday, Amy and Corin had Evan's birthday party with his school friends at a wall-climbing place in Decatur. It was a new experience for Evan and most of his friends, but they all seemed to have a great time! ( My blog is giving me some trouble, but I'll try to post some pictures from both events).

Please be in prayer for our sweet "Granny". She still has a way to go in her recuperating process.
