So did you think I was Lost??

Hello to all and I hope that everyone is having a great summer and most have returned to school by now!!! Yes, it has went by so fast. It seems just like yesterday it was May 30 and now we are half way into August.

I have not blogged in forever and ever but we have had so much going that it is not funny. We went on vacation with our friends the Fullers to SC, the kids have been to camps, and we have had many Dr. appts with Noah. So it has been eventful. The kids had a great time with their friends at camps this year and it has been a great growing experience for them all. We had a great time with our crazy Fuller friends at the beach and we went to tour another place in Charleston where we saw a fort, sub, and a aircraft carrier. We really had a great time and we love them very much. It was a much needed vacation.

We also have went to many appts with Noah as they were trying to get on the right track of what was going on. We found that he has no food allergies that have triggered the chrones and his ANA was negative. So they ran many more blood test and found that he does not have immune response to some of his childhood shots so we are getting them again this week, Monday, and will recheck him again in 6 weeks. So with all of this he is being home schooled and we are to get a teacher one a week to come here. This decision was hard and it has been on him . He is not playing any sports and does miss his friends but overall this was the best decision. We have been taking at night this week about how we feel and I ask them question like do you want to tell God anything or do you need to apologize for anything? and he spoke up saying "Mom I really enjoyed being home this week, I like be schooled here!" So we will see how things go so please remember him as we go through alot of stuff these next months, they feel this is hereditary so we have to to check Sis as some point .

So we have started 9th , 6th, and 3rd grade this week. Nathanael loves it but very nervous. Sis is upset that she is alone at school without her brothers and why she can not stay here with Noah. So it has been nuts!!!!!!!! I mean NUTS!! At the same time Rob has left for three weeks to MS with who know what he will do again in the future of deployment!!!!!

Guys please remember our family during this time of change. God is good and I know He will see us through and take care of my Noah it is just hard at times. i just wanted to update and say hey to all and that we love ya guys.

I also wanted to share something else with you. i had called my Mom today and we were talking about stuff well I was rambling on and on about purpose for my life feeling the need or worth so it seems from my kids, husband etc. So I was sweeping the office when I found a book from awhile back that I had gotten. It is a book plus CD and the title is Something Worth Leaving Behind. I know you have hear it before but the funny thing was I had not seen it in months and it was behind the desk. So I opened it up and the words read something like this

I may not go down in history ...

I just want someone to remember me.

This book talks about the role call of greatness like Leonardo da Vinci, Mozart, and Jesus.

This is a partial list and many names could be added each day and these are names of everyday people making a difference ... names like yours!!

You may not create masterpieces or symphonies or make an impact on humanity like Jesus did and still does but believing you belong in their company because of the legacy you are leaving in the lives of those around you.

By painting...with the color of love

By writing ... with the melody of love

By touching... with the gift of love

By reaching ... with the open arms of love

By changing the future ... with the promise of love

You have made a difference because...

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeed.

That is something worth leaving behind.

I just thought this was so odd but I know it was God giving me a boost to keep up the task at hand and you would just have to read this whole book or hear the song to get the whole impact it has. I just had to share with you and say have a blessed day and love to all!!! God is good !!!!

The Party Continues

Well today Miss Grace had a softball game so for her B-day today we went to the park after and then for ice cream because my girl now she is a party person and we party the whole month ( LOL!!!!! ). Here a a few shots of our fun.

The top is Miss Sis and the next is Noah with Ty and Mitchell the bottom is my special friends Amy and Denise, who I love dearly.

Grace Kathereine turns 8, yes 8

HELLO!!! My fellow blog friends and hope this day brings you much happiness. Yes I am alittle late on my site here but we have been soo stinken busy that I have not had time to think much less blog!!!! I hope all is well with everyone and that the summer brings much fun.

Well Miss Grace Katherine is so big that it just kills me because my baby is no longer a baby that is for sure. She is so funny, sweet, loving and smart, my girl is so much fun!!!! I can not believe how time has gone and what she has brought to my life. We had a party with family and friends a few weeks ago due to Rob being out of town with guard (pray for us the whole deployment thing is still a go at this time but God can change that) so we had it early. We had fun but the shelter was the wrong on and it was sooo small plus we had rain!

Here are a few pictures I really do not know what is wrong with our pictures but you get the idea.

Noah with the voice of an angel

Yes this is my Noah doing a solo, yes I said solo.... How stinking funny is that well, if you know my Noah you know this is just great because he would never talk in front of others as well as sing!!! We were so happy to see him sing and he did a great job !! He had a great week at camp and was so happy to see his friends.

Here he is with Ty and Jarrett and his sweet friend Kay Kay who he thinks the world of.

Here is a picture of Noah at camp having a great time!!! He is just a cutie and a funny person. He also looks just like his dad. Thanks Jennifer for the picture. We love you Noah very much!!!

ONE BUSY DAY

Hello all and hope everyone is doing well!! We have been soo busy with the kids that I really need a vacation already!!! LOL W have stayed at a ball field or Dr. all summer so far. We have been busy with camps also.

We Got back from Knoxville on Friday and regrouped as we were going to send Nathanael to Doe River Gorge for camp on Sunday and Noah left for church camp on Monday so we had lots to do with packing. So on Sunday we sent Nathanael off for a week of super fun as he moved up to the bigger kids this year!!! I am thankful they get to attend because it is a awesome experience and a wonderful week of learning about the Lord. So then we head off for dinner for Fathers day. It was a sad day for me as I really miss my daddy and wish he could see my kids but God had other plans. On Sunday morning Rob and Grace Katherine called his dad and she was talking to him and telling how much she loved him and it really broke my heart that my dad could not hear those words from her. So I was sad at church but I was not the only one that was missing daddy's. I also was glad that I had Rob to share with because he is a great dad and I love him lots.

So we head home and start Noah's packing and then head to bed for the next day to be super nuts. I took Noah to church camp and then head to the ballgame for Sis from there it was lunch then back to the camp because I had to get Noah for his appt. and Sis stayed there with friends while we went because she gets so bored. She really thought she was super cool with the other kids. Well, we get there and finally see the Dr. and we got news that we were not wanting to hear. The camera Noah swallowed on Thursday showed open areas in his intestine and bleeding. They feel this is lots of infection and possible allergy to something but the reason behind it is the beginning stages of crohn's disease. So we are very concerned and he is on lots of meds as well as having reflux that might need surgery. Please pray for him as he has lots of pain and is not dealing well with all the meds. We will return on the 9th and start other meds as well as a referral to another Dr. He may not be able to attend school if things do not get better with meds. I have been praying about homeschooling but have had mixed feeling with it but now just not sure where God is leading us.

I feel very overwhelmed as Rob is dealing with possible deployment again and all the stuff with the kids and no real answers on what to do. So please remember Noah in your prayers. I just wanted to catch everyone up and say thanks so much !!!!!! With lots of love and I will post again soon and get back on track... well I can hope to!!! LOL KIM
