Girls Will Rule (this week!)


Technically, I know that I'll still be out-numbered in my testosterone-filled abode but my 16 year-old neice, Hannah, and her best friend are flying to Atlanta to spend a few days with us this week! Hannah and I have never lived close and so I am really looking forward to the opportunity to get to know her better. Of course, the fact, that I have no daughters makes this sweeter...we can shop, have manicures, watch chick flicks...

My brother told me that when the first part of next week comes, I'll be SO glad I have all boys (that was encouraging). As I told him I hope it goes so well, that when she leaves, I'll be sorry she doesn't belong to me...

Oh, that sounds like sooo much fun! I hope you really enjoy yourselves this week. I don't think I would trade my girls for anything, except when they start the girlie fights! ;)

As far as the recipies, send them on! I would love to see some new dishes, as long as they don't include tofu!

98 lbs. Wow.. what an accomplishement. Even w/ me laying off the cokes (not diet) and exercising about 3 times a week, i haven't lost ANYTHING! :(
Oh Well, maybe in time!

Amy,
I am commenting on here so you can see my response to your comment on my page!! I hope that is ok. To answer your question I was in the same grade as your brother Chris and always wondered what happened to him. And I guess this must be a picture of his daughter? She is beautiful. I graduated in 90. Iva, Tricia, Esther, and I keep in contact often and we try to visit as a family with Dave and Iva as well. We all have My Space pages, but I am the only one with blogspot. I remember Beth Bell....I always thought she was so pretty. Does she have a blog too? Time sure does fly. I really enjoy keeping up on your blog as well, it has been a real encouragement to see your faith shine even in the midst of trials. You are an inspiration.

Homeschooling Curriculum Help?

Shannon is hosting a backwards edition of what-works-for-me Wednesday , where you can ask for advice/ or suggestions instead of giving them. Yeah! I need some advice. David and I are really praying and considering homeschooling our boys, K4 and grades 2 and 6 —beginning this fall. Can anybody recommend a curriculum, either as a whole or as a subject, that you are crazy about that doesn’t make you crazy? Secondly, if you could give one tip for “survival” what would that be?

February 27 Update

I just called to see if Amy wanted to blog anything today, but at the moment she is talking on the phone to her wonderful friend, Deb Rose. Deb and her husband, Brian, used to live in Louisville several years ago. They were our very best friends. If I were talking to the Roses this evening, I would tell them that Amy is desperately scared. The docs have given her a very stiff dose of antibiotics, but as of this moment, her body temp is climbing once again. Her primary doctor told her he fears that this infection may be fungal in nature. I don’t completely understand all of the implications, except that we are shooting at this infection with our biggest guns, but it just keeps on coming. In her introspective manner, she shared with me today that if she had known she would lose her sight, she would have invested it more wisely in the things she read and watched: “What if I go completely blind and can’t read the Bible? I have to get more serious about memorizing.” This morning a do

Amy does not feel well enough to blog today, so the sub is blogging on her behalf. Yesterday Amy thought she saw some new spots in her left eye and felt that she was experiencing some of the same sensations that she had during her stroke, so she went to the doctor. He said that he sees no new lesions, but that doesn’t mean that she couldn’t have another stroke. He recommended that she begin steroids to reduce any retinal inflammation. Amy continues to need your prayers. Blessings, David
