Some pics

Been a long time!!

Wow!! Can't believe that summer is gone. Where has the time flown.

So much has happened over the summer months. I tend to keep up with my Facebook more than the Blog. My husband doesn't realize keeping up on these sites takes time!! HAHA.

Savannah has turned 16, Derrick turned 13 this past Sunday. They both had great birthdays!!!

Savannah was recently in the Miss Chesterfield County Fair pageant. They are both starting basketball up again. Derrick decided not to play football this year.

Can't believe it was a year ago last Wed that my Dad went back into the hospital for the last time...and a year ago this Friday that we was transfered to Henrico Doctors where he ramained till he went to be with the Lord!! GOLLY...I MISS HIM SOOO MUCH!!!

I do however get to go to West Virginia this weekend to the Ladies Meeting...REALLY looking forward to it!! I'll try to post some pictures. If I don't...catch 'em on Facebook!!

Remember....God is good....ALL THE TIME!!!

Great Sunday and firsrt swim meet of the season.

Had an awesome day at church today. Preacher was really on; great message about doing things for others, going the 2nd mile and making sure you're doing it for the right reasons!

Afterwards Savannah went with Preacher and another teen girl to the nursing home to sing and preach. They always have a great time sharing and caring for the shut-ins, many of which never have visitors or family that live near by. It's a great blessing to those folks.

Later this afternoon Derrick and Savannah had their first swim meet of the season against Woodmont. They both swam great. Derrick swam in 4 events and Savannah was supposed to swim in 3 but at the last minute she was asked to fill in for the Seniors Relay. That's always fun to watch...the senior swimmers battle it out in the final relay races. They always have a great time!!

Here's a few photos from today. Till next time...remember GOD IS GOOD!!!...all the time!

Finally better!!!

Well I had an eventful week. Tuesday my right side started hurting a bit. As the day progressed it go worse to the point of being unbearable. Dale came home early and took me to patient first. After several xrays and blood work found that I had kidney stones. Boy was that painful. They put me on strong pain medication and I went home to wait it out.
Today I went for a catscan at the Urologist office, he said everything was clear. Needless to say it has been a long week...painful and frustrating.
I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY HUSBAND...he babied me all the way. Took good care of me and was there for my every whim!!!

Now I have to get my "system" back in check...the pain medication kinda slowed things up if you know what I mean!!! Any way, much better than the pain I was in.

Well baseball tomorrow, and our 1st swim meet on Sunday afternoon....SO GLAD IM BETTER!!!

Memorial Day and other fun!!!

Well a lot have happened since I last wrote. We had a great time Memorial Day with my family at Chapel Church. This is the church where my Dad and his sibblings grew up and attended their younger years.....a lot of memories there.



My Mom had a nice surprise also. One of my uncles is with the mission board to Poland. My Dad had asked him to find my Mom a toothpick holder on his next trip. Uncle Wayne honored that request and presented a beautiful Polish crystal holder to my mom during the dinner. It was a really great day!!

Memorial Day Monday, Me, Dale and the kids headed to the pool for a day of fun. Had a really nice time.


Of course with all that said and Memorial Day behind us....swim team has begun. So our weekly schedule consists now of...Monday baseball practice, Tuesday game for either Savannah or Derrick, Wendesday church, Thursday games, Friday teen activity or basketball practice for Derrick.....Monday - Friday swim practice 4-5....OK IM TIRED....is the weekend here yet!! LOL....oh wait we've got games on Saturdays too due to the wonderful rain....LOL
