Random Pictures...

Well, once again time has gotten away from me and I've failed to share an update with you.
So, I have some recent pictures I've taken and I'll use them to update you...

This is just a random occasion where some of Heather's really good friends were all inside the house together. Most of the time, they are driving up in the driveway and heading out the door. The two girls with Heather are the two girls that went to Florida with us last March for Heather's 16th birthday celebration, Lauren and Samantha. Then in the back row - they boys are L to R...Sean, Brent and Paul. They had no structured plans that night so they hung out here in my office for a bit and laughed and told all their crazy teenager stories.

Another snow day - can you believe it? We got another 3 inches or so but the worst part was the ice this time. The kids had another snow day so I got some more pictures of Josh and Missi enjoying all the white stuff. Ms. Heather slept right through it once again :)


Look who moved into my office this week? FRED! Fred is assumed to be the reason that Ms. Heather hasn't been able to get rid of her cough in the last week or so. She changed the type of shavings that she used when cleaning Fred's cage and all the sudden Heather was back to barking up a storm. We went back to see Dr. Linderman and he wanted to try removing Fred from Heather's room to see if it helped - it did and Heather seems to be coughing less and less!
Fred is much more active now that she's down here where there is light. She used to be in Heather's bathroom and it stayed dark all the time unless Heather was in there with the light on - a win - win for everyone!
This is a picture from my recent lunch date with the "middle school girls". Those of you who know my days of serving in Children's Ministry know that I had a passion for these girls while they were in my ministry. We all bonded and have continued to nurture what we started. They are in middle school and blooming into these beautiful young ladies. Abby, Annie and Mallary!
We had lunch last Sunday right after church and all their mom's joined us too. It's always nice to catch up with them and see their smiles.
You're all caught up now -
Leave comments, let me know you were here!

Looks like things have been busy at your house! Love hearing about Fred as now we have "Oreo", who joined our family right after Christmas. She is Sidney's little friend and is lots of fun. She spends lots of time late at night in her wheel and sounds like she's going to run it right off the cage. Hope you are doing well!

I am amazed at how grown up and beautiful the middle school girls look! They are the picture of beauty! So glad you have stayed in touch with them. You are a positive influence on their lives, Patti!
