What's going on?!

Dealing with some odd emotions the past few days. It seems like trials are happening to our friends BIG time. Not that we aren't having any of our own, we are but these are actual physical/health trials.

Good news that Rick VanderVeen is finally home. But a time of adjustment for all there and all the medical appointments that Kay has to keep track of is a full-time job in itself. Then at Church on Sunday we saw some friends we haven't seen for a few months and his lower leg had been amputated. Their faith and positive attitude were just amazing. Then when I checked my email on Sunday I read about our friends. Her husband was really sick and was in the hospital. He has bacterial meningits! As of last night he was returning to his old self except (and this is a BIG except) his legs are paralyzed. The nerves have been tested and that is okay. They are hoping that the inflamation on his spinal cord will decrease with the anti-biotics and other meds. Prayers please!!! The medical staff is puzzled as to what is the cause of the meningits. Hopefully that can be discovered very quickly. It has been wonderful to see how Heavenly Father has blessed all of these people. HE truly does love us!

And Rob is on a business trip. I just hate it when he leaves. I just don't sleep well when he's gone. And if that isn't enough, a co-worker of Tabitha's that is 6 months pregnant called at 8:00am on Monday needing her to come in for her. It seems over the weekend she started spotting. How scary is that?! Of course she went on immediate bed rest. And for the past few days when she rested she was fine but once she stood up to do things, the spotting returns. Prayers for sweet Brittany and her baby.

So I've tried to be semi-productive today and keep busy. We've already done 3 loads of laundry and put them away. David's is sorting his clothes that are too small to make way for the new clothes we bought last week to start school. Made a batch of cookies to take to piano/voice lessons tonight. And we have swimming lessons in a few hours ~ last lesson tomorrow. And try to finish our Star Wars Marathon. We're on Episode V!

And here's a little bit of "eye candy" of what David's playing with today.
And he still has MORE cars upstairs!

Yes! That's toilet car!
Seymour from CARS just makes me smile!
Everyone take care of yourselves and love each other!!
