Happy Birthday Finn!

Landon wanted to wish his cousin, Finley a very happy 2nd birthday!

M.E.N.D.

I am involved with a support group called M.E.N.D (mommies enduring neonatal death). We meet once a month to help support mothers going through the loss of a child at any stage of their pregnancy. When we lost Samuel there was nothing like this out there. A woman I met at BSF started a chapter in the Tulsa area in April 2008 and it is such a wonderful place for women (or men) to come and find support among others going through similar situations.

We are having our first annual fundraiser to support this ministry. It's going to be a BUNCO BASH Thurs. Sept 17th at 6:30pm. If you want to or are able to attend the cost is $10 a person and potatoes with all the fixin's will be provided. Bunco is a game that they will explain if you aren't familiar with it. You play in groups of four, so if you could get 4 people together that would be even better! If you know of anyone that plays Bunco or would help support this ministry by coming let me know.

Also, there will be prizes, so if anyone would be interested in contributing anything, that would be awesome or if you come, you just might win!

Thank you!

Whirlwind

These last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind and I am left wondering where the summer has gone! The day after our Neighborhood Bible Club, we left for Ozark Family Camp. We had a really good time with family and friends aside from getting the stomach flu. I tell you what, it's no fun being sick and taking care of a sick baby! Thankfully it was just for a day. John Heller ministered to us and it was a really encouraging time all around.

We left Turkey Hill on Friday and headed straight to Osage Beach, where we met my family for our annual vacation on the Lake. We had such a good time together. We felt bad though because we brought the stomach flu with us and out of the 16 of us only 3 avoided the vicious plague. In the midst of the sickness, we really did have a wonderful time as a family. I was even able to water ski (my medication is working!). Landon loved the boat and the tube, but hated his life jacket. One of my favorite times was sitting out on the deck talking about things of the Lord and singing praise songs. It really felt like a taste of what it will be like in heaven.

As sad as it was sad to come to an end, I am looking forward to getting back into the normal routine and it feels SO good to sleep in my own bed after being gone so long.

Many pictures and videos to come...
