BLOG OVERLOAD!

Ted did great on his first week back at work! We are still getting back in the routine of each day. Since I started a full time job back in August we had barely gotten it down when things changed again. So we are now settling in once again to both of us getting off to work each day!

This may be a blog overload, but we have lots going on with our families, and I should have posted each event separately because it's all big news, but I haven't been too good about blogging lately ... so I'll catch you all up a little here. We have so much to be thankful for!

The last few days I have been focused on a huge prayer request! My neice, Mary (17-year old daughter of my sister Kathleen), had a surgery today. She underwent an aortic replacement along with an aortic valve replacement. Everything went great! She will be in ICU for a few days, but is expected to make a full recovery!

When you have wonderful big families like we do, there is always something going on. Here are some more of our family prayers and blessings ...

Matt & Missy (my son and daughter-in-law) are expecting twins! They are due in October!

Reci and Marc (Julie's daughter and son-in-law) are also expecting a baby in October!

CJ (Julie's son) and Brooke will be married on June 13th!

Our very dear friends' daughter, Amy, and her fiance Jeff will also be married on June 13th!

Matt (Ted's nephew) and Amanda will be married on June 27th!

Katie (my daughter) will graduate from Midwestern State Nursing School on May 15th!

Taylor (my neice) will graduate from Baylor Univeristy on May 15th!

Today my mom had cataract surgery ... no complications!

Like I said, when you have a big blended and extended family, there's always something going on!

Thank God you DO have a blog! It would be hard to keep up on all your family. Now your gonna have to follow up with all the updates. I'll call you about Mary. I'd be interested in knowing where and who did her surgery.

Glad to see you blogging again but I think I need some sort of spreadsheet to keep track of who's who and what's what. My prayers for your family are going to start sounding like "Lord, please check Tina's blog and well - you know what to do"
