Ponder the Path of Thy Feet.....

This poem touched me so much I had to put on here to share! Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow Today was Daddy's Day at school, and she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today. But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home. But the little girl went to school eager to tell them all. About a dad she never sees a dad who never calls. here were dads along the wall in back, for everyone to meet. Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their seats. One by one the teacher called a student from the class to introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly passed.

New accomplishments occur each week and this week it is sitting up on his own. I can not believe that he is that big. We all seem to not be able to get enough of him. We enjoy seeing his accomplishments as much as he enjoys doing them. What has been up with all of you? For us we are going through some spiritual battles trying to find in what direction the Lord has us going. We are also battling with the decision of what to do with our housing situation. Our lease is up on the first of June so we are praying for a house really soon, would you join us in that. All the children are busy with schooling as well as soccer. We are considering doing a monthly family newsletter. I think it would be great for the children's writing skills as well it will help keep all those who do not read my blog more informed in our lives. Yes my blog is for only you special ones!

Well Noah had his surgery. And I could tell that there were many who prayed because he did not complain or cry that he had not eaten. In fact he was smiling at all the nurses and was so pleasant. The surgery did not last more than 30 minutes. The surgeon came out to let us know how he did, and stated that as they were putting him to sleep he was smiling at everyone. Waking up was a bit difficult. He was not happy, nor did he like the fact his hand was boarded down. That was his only bout of screaming. After they took the IV out, and unboarded his hands he seemed to calm down enough to fall back to sleep and eat a little bit. He has done great- the first day home all he did was sleep. I expected lots of tears of pain, and uncomfort, but he has done wonderful and is his nomral happy self.
