Big Boy Haircut

My baby boy got a big boy haircut tonight....

Sheesh - Where'd my baby go? 

We also got him a new bike this week. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow when we are outside playing. 

Til then - We keep on keeping on! 

The big boys (Chris and Shawn) head to their mom's house tomorrow.  Pray for Chad - He has a 14 hour car drive tomorrow....\

Chris will be back in 2 weeks.  Shawn will be back the middle of August. 

Happy Summer Time! 

Pray With Me?

Yesterday was my birthday.  I turned 31 - YIKES!

I also read a blog that I have been following for some time.  I first read of this blog from Angie Smith who is the wife of singer Todd Smith from Selah (love them!).  A while back she linked to a friend who delivered a premie (almost a year ago now) (He is thriving thankfully) and I found that family's blog.  At one point, this friend posted about a little girl named Lucy.  I love that name so I clicked on the beautiful picture of this 5 year old girl.

AND I WAS HOOKED ON THIS FAMILY!

This little girl Lucy has had brain cancer and it went into remission and she was sent home.  They have just recently (like yesterday - my birthday) learned and shared that the Cancer is back and in full force.  They are now just waiting and praying as it appears to only be a matter of time before she leaves this Earth to her Heavenly Home.

I love the idea of Prayer Warriors.  I am one of them.  I co-hosted the blog Safe Haven for a while and still visit often to check up on a few Omaha families.  I feel a certain connection to them.

I know everyone is busy, and some of these stories are hard to read, but if you feel inclined, would you please pray with me.  As a woman, a teacher, a believer, A MOM.... I feel so strongly for these people who I don't even know.  Visit Lucy's family, Love up on them.  Go to SafeHaven (on my sidebar) and pick a family or two if you feel inclined.  These are AMAZING children who are going through a whole heck of a lot.  Their families and siblings and relatives need to know that there are people out there who are praying and caring.

Thanks for reading - I know that some think this is an obsession or a cause to create worry within me, but I cannot help but check in on these families.  It is a stronger power calling me to read, check up and pray for them.  I think of the children often as I go about my day, especially the school age ones or the ones about the same age as my own children.  I know that if I am ever placed in a similar situation, I would want a team of warriors behind me, us, my family.  That is why I care, I read and I pray.

There is much to be thankful for.... Praise the Lord!

First "Real" Trip to the Dentist

Waiting in the Waiting Room

Bubble Guppies - Tooth on the Looth
Isaac was an instant fan - This place is the coolest! 

Watching her every move.  He had to get X-Rays and did fabulous! 

Laying back in the chair. 

Letting her brush his teeth

Using the cool Mini-Mirror to count his teeth.

FLUORIDE!!!

Trying to help her count to 20.
He got Kudos for doing better than both his big brothers! 

Spitting it all out after the fluoride treatment
