One Amazing Family

Over the past week I have stumbled on a new blog. Its called noahsteven.blogspot.com. It is blog of a family whos tiny baby boy is in the hospital and then recently it has become a tribute to him since his death. Althogh the story is so super sad, i am more drawn to how God has blessed them through this time. This is an amazing family.

Hey Jess you'll get a kick out of this....

Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchers next to each other, outside the operating room. The first kid leans over and asks, "What are you in here for?" The second kid says, "I'm in here to get my tonsils out and I'm a little nervous." The first kid says, "You've got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, you get lots of Jell-O and ice cream. It's a breeze." The second kid then asks, "What are you here for?" The first kid says, "A circumcision." The second kid replies, "Whoa, good luck buddy, I had that done when I was born. Couldn't walk for a year."

The Phone Call

My husband called tonight at a stop over in New York. I was so excited to hear his voice and know he is on his way. The most exciting thing about the call is that we will have no more 3 second delays in our phone conversations. So he could be here as early as late, late, late friday night. WAHOO!!!!!!!!

He is on his way HOME!!!!! oh my gosh i could pee my pants

Wahoo!!! I thought this day would never come. Casey has left Afghanistan and hopefully will never return. Right now he is Asia somewhere and should land in North Carolina on Monday. Then he could be back in California in as little as a week.

Super cute kid

Josiah came to visit...

and he played...


and he played...

and then a MIGHTY flood came (by means of a little boy grabbing on to a 3 gal fish tank) and then his mommy and i cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned

here is Nehemiah's fish in a temporary location, as of this post he is still alive since his stressful ordeal.

To end it all Josiah cried and cried while we cleaned and cleaned. Jess kept telling him he was ok and to stop crying. When we had soaked up enough we stopped for a moment and changed him out of his soaking wet clothes. It was then that we realized the poor little dude hurt his foot.

one more thing...Jess, my lawyers will be contacting you shortly to arrange a settlement of a can of carpet freshner and a smoothie from jamba juice.
