New Name & Look

HI All

I've been looking for a fresh blog look. I found this one here shelsscraps.blogspot.com She has a ton of creative ideas to pick from.

If you go there, be sure to give her the credit she deserves. Change is good!

Be blessed!

Isaac and Mom

We discovered that Isaac and Mom have a similar smile

I have a friend

I have a friend who has a drinking husband. He has also been hitting her. She just confided in me today. They have children.

PLEASE pray for her husband to be set free, for hers and her children's safety. They have financial needs.

She is a Christian. Her children also desire to serve the Lord.

London Dreamin'

My dear sweet Maya

at dad's over the summer

Flat Grace visit's Perrysburg for a short time!

an older pic from last year - notice no Maya and Isaac

Here's my latest obsession. Heather asked me to go to London Jan 1-? (5 or 6) to take Delani back from her Christmas Break with her dad. Heather, Firas, Maya and Adam will be in Dubai for most of Dec.

She and Firas would pay for my flight and provide housing. Brian is hesitant because he'd be with the kids and he really wants to go too. But the timing seems perfect - he'd miss two days of work max. and I bet we could get a sitter for at least one of the days.

We were hoping to go in the spring of next year. (still pondering what we'd do with the kids because we wanted to take a romantic trip alone)

Heather suggested I bring Grace with me in Jan. But Brian and I would be responsible for her ticket - which is close to $1000 right now.

OH MY! The though of traveling abroad sounds magnificent! Being over there with Heather and her family makes me so happy I could almost cry! I love my sister and her kids so stinkin much!

Please pray for things to unfold as the Lord has planned.

nothing too exciting here

well we now have a democratic president elect. not a shock, just a disapointment.

Isaac's way to play piano

This is how I found him. He planned it all out. Crazy Kid!!! He was very proud of himself!

17 Years Later

I had a chance to get together with my closest high school friends this past Friday night. It's been 17 years since the first "prom" photo. Ironically, I was 17 years old in the picture.

Tara, Nicole and Tina - I really enjoyed catching up! I sure hope we do not have to wait too long to do it again!!! Love you guys!!!
