Our son's surgery was on Monday and they released him from the hospital on Thursday . . .and he was readmitted yesterday and will be there most of this week. Our granddaughter #1 sent one of her favorite stuffies to the hospital with her daddy.
I hung some pictures of all three girls in the Jack and Jill bathroom upstairs.
Granddaughter #1 is on the top. She is almost 9 years old!! The photo on the left is from Halloween and the photo on the right is from the Christmas tree farm outing.
Granddaughter #3 is in the middle in the baptism gown she wore for her dedication. It has been worn by everyone from Mark and George on down. (they each had one since they were twins which came in handy since we had twins!!)
The bottom row left is Granddaughter #2. She is 5 1/2 and granddaughter #3 (sisters) to her right.
I cross-stitched the picture/scripture below for my in-laws 40+ years ago. After Mark's mom died, I brought it home and hung it in the same bathroom with the photos above.
These crosses are in the same bathroom. The photo of Laura and Glenn (our twins) was also at Mark's momma's house and I put it on the counter.
On Saturday night, we invited our neighbors (traveling buddies/fellow Auburn fans) pver for white chicken chili and Auburn basketball. We won . . .but oh my goodness!!
I made brown sugar brownies. Mark has eaten quite a few . . .stress eating.
It was nice to have a fire and watch basketball. We did some yelling!
Sunday was Celebration Sunday - the culmination of our generosity month.
Our gym was transformed once again. Our chef prepared brunch and it was served from 9:30-10:45.
One young woman made all of those paper flowers. I love how it echoes the theme of the wallpaper flowers behind the welcome desk.
Glenn was readmitted to the hospital. Mark left immediately following early worship and went to sit with them in the ER. We both went back last night after he was finally in a room.
I'm going to be honest. January has been a tough month and we aren't through with the tough stuff. We are clinging to our faith, family, and friends. We give thanks for all three!!
Prayers lifted for your family. Please keep us posted. I like the decorations at your church. That's a great balloon arch and the paper flowers are lovely. Have a good week ahead and praying that your February will be better than your January has been. Hugs.
