This Week

This week has been topsy turvy for our family.  We started the week out with our normal schedule but on Wednesday morning Wayne had to go to Waco for his dad's surgery so he left extremely early to be there by 7 a.m. and then Kelsie woke up early throwing up at 6 a.m.  YUK!!  She hates to throw up but luckily only did that once but felt miserable and nauseated all day with fever so she pretty much stayed in bed and watched TV.  Thursday and Friday she kept getting better but progress was slow and she was pretty lethargic from not eating anything but applesauce and jello.  My little 3 and 4 year olds had their Spring Training program Thursday night and Kelsie was able to make it to that and sit in the sound booth with Wayne.  The kids did great and they were super cute in their baseball attire!  

Saturday morning (today), Kelsie woke up feeling 100% well!  YAY!  Our life connection group were scheduled to go and play Bingo at Victoria Gardens Nursing Home this afternoon.  We had a great time playing with the little ladies and they enjoyed getting their prizes.  We paired each child with a resident and they helped them hear the calls of letter and number.  It was funny to hear their conversations and play bingo.  After that, we came home and got ready for the daddy/daughter dance at school.  Kelsie looked so pretty in her new dress and shoes.  She is growing up fast.  Wayne bought her a pretty wrist corsage.  After the dance, we went to dinner with the Alfords at La Hacienda Ranch - yum!  A fun night and we were so glad Kelsie was well to enjoy it - she was worried earlier in the week that she wouldn't feel like it.  They had a good time and laughed a lot.  

House News - they are almost finished framing.  They have made a lot of progress this week. It's exciting to see it change every day.  There are some pics below of the house and of Kelsie and Wayne before the dance.  

This week's thankful list - 1. Kelsie is well and was able to go to bingo and the dance today and that we did not get sick.  2. Watching our kids minister at the nursing home - it was so sweet how willing they were to pass out cookies, help the ladies in their wheelchairs to the prize table, repeat letters and numbers so they could play and just generally love on these ladies.   3. Wayne's safe travels to and from Waco as he went to be with his dad for surgery - that the surgery went well and seems to be successful so far.  4. The bad weather in the area bypassed us - I don't think I could've handled any other drama this week.  5.  The beautiful weather we had on Friday. Wayne and I sat on the porch for hours just reading and soaking up the sun. We are looking forward to celebrating the week of Easter.  I hope you have a time set aside to celebrate the death and resurrection of our Christ and remember that it is His sacrifice that allows us to stand before the Father.  Thank you God!!!

Coconut Juice - really?  Does anyone drink that or was in Pina Colada Friday?
