Today

Happy Birthday, Jesus and Merry CHRISTmas to family and friends.

This is an extra special Christmas for Ivan and me as we will be enjoying our little Elijah's first Christmas. We went to Church this evening (well, last night) for the children's play, Elijah loved it. Ivan is not home yet so I read Luke 2 to Elijah. We will be reading "The Christmas Story" to Elijah every Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone, may you all be blessed with knowing the true meaning.

Elijah's First Illness

For the last 10 days my poor babe has had a cough and cold. We went to see his pediatrician and discovered Elijah has an infection in both ears. He is almost finished with his antibiotics now and is doing much better. Last night he slept all night with no coughing and seems bright and happy this morning.
Prayers answered, thank you Lord.

Elijah

Elijah turned 7 months old today and in the doctor's office he rolled over from his back to his tummy for the first time. Elijah did this a few times but would not do it again when we got home! Maybe tomorrow. Oh, he weighed 15lbs and 1 ounce! My little baby is growing.

Elijah

Elijah is rolling over from his tummy to his back!

Billy Graham

This is a quote I read on Billy Graham's website billygraham.org
"If I am anything it is because God is everything"

That is one of the best and truest things I have ever read.
It is a great website, I hope you will take a look at it.

Funny and short clip

Anyone who knows me knows I am very anti horse-racing however this ad is really very funny.
Enjoy the ad but please do not support horse racing. Only ask me why not if you are prepared to listen to me tell you the mostly unknown horrors behind the scenes of this sport of kings.

Surgery

Yesterday (2 Dec) I had surgery on my arm to remove some screws from my ulna. I had broken my ulna near my wrist back in February and when it did not heal after being in a cast I had a plate and screws inserted in March. I am back at home and trying to take it easy! One-handed typing is a nuisance.
Lord, thank You for seeing me safely through this surgery.
