Family Game Night

After the crazy month we have endured, we finally had a free evening with absolutely nothing to do. As you can imagine, that is a rare occurrence around this house. I decided that we should make it a fun night. We ate an early dinner, had our baths & got in pajamas all by 6:30. Then we got out the games! We played Bunco, Uno & Yahtzee :) We had popcorn and laughed a lot. It was a great night as a family after all the ups and downs we have had these past few weeks.




For those of you who don't know, two weeks ago, Chris' mom was in a very serious accident that caused significant brain trauma. The doctors were not sure she was even going to make it through the night. Thanks be to God, she did and is now in a rehab center. Physically she is healing great and her mental state is improving. She has difficulty finding the right words and is tired very easily. She is working daily with several different types of therapists. Continue to pray for God's healing hand in her life. Also pray for Chris' dad as he is trying to work, take care of Sandy, take care of the house and everything else in life. They live too far away for us to provide daily help so Chris is trying to get there as much as possible on the weekends.



Look back next week for the girl's school pictures to be posted!

Shannon - I was shocked to read about Chris' mom - please let him know that we are praying for his mom and the rest of the family too.

I got onto your blog from Carrie's. You probably already know, but we have been praying since day one for your Mom.
