A little pre 4th of July fun!!



This weekend the boys and I headed to Haven to see Joshuas family. His cousin Kristen, her husband Pat and their kiddos were going to be in town. They live in Omaha, and we dont get a chance to hook up with them very often, so we jumped at the chance to spend some time hanging out with them. As an added bonus, Aunt Michelle, Bonnie, Aunt Jan and Uncle Jack were there too! (Michelle and Bonnie had a record setting 9 hour trip from Springfield due to all the flooding, but the finally made it!!!) The kids had a ball taking trips to the fireworks stand, then coming back and setting them off in the back alley of Grandma Mema's house. It was cool and rainy most of the weekend, so it was good they had something to occupy their time!!! :D We had lots and lots of fun playing and eating....(fried chicken and mashed potatos...you know I was in HEAVEN!!!)...lauging like crazy people. Lets just say that the word peanuts sounds a lot like another word... ;) The boys were so worn out, and promptly fell asleep on the way home Sunday evening. Now they are counting the sleeps until the real 4th of July, 'cause Papa and Aunt Chrystal, along with some help from Aunt Michelle and Aunt Jan sent us home with lots of fireworks! What a great weekend!

Hi!
You don't know me but I was Googling "Ethan Miles" to find the website of my daughter-in-law's sister who is going to have a baby on August 10. They have already named him Ethan--and their last name is Miles! Ethan has been diagnosed with a rare heart defect referred to as HLHS. Basically his left ventrical is missing--and he can't survive without surgery or a heart transplant. He will need many surgeries once he is born. Since I noticed you enjoy your boys so much (great pictures--cute kids) and you said you like doing things at your church I was wondering if you had a prayer chain where you could add our precious Ethan Miles' name for a safe delivery and wisdom for all the doctors at UNC who will be working with him. His mom and dad could use prayers, too. This has been a stressful pregnancy and will continue once Ethan is born. We would appreciate it. Would love to hear from you.
