Kara's ear

She's got an inner ear infection. We thought she had swimmer's ear but that wasn't the case. We just got back from the doctor's. Dr. Karr gave her ear drops for the pain and an antibotic.

bronchitis

Please keep me in your prayers as I've had bronchitis for a week now. I have enjoyed the resting part of this sickness. I do however admit that poor stewardship was a result. While facing many trials in the last eight weeks, the Lord kept me and strengthened me. He did however show me my weakness in the realm of exercise. I have been very conscious of eating healthy foods for quite some time but not in regards to maintaining a habit of moderate exercise. I'm still 35 lbs. overweight and this has added to my weakened immune system. He is a faithful Father who corrects His children.

Uncle John

Praise the Lord, he continues to heal. He is leaving next Friday for VA to stay with his daughter, Myla, and her family to begin his chemo treatment. Please pray for his recovery and for Aunt Nancy to be able to join him.

Swimming, yard work, field trips

We have been gearing up for summer. The pool is set and in use already. Albert and the boys have got the yard squared away and we are getting in as many field trips as possible before the heat sets in. We've visited Kleb Nature Preserve and will be going to the Oceanstar Oilrig Museum on Monday with a trip to Cypress Top on Tuesday.

Mercer Botanical Gardens

We really enjoyed our afternoon here at the county park on Aldine Westfield Rd. It was a little warm but we had our canteens.

Kleb Nature Preserve

We traveled to Tomball to the Harris County park with the Heaney's to walk the trails and visit the homestead. The workers there were kind and helpful. They even opened the Kleb home for us to see the inside. It was a great afternoon of exploration and fellowship. Our next field trip will be to Cypress Top to visit the Juergen's railroad community near Hwy 290 and Cypress-Rosehill.

Cinco de Mayo celebration

Mr. Huffman made us his famous tres leche cake for the fiesta. We ate egg, sausage, and potato tacos to keep with the theme. Ole!

Ah, a spider!!!

This female was rescued by our team from the harsh winter. Note the egg sack. After having a dream that everyone entering our house turned into spider people, mom convinced the rescuers to do a release.

Easter 2010

We celebrated with 1/2 the Armour clan and with Uncle John.

Jeremiah's birthday

His mom made an awesome brownie cake in the shape of TX. It tasted as good as it looked. Thanks Armour's for letting us celebrate with you.

Christmas 2009

My birthday

Yes, that's cheesecake, folks. For lunch, my family took me to Sweet Tomatoes. Then we did some Christmas shopping at The Woodlands Mall. That evening, we celebrated with Stephanie,
Brooke, and Zachary. I was so blessed by my children's lovely gifts and thoughtfulness. My husband then took me to dinner to Chili's afterwards. This is the first year I have learned to be thankful for the 38 yrs. God has given me instead of vainly rebelling against another year of getting old. Since every day is a gift, I should rejoice!

Homewood Christmas party

The Holder's and us are a part of a co-op in the Magnolia/The Woodlands area. This year we all brought change to support a ministry that provides shoes for children.

Brooke's birthday

Celebration

Having returned from OK and Albert recovering, we were blessed with Welch's sparkling grape juice from the Armour's. We are so thankful to the Lord for Doctor Wilson who performed Albert's reversal. We've experienced such peace in turning from our sin and making right what was wrong. At this point, we are not expectant to receive any "blessings" just thankful for God's mercy.
