Tired, Helping, Growing, News and a THANK YOU!

Well, here I am sitting in a mostly quiet house. Four children are quiet, not sleeping yet, but quiet. Well, Andrew is asleep, or should I say "crashed out." He has had so much fun having Lizzy and Katie around, but the little boy is just not used to so much activity. We lead a pretty quiet life around here....but not recently!!! He is sooooooo tired! Lizzy is doing great being so much help with the younger kids and trying not to get in trouble for bossing them around. She's so grown up for an 8 year old! Katie is doing well...she's a big girl now and proud of it. She has almost mastered the big girl potty! She has totally mastered tattle tailing!!! What fun.

Lisa is doing well, all things considered. She is eating a little bit and getting some rest with the help of some good old fashion pain killers. Jon, too, is doing well. He's not so good at sitting around, but ever the faithful husband, is at her side. Jon and the girls are itching for some time together, which we will hopefully work out tomorrow. Please continue to pray for Lisa as she heals. Please pray for pain control, the lining around the brain to heal, and a continued lack of drainage and infection!

God is so good! We thank you all so much for your prayers.....Also, a great big thank you to whoever was so gracious to us last night. Someone purchased dinner from Pizza Hut for our family. We don't know who you are, but please know that you were a huge blessing to us all.
