SLEEP ?????????????

How soon we forget. (yeah I know it has actually only been 25 yrs). I was telling my mom today, I do not remember being this tired when my girls were babies and not sleeping all night, she quickly reminded me that I was a little younger back then, and that makes all the difference in the world.

Last night was our second time to keep our precious little Macie (all night I might add). 2 weeks ago we were blessed with her on a Saturday night (she was just 2 weeks old), she awoke every hour to two hours all through the night............yippie, but worth every minute.

Last night she "slept" over again with her Nana and Papa, we had a better night, she only woke up every three hours and went quietly back to sleep after her feeding. I thoroughly enjoyed keeping her and hope that this will be a special treat for many years to come.

I am amazed at the difference in my "little" Sarah......how fast she has grown into such a wonderful mom. She cherishes every special moment with her little angel and does not hesitate to share those special feelings with me. Sarah if by chance you read this blog.........please continue to share with me all your special feelings of being a mom.

Now we just hope and pray that God will soon bless Keeley with the pleasure of becoming a mommy, I know she will be exceptional............

Answered Prayer

God has answered a special prayer request that we had. Dale is going to be able to work during his radiation treatments. He just has to make sure he does not do any heavy lifting; his employer has offered to hire some temporary help for the lifting and materials handling part of his job, all he will be doing is pushing buttons.

God is so awesome.

Also here are a few new pictures of our little Macie

AGAIN

FIRST OF ALL LET ME ADD THIS BEFORE I BEGIN

Ecclesiastes 3.1

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

We have been very busy the past two weeks going for scans, test and doctor appointments. The results show that Dale's cancer has returned, it is now in his spine (L1), so again he will be having radiation and chemotherapy. Dale and I are trying to be optimistic and leave this in God's hands. We definitely needs prayers from everyone. We need for God to touch this cancer and destroy it for good. I could go on and on about the doctor's prognosis, but that would only take away from the fact that I know GOD is in control.

Please Please Please keep us in the daily prayers.

WHAT CAN I SAY

I know, I know........I am getting less and less frequent with my blogs. But there just does not seem to be much to speak about, yeah I know I have a new beautiful grand daughter, but with all that has transpired the past 2 weeks I am just slightly overwhelmed. There have been some really high emotions floating around our households and to that I say Lord please help us cope with all our different personalities, calm our fears and bring comfort and peace to each of us.

My wish and prayer for 2008 is for HEALTH, we begin this New Year with a heavy heart, anticipating the outcome of Dale's biopsy he will have this next Tuesday.

Little Macie is scheduled for a EKG on Tuesday to determine if she has a murmur or not.

We do start of the New Year with the return of my sister Janet, she has been working very long weekend hours for the past 7 months or so; she will begin a new job in about two weeks that will bring her back to the family weekend gatherings. YIPPIE........I have surely missed her.

Hopefully before many more days all will have settled down and we can begin a somewhat "normal" life again.

Just for the fun of it I am adding a few of my recent photos............oh of course they are of Macie.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!
