The Great Christmas Gift Exchange

I haven't blogged in forever. What a bad blogger I am. But, what better way to get back into it, then posting about the kids performing in our church Christmas play. They were two of the cutest bells I have ever seen. Not that I am biased or anything. The name of the play was the title of this post. The Great Christmas Gift Exchange. Evan did not even want to participate at first but when he got up on stage it all changed. He is quite the performer.

I am especially proud of Morgan. During practice all she wanted to do was lay on the stage and look at the pretty lights but when it came time to perform she participated fully and really shined.

Evan Being Silly Before the play

Love his cheesy Expression

He really is a cutie pie.

Look how pretty she is sporting her new hair cut

Go Evan Go!

Words can't express how proud of her I was

He loved being up there. I see Hollywood in his future.

Praying for Baby Stellan

God has really laid on my heart to pray for this precious little boy Stellan. I have been reading his mom's blog for a very long time and have fell in love with this sweet baby who was born with a very serious heart condition. I often participate in his moms NOT ME MONDAY posts but thought it best not to do that today and just ask every one to please pray as his condition is very bad and deteriorating quickly.

We are dealing with our own illness with Morgan right now so this is short but I wanted to get it on here.

an anniversary of sorts

I wish so badly that I had a picture on this computer of this anniversary I am referring to but I do not since its a brand new computer. Hopefully though I can dig one up and get it on here soon but I did not want this day to go by without mentioning that today marks the 7th anniversary of Morgan becoming a NICU graduate and finally getting to join us at home.
I remember how happy and terrified I was at the same time that she was coming home. She had to come home on a heart/apnea monitor and she remained hooked up to that for 7 long months.
Our journey has been so hard and little did we know that what we thought was the end of her struggles by being released from the NICU was really just the beginning. I love you Baby girl!

It's my birthday and I will cry if I want to!

Why would I cry on my birthday? It started out nice getting to watch my friend Stacy's beautiful girls who I love so much but then got depressing when the place we thought we would be moving to turned out to be the biggest crap hole EVER!
I know we need to get out of here. There was a huge fight with the in laws on July 5th.
I have not blogged in so long I will have to back track later.
I really thought this trailer was going to be the answer to our prayers when Brent's coworker sister passed away and his family was selling her place dirt cheap.
Dirt cheap is all we can afford but dirt cheap in Delaware means well you get Dirt.
Oh how I long for my 2,200 square foot house in PA back. Which was dirt cheap but wonderful. I don't regret being here in Delaware. I know we moved here for Morgan's benefit and since finding our church I know this is where God wants us but I am praying and praying for a place of our own. Selling our house was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do and I can't help but ache for it sometimes.
I am trying so hard to keep faith but its so hard in this situation because I wonder where the money is going to come from so we can afford a place here. At this point it will take a miracle. Of course I know my God performs miracles everyday.

Not me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.


I did not let my kids where the same clothes for two days straight including to bed. Nope not me. My kids always have on clean clothes every day and jammies at night.

I did not let Evan have ice cream and a cookie for breakfast on Friday morning. Even though it was 90 degrees. Nope nobody would do that especially not me.

Somebody did not ask if I were Evan's big sister when we were walking on the beach the other night. And I most certainly did not almost say Yes because I was so flattered.

I did not call the bus driver on her cell phone to see why she was late picking Morgan up for summer session at school this morning. I mean really who would be that impatient?

I am NOT sitting here typing this not me Monday post when I am supposed to be cleaning for the inlaws.

Mini golf fun

So we have decided we really love going to play putt putt. Evan is just too funny to watch. He totally does not follow the rules and sometimes even uses his putter backwards. Is there really anything cuter?
Yesterday after church we went for the second time in the past few weeks. This time to Shell we Golf. It was a lot harder then the last place we went and though it was not really handicap accessible for Morgan we had a great time. Luckily I have a strong husband who was able to carry her special needs stroller and all through the course.
