Doing good

Hi Friends,
We hope that you are all doing well. We are having a good week, learning a lot, and enjoying spending time with family.
Hannah has an adversion to meat right now, to begin with she would eat only chicken, now she won't eat meat at all, hopefully that will change in the next few days to a week. I am trying to sneak meat in here and there. She is so smart, she wants to watch me cook everything. I am praying that it is just a faze....
We are getting ready to spend the weekend in the country. I am so thankful, that God blessed us with a friend that has a farm, and that she loves company. We hwlp with food and such when we go, so hopefully it isn't a burden to have us there. We ejoy helping with the chicken's and turkey's and duck's. We are having a bonfire, roasting marchmellows and making samores again, and we are going to maybe have a hay ride, not sure how Hannah will be with her asthma, but we will try.
Today we were out running errands and found a few old trains, they were really neat, and we enjoyed looking at them, one was an old dinner train, and then a coach train, and then two old trains that were just the casing and sides. The girls and I had a buch of fun just seeing them. We did take pictures.
Hope that you all have a blessed weekend.
Much Love and prayers,
Lori and girls

Hannah update

Hi Friends,
We hope that you are all doing well. We are good.
Hannah has lost about 3 lbs in two weeks. Therefore we are going to the dr. again tomorrow. Also baby Anna is getting a cold, so she will go too. We are having a good weekend, and spent quiet time at home with the girls, just hanging out watching movies, and reading. Keeping warm is the biggest thing with Hannah, she loves to cuddle up and snuggle together. Sarah just likes to have a blanket around her and lay on the couch. Usually drawing or reading a book, is what she wants to do....
We hope that you all have a blessed week.
Much Love and Prayers,
Lori and girls

weight loss....

Hi Friends,
We hope that you are all having a blessed week so far. We are well.
We do have a few new prayer request. First, our friend Maria, lives in Minasota, she is having surgery tomorrow morning, to remove her foot and part of her leg. She has diabeties. Also they will be putting in a treach tube. Her daughter lives here in Montgomery, and can not travel to be with her. Please be praying for both of them.
Second, Hannah has started to loose weight, not sure why, just that her eating is ok, and she is still drinking the ensure each day. All her pants and skirts have been altered, and I am going to have to realter them, because they are to big still.
Please be praying that this is just a redistrubution of weight, and that she will be back to "normal" soon. She weights 62 lbs currently, and really can't afford to loose much more than a few pounds.
We are keeping busy with school and awana, and children's choir at church. Sarah received two of her jewels last night. I am so proud of her. Also Hannah has earned one jewel, and soon will have number two. They are doing good.
We are going to the country tomorrow, and Hannah and Sarah are both excited about seeing the baby chickens, and the new baby ducks. It will be fun. We will try to take pictures to share.
Hope that you all have a blessed week.
Much Love and Prayers,
Lori and girls

Time with friends and family, and as others come for the services, that we can be a witness to others and be there for strength for the family throught this time.

new bitties


Hi Friends,
Hope that you are all doing well.
Here is a picture of the new bitties. The girls were excited to see them at the farm. Mrs. Jennifer and Mr. Chris are taking good care of them, and they are growing already. I think Mr. Chris likes the early Christmas gifts, all 12 of them. Mr. Chris has even gotten a few more to increase the number to 3 dozen....
Hannah is feeling better this week, and is looking forward to going to the farm and maybe having a bonfire soon. Marshmellows and hot dogs and hot cocoa. yummy...
Hope that you all have a blessed week.
Much love and Prayers,
Lori and girls

where does the time go?

Hi Friends,
Wow, this week went by so fast. I don't know where the time has gone.
We had a great week, and a great weekend. We were able to visit friends in the country, and learened so much. Hannah and Sarah are the new proud owners of 12 baby chiks. There are 5 Rhode Island Reds, and 3 Americana, and 3 that I can't remember their name. We can't keep live chickens in town, so our friends Jennifer and Chris have them at there place in a small pen. It was actually a present for Mr. Chris for Christmas from the girls and I he just was able to get them early. He was so happy to have new bitties. We enjoyed spending time with friends, and working on the farm. Hannah and Sarah were able to enjoy country life for a few days, and we hope to go again soon. We fed the animals, went hiking, had a huge bonfire, and enjoyed siting on the porch with friends, listening to the country sounds. Which, by the way, are not easy to hear in the city. (O:
Hannah had a full day both days, and slept better than she has in a while.
We loved going, and always feel so full when we get back to town.
We will post pictures soon of both trips.
We hope that you are all enjoying your autumn like we are. The smells, the crisp air, the activities, and the fun with friends and family.
We hope that you all have a blessed week.
Much Love and prayers,
Lori and girls

So Loved

Hi Friends,
We hope that you are all having a blessed week. We are doing well.
Hannah is a little under the weather, but I think she is just tired. We were up late last night watching a movie, "Faith like Potatoes". It was really good. It is based on a true story, and was such an encouragement to Sarah and I. It is really good, and tells about a farmer in South Africa who gives his family, farm, and life to jesus. The trials they go through and how his faith grows stronger. He becomes an evangilist, and wins many to Jesus. There was some language issues, and there was some violence, and an accident towards the end that was a bit graphic, other than that it was good. It is a good movie for family discusion, and most deffinately to be viewed together. THere issaddness, and lose of life. We did enjoy it, and it is one we will be purchasing for our own collection. Great witnessing tool for the unsaved, or a new believer.
We are running errands today, and a friend and her daughter are joining us, the girls are going to have so much fun. We are excited about getting together, and look forward to the christian fellowship.
We hope that you havea blessed week.
Much Loveand prayers,
lori and girls

Hi

Hi Friends,
We hope that you are having a blessed week so far, even though it has just started. We had a great Lord's day today, we did. We had a special singing at church, it was good, we enjoyed it so much. Hannah had a good time. She loves music. A friend gave Hannah a record, "The sound of music" she loves it, and has listened to it a lot.
We had so much fun on our trip, and learned a lot. Histroy is so much fun. We will post pictures soon.
Hannah is feeling great today, and she and Sarah even played in the rain some tonight. She and Sarah are rearanging their room tonight, they want to do something different with it. We will see how that goes.... I think I am scared of that... hehe
We hope that you all have a blessed week!
Much Love and Prayers,
Lori, Hannah, and Sarah
