Hi Friends,
What a blessed day we are having. I have been so encouraged today from Tracy over at "Thirsty For Him" She was talking about "Does it matter, it terms of reality" Keeping things done without grumbling and complaing... I tend to get upset that I am consistently picking up after everyone in our home. Then I was nudged by God, He reminded me that I am here for that. Keeping my home and the kids, dinner, laundry, al of it is for Christ. I do everything for the glory of God. He blessed me with this family for a reason. I have been reminded of that several times over the last few weeks. God has truley blessed us. I desire to be all I can for Him. I am just a vessel, I want to be a vessel of honour for Him.
On other fronts, homeschool is going great, Hannah is ok. I feel like a broken record sometimes, she has been feeling a bit under the weather lately, but no fever, and no other issues at this point. She has not had a good appitite, but is drinking boost, daily which helps keep her strength. I am so glad I can get her to drink it. She has not been up to going outside this week at all. We have basically been at home, inside since Sunday afternoon. Hopefully that will change some. I am trying to talk her into looking for ladybugs this afternoon. We will see.
Mia, Hannahs new puppy is doing well. Mia has already learned that if Hannah gets out of bed to wake me up. She is so cute, and loves to sleep right up next to Hannah, then when Hannah moves, Mia snuggles up closer to Hannah. I can sleep a little more easily.
Mia also has let Hannah dress her up some. She is so precious. I am so Thankful to God for bringing the perfect puppy to us.
Mia has trouble with her back legs, and with asthma, just like Hannah. God is so good!
We hope that You have a blessed week.
Much Love and Prayers,
Lori and girls

Blessed Day
Hi Friends,
We hope that you have had a blessed day today, in GOd's house whereever you serve....
I never cease to be humbled by Gods blessings and provisions. What an Awesome God we serve!!!
We have had a great afternoon, Anna is doing good, Hannah feels great and has been helping daddy fix a fence today. Sarah and Anna and I had small naps, and are ready to go again. We strive to be vessels of Honour for Jesus on a daily basis, it has been nice to do that today, God brought a new family into our lives today, the mom wants to homeschool but has not learned how, or what to do to go about it. I was able to talk with her and help her out some. I am thankful God has opened a door for this to be done. I am glad He picked me to help, what a blessing.
We have a busy week, and pray that everyone has a good week ahead. God be with each of you today, and this week.
Much love and prayer's, Lori and girls

Fun Filled day....
Hi Friends,
We pray you are having a good week. We are, and ready for a restful weekend with Daddy and the girls. Lonnie and I are going to help a neighbor repair a fence, she needs the security it provides.
It got me to thinking, she lives alone, no family here in town, they live in other states. She is older and she doesn't work, outside the home. Her sons are grown and married, her husband long passed. She has no one near to help her. We are all like that, we have families scatered here and there, sometimes we feel alone, with no one to help. God is there waiting to help us, if we just ask. He is there to provide all our needs, He is always with us. He is our security! Safe in the Palm of His hands.
I am secure in knowing that I am going to heaven one day. Are you secure in that knowledge? If not, I would be glad to tell you more and to show you the way.....
On another note, we were able to meet up with Deb, from "One Single Minute." today, what a blessing to spend time with such an encouraging friend. We visited a few local sites, Rosa Parks Museumn and some fountains that are nearby, and enjoyed spending time with the girls. They had fun in the fountains. I was so encouraged by her. The girls and I enjoyed the time out from school and all the busyness? of the week. Anna did pretty well while we were out, and slept and played and seemed to have a good time. Hannah is my navigator when we are out, and Sarah is my question asker. They saw the same things but took them in differently. Hannah remembers the order of events, whereas Sarah remembers that when she saw some of it, she had new questions about why things happened the way they did. I love that they have different learning styles, it makes teaching them so much fun. Hannah liked the fountain and getting wet the best, Sarah liked the history of it all. She then wanted to know when the museumn opened and who helped build it, and why they built it where the did. She spent time on the computer today learning more. Hannah on the other hand had more fun telling Daddy what she did, and that she was not as hot as we were because she was so soaked.
I think the day was a sucess.... Most of all we all had fun.
What are your plans this weekend? I hope that you enjoy time with friends and family, and take time to have lots of fun.
Have a blessed weekend.
Much Love and prayers,
Lori, Hannah and Sarah

Hello again
Hi friends, wow, have we missed all of you. We are back on track now, and had a good quiet summer. The girls are well, and ready for homeschool to start, we did start on Monday. They are both off to a great start.
Let me see, where has the time gone.... summer was good for Hannah and she has only a few small issues that will resolve over the next few weeks.
Hannah attended her first slumber party, and did happen to stay awake most of the night... thank you Anna for the build a bear party, and lots of fun. She did come home covered in bug bites, but they are healing nicely..... (O:
Fevers here and there, but nothing to major, and no hospital visits lately.... Thank you Jesus...
Sarah also has been doing well. growing like a weed. (O:
Not much else is new, just keeping busy and waiting on God's timing.
Upcoming appointments are:
Hannah, Aug. 31, Birmingham, we will be seeing a new pulmonary dr, so that will be interesting.
Hannah Sept. 11th, not sure if we will need to keep this, but pretty sure, we should find out the results of all of Hannah's latest test, and if she has lukemia or not. We are fully trusting God on this..... it is all in his devine hands.
We should also find out if we will continue the IVIG treatments.
We appreciate all your prayers. What a blessing!
Much love and Prayers

Update on Hannah
Hi Friends,
We hope that you are all having a blessed week. Several are graduationg and going off to school...
We had a check up in Birmingham, Hannah has psorisis, and psoristic arthiritis. It is degenerative from what we understand, and we are in the search for a small childs wheelchair. Just for when she can't go on, use it as little as possible. We don't want her to become dependent on it. We are stopping the infusions and the antibiotics for the summer, and will start them back up in September.
A much needed break. We are doing well otherwise, getting ready for school to start back, we will start in July this year. The girls are glad for a small break.
We are keeping busy with feild trips, and lots of fun and relaxation. Hannah is enjoying this time off. We hope that you all have a blessed week.
Much Love and Prayer's,
Lori and girls

Where does the time go?
Hi Friends,
We hope that you are each doing well. It has been crazy here. Hannah has had fever virus for over a week, she was a little dehydrated, but no hospital visit this time, thankfully, also Sarah actually got the fever virus.... Unusual for that to happen. Anyhow, Hannah had an infusion today, it went well, and so far there has been no fever.... which is a big Praise....
We do go th Birmingham on Tuesday next week, hopefully we can find out some answers... as you may remember, Hannah had some extra blood work done and it was sent to Cinncinatti Childrens Hospital, hopefully we will find something out. We have been indoors lately, part due to rain, part due to sicknesses. We are hoping to take the girls fishing this weekend if possible. Other than that we are doing well.
Hannah made me a precious bracelet for mothers day, and Sarah got me a teddy bear treasure chest, Lonnie got me a new canister vacume cleaner for Mothers day. Lots of lovely gifts.
I have a sweet family, and thank God for them daily...
I hope that you all have a blessed week, you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

long week...
Hi Friends,
We hope that you are all doing well. We are ok, warding off viruses as much as possible. Hannah and Sarah are going to the dr. tomorrow, for a check up, both are feeling a bit under the weather, as is Carissa, my neice. So for a while tomorrow we will all four be in a very small room waiting to see the dr. I know it is virus time, Hannah usually keeps some sort of virus most of the time.
It seems much later than Tues. evening. We are getting ready for Mother's day, we are celebrating with friends and family, and a few unsuspecting moms... it will be nice I am sure... the girls have given me my present, one being in my life, such sweet girls I am blessed by God for lending them to me. My sweet pearls.... they also gave me a new study Bible that is purple. I love it!
I hope that you can spend time with your mom, or stand in mom. We try to do something for mom's that have lost their children, or spouse, so that they aren't alone on Mothers day. The LORD has blessed us with mom's, some good, some not so good, but mom's have made us who we are. We honor them this week on a special day....
so to all the mom's out there, we would like to say,
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to you!!!
We hope that you all have a blessed week.
Much Love and Prayer's,
Lori and girls
