Remembering...

This week has brought such a whirlwind of emotions. I was able to spend precious moments Wednesday afternoon with my Aunt Wanda and Uncle Dub all to myself while we waited in the emergency room. We spent hours that afternoon talking about when they both were saved and baptized, about Carter & Lilah's baptism this weekend, the peace that brings, and about so many memories from my childhood. My sister & I spent many hours as kids at their house and they have just petted us absolutely rotten our entire lives. Since our mom got sick 24 years ago, they spent a lot of time standing in the gap for her. They rocked my babies, fussed over them, and petted them even more rotten (if that's possible) than they do Crystal & I. I can't even count how many baby blankets & booties Aunt Wanda spent hours and hours making for them, or how many hours they rocked and loved on them. I never imagined when I left the hospital on Wednesday night things would take the turn they did. The kids & I spent the entire day at the hospital on Thursday after being called in for fear of the worst. The kids were able to talk to their beloved Uncle Dub for most of that day. He perked right up when they came in. They told him they loved him and he did the same....many sweet sweet moments were shared that day, including a lengthy visit with his only surviving sister, Jean. Yesterday was heartbreaking as we knew for sure the end was near, and today, in the early morning hours I got the call to come quickly. I didn't make it back in time, but my heart is at peace. I know for sure he knew I loved him and I have a lifetime of memories that will always remind me of the love he had for me....and my babies. 

Please remember Aunt Wanda, Jeanette, Scott, & Shannon in prayer in the coming days. I'm exhausted physically & emotionally, I know they all are, especially Aunt Wanda!! Remember his only living sibling Jean Frost as well. Please also remember my broken hearted babies. They have just cried and cried today. Say a special prayer for my sweet tender hearted Carter. He has a big job to do for the funeral. As an honorary pall bearer, he will walk in front of the casket.

We will survive!

We survived the first full week of school! 

Does that call for a celebration?! 

We thought so!

First Chapel of the year!

This school year's first Chapel service! Such a great way to start the day....worshipping with a gym full of kids, teachers, & a few parents!
