I Am Still Here!

I just haven't posted for awhile!

Don't you hate it when you have something all typed out and you think you post it but it disappears! Grrrr!

Okay, we'll try this again! I have been so busy lately that I just haven't had time (or the inclintation!) to get on here and post anything. I know, not a good excuse and I will try to post more often. But not right now! :) Arielle (my 9 year old) fell and broke her leg this past Tuesday. I will tell you more about what happened but I want to (gasp!) actually write a post about that so you'll have to wait.

For now, what you need to know is that she won't be getting a cast until next Tuesday because of concerns about swelling and stuff. So, she is here at home but has to be immobilized or the surgery that she's narrowly avoided so far will catch up with her! It was a pretty serious break (she even had to stay overnight at the hospital) so she's still in a lot of pain. As you can imagine I am running ragged trying to take care of her every need (and I do mean every!) and the other three kiddos.

Until then I leave you with pictures of some of our recent events (I know it's sort of cheating but it's better than nothing right?) And please keep praying for my poor girl!

Arielle standing (something she won't be doing for awhile!) by the river.

Our worn out little camper. She fell asleep in the baby backpack while we were hiking back from the river. We just let her sleep there while we played cards. lol

The campground we went to on this trip was waaaay out there but it was absolutely beautiful. I have a bunch of pics of the river but none of them do it justice.

Joshua, Gracie and Jon relaxing on one of our camping trips. I wasn't sure we'd ever get Jon home after this one. :)

Here is Jessica about to be baptized....

This was Arielle when she got baptized. Here she's coming up out of the water. My husband Jon is on the left and our Pastor Dave is on the right.

Gracie showing off her shapely swimsuit figure...

The Three Amigos...Talon, Joshua and Nathan. (Okay, so I was playing in the paint program and they don't really have facial hair but aren't they cute?!)

I Am Still Here!

I just haven't posted in awhile! (Obviously, huh!)

I want to post, I really do! I had been busy and just putting it off but now I have a good excuse! Arielle (my 9 year old) fell and broke her leg this last Tuesday. I will be telling you more about that but I want to (gasp!) actually write a post and I just don't have time right now. She can' get a cast until next Tuesday because there are concerns about swelling and such so I have to keep her still until then or the surgery she has narrowly escaped so far will catch up to her. Which means I am running a little ragged with caring for her every need (and I do mean every!) plus the other three kiddos.

So, until I can snatch a moment I have posted several pictures of some of our recent events. (I know it's sort of cheating but at least it's something right?) One request, please keep praying for Arielle. The break was serious enough that she was hospitalized overnight and like I said, almost needed surgery. Thanks my friends!
