hey hey hey

Hey there!!  I hope everyone is well.  I have not been a good blogger, but I will try to be better.  I have lots of random pictures to share, so that should help keep your disappointment to a minimum, right? :) 

Quick update on stuff.....Randy and I are in the final (hopefully) stage of divorce. It has not been pretty.  We have both been unkind at times.  I hope that we will soon move to a healthier place for everyone's sake.  I pray for Randy and now his girlfriend (fiance?) .  I am not happy with the way things have gone.  But the time has come to pray for anyone that has influence in the lives of these 5 precious children!  This includes ME!!  The support I have experienced has been incredible!  I am seriously amazed and humbled at the love that has been shown to myself and the kids.  But some things are just between you and the Lord!!  And I am ready to allow him to work in me.  The kids are well.  We have settled in to our new place.  I still don't love it, but I'm grateful for it.  We have super great, awesome neighbors that make up for what the house lacks. 

The kids and I spend a lot of time at the lake near our home.  When we are NOT going to the lake, I have to drive the long way around so Markus won't see it. :)

Nolan used the bike parking!

I LOVE this picture!!!

Quick trip to the lake.  Disappointed that we didn't find any TURTLES!

I busted Markus in the dark, playing the "tuba". 

Kennedy felt sick on 4-4-12.  She was hospitalized 4-10 thru 4-13.  Today was her first day to school in NINE days!!  We still don't know what was wrong, everyone assumes it was a virus.  This was her last day in the hospital, she and Mac were watching tv.

Mural at the hospital.  We killed a lot of time looking for animals.

Mac was super hungry this morning, he had to eat with both hands. 

Kennedy getting EEG.  Therapy dog, Dallas, came to visit.

I simply LOVE this picture.  And I MADLY love this guy!
