Prayers

We've been taking turns being sick here at our home. We'd made a trip to Maryland to visit with my (Traci)'s parents and grandfather and came down with it there. Thankfully Mommy stayed well to take care of everybody (since Daddy got sick) until we got home. Slowly everyone is getting it in one form or another. The day I was the most sick my big girls were amazing...they took over. They came up with their own schedule of activities, made meals, took care of and did fun things with the younger children and did some schoolwork...while my son and I laid on the couch sick. Oh, and they brought me lots of tea. What a blessing. Now one big girl is feeling sick so I'm hoping by tomorrow I will be better :) It always makes me so grateful for "health" when we recover from an illness..hopefully it will be soon.

Please keep our Joshua in your prayers...we watch him carefully because he is more at risk for pneumonia (he's our boy with an 18th chromosome disorder)So far he seems to be okay, just congested.

Please also pray for the Malone family who we've heard have some illness (especially their son Eli) and they are due to leave overseas for their adoption of Ethan, the little boy with DS that our kids fundraised for, in one week. We're praying they all recover well before they have to be separated. You can learn how to pray for them here
