OOPS and HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today, my [one of my] babies turns 18yrs old. My oldest son Bentley is now 18.

He came into the world in a most memorable way by being born with 100% bilateral paralyzed vocal chords. God healed him when he was 7 weeks old.

Now he's turning 18 in a most memorable way as well. He is in Hawaii with his high school's band. Everything inbetween is just as memorable.

He has been there since last Tuesday, and will will come home tomorrow evening. I've missed him this past week, but especially today.

So this morning my two toddlers wanted to call their oldest sibling and wish him a happy birthday. It was a little after 11am our time, so it would've been a little after 7am his time - and I knew they'd be up. We rang his room, and woke him up! The kids shouted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I asked him why he was still sleeping. (They usually met as a group by 7:30am for breakfast.) He said, "Mom.....it's only 5am here."

OOPS!!!!

(guess I didn't realize Hawaii was 6hrs behind us. I thought it was 4hrs.)

You were #1 trumpet in band this year, and you are #1 in my book too.

Happy Birthday my son!!

Computer - less

I am on a borrowed computer. Mine has decided that it wanted to take a vacation......without me. I'm not sure how long my computer will be gone. It didn't say goodbye, much less leave me with any advance notice that it was going to be gone so that I could prepare for its absence.

I already miss my friend, and all the friends that it holds. Hopefully my computer will miss me and come back soon. Until then.....here is a little something.

Double Dog dare

I follow MckMama's blog. Me and many others. I have been praying for Stellan. I have been crying out to God on his behalf. I have been thanking God this morning for the improvement that has been taking place.

In the midst of everything that she is going through, she still threw down the gauntlet.

She has double dog dared her readers. I couldn't pass it up. Normally, typically shy, introverted me........rose to the challenge.





And I did it!!!!!!





I hit the coveted mark!!! Here is proof:







Sweetness in its smallest form, is still sweet.
