Two wonderful ladies whom I’ve met through blogging and one friend (in-real-life) all had their babies this weekend.

• Mat.Emma’s baby boy was born at just under 32 weeks after several weeks of bedrest and medications to keep him gestating as long as possible.  Please keep him in your prayers as he will be sure to spend some time in the NICU, and pray for Mat. Emma, Fr John and their two other kiddos.
• Patty also had a baby boy this weekend.  She was just past her due date, and the baby was 9 pounds 13 ounces!  Way to go, Mama!
• Carie had her baby girl this weekend at 35 weeks along.  Baby Elise is in the NICU, but shouldn’t be there for too long (hopefully).  Please pray for this family as well.

the boy played with guns

while the girls talked

they rode tricycles and bicycles

pulled a wagon and walked

they posed on a swing

for a picture or two

good times were had by all

especially me and you!

Mel, it was so nice to see you again.
We are incredibly saddened by your loss and pray for you daily.
I hope our next visits won’t be so far apart.

I spent the greater part of today working with my new template.  I am not set on the photograph in the header yet, so that will probably be changed in the near future.

Now I have a question for those of you who use Wordpress:

Are you able to set up pages
that show results of a specific category?

I’ve tried adding multiple plug-ins, but none of them work for me.  Please help if you can!

So…what do you think?

In a short period of time, our family has been constantly sick, my mom is dealing with her cancer and constant testing, my friend, who had been trying to conceive for nearly two years, miscarried her baby, my Nonna struggles in a nursing home, my other friends found out that their future plans are being delayed indefinitely, another friend delivered a stillborn full-term baby girl, my husband’s Aunt Joy passed away after a short battle with brain cancer, several people that we love have been trying for years and cannot conceive, my in-laws are going through a hard time at their church, a friend’s step-mother was diagnosed with cancer, and the wedding of our friends that was supposed to be this weekend had to be cancelled due to immigration issues and the groom is now detained, separated from his fiance AND his young daughter, on the weekend that was to be his wedding.

On top of this, now that our family has been exposed to a “highly contagious” virus, we have to cancel our trip back home.  My mom’s side of the family, all four of her brothers and their families, were getting together.  One of my aunts has brain cancer and I have an uncle who is very ill.  I so wanted to be there because this may be the last time that everyone is together as a family, and now we can’t go.  We can’t expose these two family members, who are in compromised physical states, to this stupid virus.

I am angry.  I am sad.  I am disappointed.  I am confused.  I am frustrated.

I just wish things weren’t like this.

But that can change with your help!

I found out how to install the Google Friend Connect widget this afternoon.

The widget is on my sidebar just under the “Email Michelle!’ link.

Thanks!!

After the railways were built throughout Russia, churches took residence in them.
