How is it possible.......

to feel so thankful and happy and praising God that my husband has work for the next two weeks and also heartbroken, yet not giving up hope for a little boy that was healed at birth and now faces serious illness once again. I have followed this blog and have rejoiced with the miracle of God completely healing his heart and now 5 months later, his heart is sick again.

I am praying for this little baby, that God would completely healed him once again.

Bye Bye Facebook...for right now

Hi, my name is Shannon and I am addicted to Facebook....

There I said it, I am definitely going to have to take a break from Facebook. I don't know how long I'll be away from it, but I definitely need to put it on the back burner for awhile.

Ryland is doing well, seems to be healthy and happy. He is so much fun and loves to sit on the floor and play with his cars and trains. He entertains himself for longer periods of time and it's so nice. We have one more week of Storytime at the library and today was the last day of bible study. I don't know what we'll do with those two days open. I'll have to plan something, b/c he loves going to the library. I'm sure I'll come up with something, even if it's just going to the park.

He's back.....

My sweet little boy is back! Ryland has been acting so much more like himself this last week. I took him to the dr today and ears are clear! Praise the Lord! After 6 weeks of double ear infections and 3 rounds of antibiotics, they are clear and I am so happy. He is sleeping through the night and is so silly during the day.

Tomorrow, James, Ryland and I are going to meet Denny and Vickie's new son, Emerson Keegan, whom they are calling Keegan. I can't wait to hold that little baby! I am so happy for Denny and Vickie and they seem to be adjusting very well!

James has been having Fridays off, which I love!!! It's nice to have him home 3 days a week! We've also been doing an exercise program every night for the last week. It is kicking our behinds!!!!

Remembering Emma and Welcoming Emerson

Today would have been Emma's 1st birthday. Emma is the daughter of some good friends of mine. She lived 8 weeks before God called her home but the lives that were touched through her short life could never be counted.

Today, my friends Denny and Vickie are going to meet their son. Because of God's great timing, they are becoming a mom and dad for the second time on March 13th!!!! God is so good! Words cannot express how happy I am for them.

Our God is an awesome God!!!!!

Thank you Lord, for bringing joy in the mourning!!!!!

It's been awhile since I've blogged. Sometimes it just seems there's nothing new to blog about and other times I just don't want to sit long enough to type something out.

Anyway, Ryland is on his 3rd antibiotic for his double ear infections. He hasn't been sleeping well and that means we haven't been either. No sleep for me is not a good thing. I'll take him back to the dr next week and hopefully his ears will be good.
