Update on Aria

Today I write with complete sadness as I update Aria.  She has been doing well, however her parents met with the DNA specialist to confirm indeed she has a rare DNA disorder.  She is one of 650 cases that has CCHS. If you want to click on the link it explains her breathing problems. Unfortunately this is a life-long battle. I wanted to write quickly this morning about it so that you are encouraged to pray for them. Think of it this way, if you were in their position, wouldnt you feel even a little bit better knowing that people are praying for you? As a parent, this would devestate me.

Another sad but good thing is the Rescue Center in Haiti (link to the side, new kids in the RC) has gotten a few more kids this week. Marlene, age 5 weighs 14 pounds. Can you even believe it?  Rejoice that someone is now taking care of them, but it doesnt mean their bodies will not reject the food they are given. Pray that they can get the nourishment they need. 

Lots to do

Today I have many goals. Get some laundry done, upload photos, cut material for kate's quilt, and possibly stain a few grills in the door. I am almost done with it. I also want to work on a rough draft for Kate's birthday invitation. I realize I cannot get all this done during naptime but I want to do a little of each, as I have so much projects going on at once!  As the pictures were uploading I cut 4 peices of kate's fabric into 12 sections for her quiilt. So i am getting double done at one time. 

In the previous post I talked about Aria. If anyone feels on their heart to donate to her family, you can contact brookchelmo@hotmail.com. (Aria's father)  They are doing some fundraising this weekend, so pray that it would be successful. Also, all this rain and wind is really discouraging. Pray that we wouldnt get much, if any, rain this weekend. We don't need it at all. Yet, I am confident God will provide, even if this isnt what we want.

Also, last night I was with some ladies at church and met for supper in Hallock, and went to the green house to get some planting tips and to shop around a bit. I got a rose bush for the backyard and some vegetables for our brand new garden! Hopefully the rain will clear up so we can plant it soon.

I did a little picture taking this week. Here they are! None are edited, b/c photoshop could not be downloaded on our upstairs computer.Some need to be lightened, and some need to be toned down. One is a card I made recently, and the next is our growing flower bed in our front yard. Everything is getting huge!
