urgent pray request

My mother had another stroke yesterday. PLEASE lift her up in prayer today.

Couple needing prayer

This has been a very hard 2 weeks for my son Jeffrey. His wife Jessica said that she doesn't love him anymore and told him to move out! He is heart broken and she is making some very ridiculous accusations that are tearing him up. Please pray for this young couple.

Thanks!

Voted today with my son. How cool is that to vote with Jeffrey the first time he votes, even though we didn't vote the same way:)

soccer

Peter and Danielle are both playing soccer and love it. Today Danielle scored 4 goals and Peter started playing indoor soccer. Indoor soccer is crazy. It's like hockey---very aggressive!

Jeffrey and Jessica

I want to introduce my son Jeffrey and his wife Jessica to all of you who have not yet met them. I know how the story of the father in Luke must have felt when his prodigal son returned, TOTAL JOY!!!! Words can't express how excited I was to see my son and my daughter-in-law.

IEP

We had our annual IEP (Individual Education Plan) meeting for Robbie yesterday. All I can say is God is good!!!! Everyone had only awesome things to say about Robbie. They have all seen how far he has come since 7th grade when he began Jr. High. 7th grade was very rough on him and everyone who had him in class and our family. We ached at how much he was struggling everyday. We knew that God had a plan but just didn't know what or how to help Robbie. We have a team of educators at his school that truely care for Robbie and are amazed at Robbie's mind and gift. They went above and beyond to help Robbie and we are so very grateful. 8th grade got better and he had such wonderful teachers who embraced him and challenged him. Now as a 9th grader Robbie is amazing us all. He enjoys school (he says it is now challenging and not boring) and has had to leave a classroom ZERO times! Writing was his biggest trigger for meltdowns and yesterday his Pre-AP English teacher got emotional telling us how much she adores Robbie and how she is amazed at the growth he has shown. She also shared that his writing is incredible and the stress level is pretty much not there when it comes to writing. He understands that he did his best and that is good enough! WOW!!!!!!! After the meeting one of the team members shared with us of how her son was just diagnosed with Aspergers. She said it was hard to hear but she knew there was hope that he would be ok because she sees how Robbie has grown and what he is doing and how he is overcoming his diagnosis. We have had several mom's appoach us about their children being diagnosed with Aspergers. I know part of Gods plan now. Because of Robbie people see that their IS hope. I love this young man so very much and am so proud of him!

end of summer

I loved having a three day weekend but am so sad that summer is over. I so enjoy hanging with my kiddos. Today we just hung out at the pool! Enjoy every minute with your children, time goes by way too fast! I am now looking forward to fall and all the fun memories we will soon be making with everything that comes with the season.

My good friend Isabelle gave me her

camera just recently and I love it. I took so many pictures today!

Thanks Isabelle!
