DeeDee24

Today we went to a surprise party for a dear friend. My friend, Brooke, turned 30 today. It was a happy party and lots of fun. Her family had coloring books and crayons for the kids and a "Brooke trivia" game for the adults. It was very well thought out! I hope this year is full of blessings for sweet Brooke!

On a sad note, last night we went to a visitation for someone in our church that passed away Wednesday night. Troy had breast cancer and even though I didn't know him as well as most, I was still touched by his family. They are a wonderful example of God's love. Even though they were going through so much, they always reached out to me and my husband. My heart goes out to them. I pray God will hold them in his arms and they feel His love over their lives. I pray for comfort and peace and God will use people to reach out to them so they know they are loved. I hope I can use Troy's example to live for God and love others.

Blog Issues

The ants are gone for the most part. I found three in the shower.

I am totally loving the new room swap. I like my nook in downstairs. Hubby can overhear all my girl conversations on the phone. It must get old after a while. Vic is writing her name (with help). David will identify his nose when asked. He likes to be chased around the room. I'll say, "I'm going to get him." and he will laugh and run (stammer) like a new walker does. It's fun. The kids love the playroom upstairs. I love it to. I guess it is a sacrifice for the family to give up the living room for a play space. It makes so much sense. I protested the move for years but I wish I had moved it sooner. Why save a room for adults that I only use three or four times a year. Since moving the toys, I have been in there several times a day. I can honestly say that I'm using every room in the house. We really live here and use the space efficently. Oh, I'm starting to sound like Willy
