THANKS FOR CHECKING ON ME

You have made me feel so loved.  I have received so many emails wondering if I have quit blogging...NO!!!  Just a break!!!!




I just needed to be quiet. Over and over I have tried to string some words together and N.O.T.H.I.N.G., so I knew it was not quite time to come back...

and a very wise Nezzy cautioned me not to come back before I was ready. I am so glad that she did. 


SO in the next week OR so I will be back with at least the short version of my absence. I am fine.
It is so nice to be missed. 


I have all my prizes sent out...I did not post about them, just sent them...


I happen to have 2 new copies of Kelle Hamptons new book BLOOM!  It is amazing.  They are in mailers ready to mail!

I just need two winners....All you have to do is leave a comment saying you have wanted the book and tell one other blogger about the giveaway. 

Jack and Parker will be here the next 5 days and each of the boys can draw on Sunday which is Father's Day.  Those two boys are blessed with a great
Dad, a GREAT POP, a great, great grandfather, and an unbelievable UNC.   

Amanda and her family just came home yesterday from a short cruise with Micah's grandparents.  They got some amazing pictures....

Love this Picture

They spent a day in New Orleans before they boarded

THE MEN

Many of you have asked about Crew,  He is sick again with a virus , an ear infection and something else.  But with him anything is serious.  So they need your prayers. 

Here is a recent picture where they met all the cousins at the beach. 

UPDATE ON CREW

I promise I am going to write again....just not sure what I am going to share and just need to be sure I do not overshare,if that is a word. 

Tonight and tomorrow night I have sweet Jack so life is good. 
 
I have not forgotten the prizes.
They are sitting on my table...I have just never been through a six week period where I was so miserably sad. Jack and Parker are moving four hours away.  Never expected it, never dreamed it.   

But I made contact with Marie tonight. 

She too has had a rough month...but here is Crew's latest report from Arkansas Childrens along with some pictures.....


His kidneys are a little bit worse and he will need therapy for his pelvis. Neurosurgery is still deciding when to start spina bifida clinic, everyone wants him to have a little break.

He is still on all Meds and back on his monitor, the neonatologist didn't feel comfortable taking him off after receiving his results.

This one takes my breath away

I met his beautiful grandmother 22 years ago and she has not aged one tiny bit...Gorgeous....

                                     

                              That my friends is a little    
                       MIRACLE!

I AM RETURNING

I have not forgotten my blog but the last 34 days have been maybe the most stressful of my life. Sounds Dramatic....

It has been. I will tell you the story in a post very soon. I promise soon.  No one is sick..

My life just got turned upside down. And I failed the test....Big Time!!!!

I don't think I had a breakdown, but then I have never really known what that was.  I think I came close...I am much better now.  I will write an entire post about it in a few days. 


I have not forgotten about the giveaways... Parker will be by here tomorrow to draw..

Some of you know the story from Facebook and thank you for your words of encouragement. 

Just wanted you to know I had not left....will leave you with a few cute pictures..
