Home again, home again!

We arrived home on Saturday afternoon from Dayton Convention. We had a real good time with Donnie and Wendy, Aunt Marilyn, Esther, and Debbie. The convention was very good, saw some old friends and enjoyed the services. On the way home, we stopped at the Waterloo Outlet Stores and I was able to find a pair of shoes at not too high a price. I need comfortable shoes for work since I am on my feet most of my 9 1/2 hour shift five days a week. The last shoes have only lasted about 2-3 months before they cracked on the bottom. When this happens, my feet get wet when it rains and then I am not happy. Hopefully, that won't happen as quick with a better quality shoe. Time will tell.

Comments

I had just barely finished my blog about Easter, when there was a comment left. Rachel asked who was leaving comments that quick. Well, we found out and it wasn't a very nice thing that was there. It was actually quite shocking that someone is that sick to attach stuff to peoples blogs. Anyway, I deleted it and then I put the comment moderation active, so now I will have to check every comment before I allow them to be on my blog. I don't like that because it takes some people forever to put your comments up on their blog. Anyway, I will do my best not to be so late with comments if you comment on my blog. Hope you understand.

Easter Day!

Happy Easter everyone! We had a wonderful day today. We were in church this morning celebrating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead to the living so that we also can have life in HIM! After church we had a nice family dinner and as you can see we had a special little guest there for dinner. We had several other family members here for dinner also. Donald and Wendy Straight, Esther Powell, Larry and Sharon Major and daughter Laura, Jeffrey and Tina McCallus and son Jordan, along with Rachel, Justin and myself. We had a lovely time of eating and visiting. After dinner, Jordan got his Easter clothes back on and we took a few pictures of him and his parents. He is such a funny little guy. We just love him dearly. We are leaving on Monday to go to Dayton, Ohio for the 2009 Inter-church Holiness Convention. We are going with several other family members and friends. If you are there, look for us if you want, we will tell you all about our grandson.

Justin is home, finally!

Justin finally arrived at the Ottawa International Airport at 1:15 am on Friday April 10th. We arrived at home close to 3:30 am and I had to be to work at 9:30 am. He had missed his original flight and had to be rescheduled to a longer, later flight. He had a wonderful time in England and also made a short trip to Paris, France. While he was there, he made a very major and important decision for life. He asked the beautiful young lady that is in this picture with him to be his wife. Of course, she accepted and agreed to be his wife. They are planning a wedding for sometime in 2010. We are so happy for them. Stacy is a wonderful young lady that really loves the Lord and loves Justin too. She will be a wonderful addition to our family and we welcome her with love.

Justin's big trip

This is a picture of Air Canada's 767 getting ready to load for flight 888 to London, England. This picture was taken in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada late on Wednesday, March 25. (Sorry it is so fuzzy, but it was taken on a cell phone) Justin was getting on this flight to go to London to see his girlfriend Stacy who is studying in Plymouth, England, this semester. I took Justin to the airport and then drove back home afterward, getting home about 1 a.m. I would have gotten home sooner, but I was chosen to be someone to have a random search of their vehicle as I was crossing back into the USA at Cornwall, Ontario. They found nothing illegal in the van and I was on my merry way after about 10 minutes. Justin will be in England for 2 weeks visiting Stacy and doing some sightseeing with her. I am sure when he gets back he will have lots of photos to share on his Facebook page.

Jeffrey, Tina, and Jordan are going to be here yet tonight. They are on their way home from our church conference ministerial convention that was held at our Schenectady church this week. We are anxious to see them and hear all about their trip. Blessing to you all!

Jordan update

Jordan came home from the hospital Thursday afternoon. His fever is gone, he is still coughing, and still had noise in his lungs. He went to his doctor on Friday and has to return next Friday again. Hopefully everything will be all better by then.

One sick little man!

Our little man, Jordan, has been very sick the last couple of days. He has been in the hospital since Tuesday afternoon. He had a very high fever and then finally today was diagnosed with pneumonia. He has been on monitors and IVs and getting medicine orally. Tonight he was much better. His temp was getting closer to normal and he was acting much more normal. He still isn't interested in eating a lot but that will come. We are very thankful that God has touched him and that many prayers that went up to God have been answered. Thanks to everyone that prayed.
