What we have been up to...
On Sunday, we went to Erin Michelle's for a cookout. We had a great time. Thank you for the invite!!!
My mom came in to town on Monday. Ryan taught her how to cut hair. These are pictures from the lesson. Now I know what my hubby will look like if he goes bald in the middle! Hot Bozo!!
Mom (Grammy) did a great job of spoiling/loving on Lucy McLean and Snoop. They miss her already!!!
Ryan's mom (Nana) is at Lutheridge for the week. Mom and I decided to go surprise her today. This is of her and Miss Wide Eyes!
And updates on Lucy McLean...

And updates on Lucy McLean...1. She is smiling and laughing at us all the time ... well when she isn't hungry!!!
2. She is still totally in love with her daddy. She is rolling over now (first time on Tuesday). This is of her looking at Ryan after she rolled over! He is such a good coach!
3. Notice anything missing? Yep, little miss is holding her bottle/praying! This doesn't last long, but she tries. We have tried giving her cereal once/day and the spoon IS NOT working AT ALL. She just gets mad that she doesn't get to eat fast enough. So... we put it in a bottle and she goes to town. Miss INDEPENDENT! Any ideas on starting the cereal.. bring them on!

Video of Jessie
At our small group Bible study tonight, I learned about an amazing podcast that told Jessie's story. Please feel free to visit the site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_BpQTm9I1M Jessie is an amazing young woman. The Lord is good and is in control. While we all know that, you can't help but have your heart cry out for this family. I can't imagine being such a light for Him at such a young age. Please continue to pray. Today was a very difficult day for her, as she is experiencing a lot of pain that they can't seem to medically control.
Two praise reports...
Luke is off oxygen. YAY!!! Please continue to pray that he grows strong and can go home with Mom and Dad soon!
Beth Aspray, a friend that you may have seen on our our blog earlier this year, had a great report today. Continue to pray for her and her family. She is a single mother, fighting a courageous battle against cancer.

Prayers Needed
Dear Friends,
Today, I am asking that you stop and pray for two families that are very precious to me and Ryan. Jessie Garren (seen in the picture below, being baptized by our music pastor and her dad) is a 17 year old who we go to church with. She was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer and has been fighting a courageous battle for over a year now. She is having an especially difficult time right now. She is currently in Boston, receiving treatment. Please feel free to visit her caring bridge site at...http://www.caringbridge.org/cb/viewHome.do . I hope that is the right link. If not, you can search the site using her name (no spaces). Please pray specifically for
* The Lord's will to be done in Jessie's situation.
* That she be protected from the side effects of the new medication and chemo that she is receiving.
* That her family (Kit, Marilyn and brother Robert), as well as Jessie, feel God's presence and that they would have a peace about the mighty work he is doing in their lives.
Prayer Request #2-
While living in Alabama, I was blessed with the opportunity to work with Sarah Martin. She is an amazing woman and friend. Last Thursday, she delivered this handsome little man 5 weeks early. Luke is doing better, but has a lot of work to do before he can come home with mom, dad and brother Ford. Please pray specifically that:
* The Lord would comfort Sarah and Joseph as they journey through a very trying time both emotionally and physically.
* That he continues to progree and is able to soon nurse.
* That he becomes healthy enough (VERY SOON) to come home with the rest of the family.
For more info, you can visit their blog...http://jandsmartin.blogspot.com/
Thank you to all of you sweet friends who are willing to pray for these two very dear families. I know that they will appreciate it. Our Lord is an awesome God. It is amazing how he works in each of our lives. Ryan and I definitely felt each of your prayers as we went through our week in the hospital with little miss Lucy Mac! We couldn't have done it without them! As these stories unfold, I will try to keep you updated.
In Him,
Erin

Like Mother... Like Daughter!
"Hey Nana, I am a little milk drunk right now!"
"NO WAY"
"Mama and Daddy, did you hear that?"
"Please, tell me more!"
"OH MY"Last night, Ryan's mom called. Anytime a grandparent calls, we like to let them talk to Lucy McLean on speaker phone. She usually gets pretty excited to hear voices and "talks" a litte. Tonight, we were glad we were ready with the camera. She grabs the phone and seems to be "having a conversation". We cracked up forever!
