Well, God had some plans for me on this visit back home! Michael had a long weekend so he brought me up to mom & dad's. Then he went back to Missouri to work. We were going to stay for a couple weeks at the most and ended up staying for 5 WEEKS!!!
My brother, Robby, and sister-in-law, Sonya's, baby boy, Teal'c, was born way to early. They needed some helping hands with their older boys, ages 4, 2 & 1.
I got the honor of being asked to sing on the Vineyard Worship Team for one weekend of church! I used to do it all of the time and it was so fun to be able to do it again! It really draws me closer to God when I am able to use and share my gifts with others like He wants me to!
Shortly before Teal'c was born we found out I was pregnant! Almost 3 weeks later, I got really sick and started bleeding. Auntie Gwynne took me to St.Mary's hospital in Duluth, they did an ultrasound, we saw baby's heart beat, 120 beats a minute! They said I was about 6 weeks along and that everything looked totally normal. About 4 hours later I was in such extreme pain that Gwynne brought me back to the hospital, this time we went to Two Harbors. That is where I lost the baby who we call "Baby Love". We buried the baby a few days later under a beautiful tree that looks like it is praising God.
Then I had a terribly infected big toenail and had to have surgery on that, so I couldn't drive myself back to Missouri.
My sister, Jessica, and brother-in-law, Nick are building their new house. They needed lots of help and I did my best by doing meals and delivering it right to them - and their helpers- at times, so they could keep working - winter is coming!
So dad took a vacation day and drove me back to my husband!
WOW
Photo's of my sister Jessica's house being built. Her and her husband Nick are building right next door to mom & dads house!
Last, but not least, all the other pix from our visit! Ok well it was more like we moved in - I don't think you are considered to be guests after 7 days!
