After

The bathroom is finished! This picture is taken from the bathtub. The color doesn't really show up well but I guess that's how it is with pictures. I love the color and think it turned out great. The color is brighter in person and more green, I think. I asked Zorin if he like it and he just shrugged his shoulders, guess that isn't a great sign but at least Steve and I like it. We found a picture that matched perfectly as well. I love, love, love the shells. So our house projects are finished for now. Now if I could just keep it clean all the time we would be doing great :)

Catching Up

We had a good week after the quick trip to Amarillo. The great news is Kirby is recovering well and may be able to go home by tomorrow. I know Mickey is anxious to have him back home where she can take care of him.

On Tuesday night we celebrated my mom's birthday. It was a great night with the family. I also survived my first week of summer school (Steve is already into his second and has already given test, wow how time flies). I am teaching 1st grade and am enjoying it (for the most part). I have 9 boys and 2 girls. The boys keep me busy that's for sure. One of the perks is we have Friday's off, whoever thought of that was brilliant. So I am enjoying my first day off in a while. Of course ,I haven't been as productive as I should but I did get groceries and I am catching up on everyone's blogs :)

A success!

Kirby made it out of surgery okay! The doctors seemed happy with what they saw and said it was better than they had hoped. The next 24 hours will be crucial to his recovery. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. God has truly been working in a MIGHTY way!!

weekend update

Steve and I did a quick 24 hour trip to Amarillo to see Kirby and family. It was great to see Kirby sitting up in bed and joking like always. He has no signs of brain damage of any sort. He will be moved to a new hospital today. His triple by-pass surgery should be tomorrow. Thank you so much for your continued prayers. Kirby is in great spirits and has many friends and family surrounding him. Several prayers have already been answered and we are praying for the surgery tomorrow.
Thank you!

update

Kirby is has been taken off the ventilator which is great. He is not talking much but is talking some which is a good sign. The doctors at the hospital want him to have by-pass surgery on Monday. Steve and I will drive up to Amarillo for the weekend to see him and be with the family. Please pray for the doctors and Kirby as they prepare for surgery. Please continue to have Mickey and the family in your prayers as well.
Thank you!

Urgent Prayer Request

Our brother-in-law, Kirby Davis, is in an Amarillo hospital. Kirby collapsed while at work yesterday. They were able to revive him and get him to the hospital. A CT scan showed no brain bleed, which is good. He is on a ventilator and in a medically induced coma. They want him to rest and plan to wake him up tomorrow afternoon.

In the fall Kirby was told that he had several blocked arteries and that surgery was not a option. He is on medication and an exercise program. Please pray for his wife Mickey (Steve's sister) and the doctors who are working on him. Steve and I will head to Amarillo asap.

An afternoon with Lindsay

I had the pleasure of spending some fun time with Andrea and Lindsay yesterday afternoon. It was so fun to play and hold this precious little girl. I can't believe she is going to be 1 on Friday. Our favorite activity was playing pic-a-boo wherever we could. Oh, I can't wait to play with Emily!

I ended my day by having dinner with Karen and Linda. It was great to catch up with Linda and relax before the last few days. The next 12 hours will be very busy - That's how many hours the kids have left at school. We have Kindergarten graduation tonight and 5th grade celebration tomorrow morning. The time will go by quickly and I have tons to get done. I emailed myself a list of things to get done so I would remember them all. I think it helped me sleep better last night :) Oh, if I could only be that organized all the time!
