• Happy Birthday, JanaLyn

  Thank you, so very much, for all of the kind words and especially for your prayers.

  I am overwhelmed with how sweet each of your are, especially when you have never met me.

  Tomorrow is my first dental appointment.,  She will fill some cavities (I only want her to fill one, but Jesse said to do them all . . . I don’t know about Jesse’s suggestion) and then take an impression of my teeth for the caps to be made.  I fear the dentist appointment as much as I fear having the radiation done in my neck and throat area!  How I wish my phobia (my ONLY fear) of dentists would go away!  It’s only become worse as I get older.

         

  ALSO, I was tested for low oxygen levels on Wednesday night.  The results came back saying my oxygen level was so low that I was killing  brain cells (the ones that help you remember stuff).  Sometime today, the company with the machines will be delivering an oxygen machine for me to use while I sleep.  The doctor said my levels were dangerously low.  I’m glad to know I don’t have dementia or  Altzheimers.  If the simple oxygen doesn’t work, they will give me a sleep apnea machine.  I’m looking forward to remembering things!!!  The doctor’s message on the answering machine said my memory loss was due to lack of oxygen and brain cells being killed, or the little girls sucking my brains out of me!!!  He has a great sense of humor!

                                 

  Yesterday was Janalyn’s birthday, as you can tell  from all of the pictures.  She is granddaughter #1 and Jaiden (the one visiting from Colorado) is #2 – about a   year and a few months apart in age.  Our youngest daughter had her first birthday and 10 days later Janalyn was born.  The following year and a few months later, the second granddaughter (Jaiden) was born.  Little stair steps!!!

                       

  Janalyn had gotten in trouble for something (huge) and she wasn’t given a birthday party, this year.  So, I made a homemade b-day cake (no fancy store bought cake).  Stephanie was babysitting a friend’s daughter; and, she was the only child who wasn’t family that came for cake and the two gifts Jesse & I and the 3 girls gave her.

                
               She got a microscope from us and was confused when she opened the box. 

  After we told her what she could do with it, she became excited and didn’t want to wait until she got home to open it.  But, Stephanie held her ground and said she HAD TO wait.  There were lots of little pieces that could be lost.  She was also getting a chemistry set from another grandparent.  As you can see, she loves science.

                            

  Her cake was supposed to look like a hat and it did (look like one) in person, but my pictures don’t show the flatness of the top and sides with the band of ribbon around it.

                

  The adults ate a slice of cake for dinner and the last 3 pieces were eaten for breakfast, this morning.  Now I need to bake the same cake for our family, since it was gone in one afternoon!  No one got a second piece!

          

  Jaiden goes home this weekend.  I think Jesse is planning to leave Saturday night, get a motel room in Amarillo and then drive north to meet Nikki in Dumas, TX.  She’s coming down from Denver.  He said he’d take the girls.  Angie and Rich and their children will be here, but I won’t have to worry about children and should be able to rest Saturday – Sunday.

         

  Please continue to keep me in your prayers.  I have nothing much next week, although my children have vacation Bible school in the evenings.  I’m expecting to hear from the school soon, and they will set up a time to have Annamarie and Rissy tested academically for proper placement in school, this year.  Last week, the girls received the last of their immunization shots – chicken pox boosters -  and Rissy needed a hepatitis shots.

      

  Almost forgot!!!!!!!  Wednesday we went to the pound and came home with two cats.  One is 2 years old and the other is a kitten, about 2 – 3 months old.  I’ll save that story for my next post.

  PRAYER REQUEST:  Please pray for my friend’s son, David.  He is suffering terribly from Lyme disease and is seriously ill.  I know she would appreciate your prayers and you can send her a message and read about David at this link. 
  

            
                                Janalyn with 9 blue candles and one green candle to grow on!    
  

  I hope everyone has a good weekend.

  Be Blessed   ~
