PRAYER REQUEST

I have been under a lot of stress this past week; I had to have a biopsy done yesterday. I found a lump in my breast a couple of weeks ago, plus my lymph nodes are enlarged. They are hoping it is just infection. I should have my test result back today or in the morning.

Please say I prayer for me that my test will come back good.

Update from the week

It has been a busy week for us. Stephanie can't seem to get over her cold, she has been sick ever since she started school. Steven got his DTP shot and did really good, thank God. I am hoping he has out grown the problem. I had to go for my first mammogram and let me just say....OUCH..... It had to be a man that came up with this machine......

PRAYER REQUEST

Tonight when you say your prayers, please add my little boy to your prayer list.

Steven is going to get his last DTP shot, due to past history we have to go to the Allergist to get this shot. They have to break the shot down to (4 to 6 shots). This is a whole day, spending at the Allergist.

The worst past history was he stopped breathing on us, thank God for an off duty paramedic at Walmart.

Please pray that Steven does good with this shot........

Teacher & Parent Conference

Steve and I had our first teacher & parent conference. It went really good. The teacher had samples of their work at the first week of school, and work they did this week. You can really tell the difference. The first of every month they do a special me picture, they draw a picture of themselves. The one they did in August Stephanie had purple hair, the picture she draw yesterday; she has brown hair with big teeth. Steven drawing is really good; he is adding a lot of details to his, like shoes, fingernails, and eyelashes. He gets his drawing talent from his daddy. The teacher says, they are the most will behaved kids in the class, but they are so scared on making someone upset. They are no bully.

We have to work on Stephanie small motive skills and get Steven to move along a little faster. The teacher said he is the first one to get started and the last one finish. I guess that is why his pictures looks so good. All in all it went really well.

Now our homework is just beginning, she sent home flash cards we have to work with them every night. Plus we can't forget to read our 5 books every night for the bubble gum reader program.

I think we are back in school, I am so thankful that Steve is helping me with homework.

Stephanie School Party

Since the kids were sick last week, and Monday & Tuesday was teacher workday, we celebrated her birthday today. We took in cupcakes, yahoo drinks, and chips. The teacher made her day extra special. She was line leader, got to pick the prayer of the day, and gave her a book from the class. She also got to take in Coco the monkey she made at Build a Bear on her birthday. Her partner gave her a stuff doggie, she named skip.

Hopefully we will have their party this Sunday, if everyone can stay well.

OLD SALEM

Sunday we spent the day at Old Salem.
