soccer game and IKE

Addie had her first soccer game yesterday morning. She did well for her first time. Pop (my FIL) and Paw-paw (my dad) were both there for her game.

Last night we survived Ike. We had some more limbs fall. A couple hit the house but did not puncture the roof thank goodness. We slept in the living room because we were afraid of the tree limb coming through the roof. Needless to say we didn't get much sleep. Thank goodness we did NOT lose power this time.

This week was a busy week. We had a death in the family. My great uncle passed away early Tuesday morning. He had a heart attack. He lived in Dallas TX but he wanted to be bury here. We had lots of family from out of town. It was nice seeing my dad's first cousins but not under these circumstances.

Also, my friend's daughter had two biopsy done this week. She does have cancer and will start treatment the end of this week. Please continue to keep little Peighton in your prayers.

Lastly, don't leave your camera lying around Addie. You may end of with this. Like father, like daughter. Addie's daddy is bad about taking pictures like this too!

some recent photos

Here are some cards I made for a birthday gift for the attorney I work for.

I didn't take any pictures for a whole month..from Aug 4th to Sept 2nd I didn't take one picture.

Tree limbs from our trees in the street from the storm last week.

Addie took this picture of Bill and me.

First soccer practice today!

Prayer request

One of my friends found out this week that her daughter has a brain tumor that is cancerous. Please say lots of prayers for Peighton and her parents and family. She is 4 years old and only a couple of weeks younger than my Addie. Peighton is having a biopsy this week to find out what kind of cancer it is. But she has three spots on her brain and one on her spine. I'll keep you updated..thanks for all the prayers!

Bad bad blogger

I have been a bad blogger these last few weeks. I am still adjusting to the work schedule. Then two weeks ago I had a staph infection develop in my left arm pit. It was underneath the skin. I had to go to the doctor and he had to cut it out. Then I had to deal with that all week and last weekend. I had a couple of more trips to the doctor to have it checked. It was not a fun experience at all.

This week we had Gustav take a visit to our state as a Tropical storm. He did his damage and we were without power Tuesday evening and all day Wednesday 5:00 am to 9:30 pm. At work we were with out power all day Wednesday and part of Thursday. The bad thing about my job is they won't send us home on things like that. So we all sat in the dark! So much fun...NOT!

Addie started Awana's at church Wednesday. On Monday she starts soccer practice. And she will have her first soccer game next Saturday. She is excited.
