What a Month it has been

 

I just looked at our blog and realized it has been a month since I posted. Today we went to Dakota Village and saw the WWII re-inactment that look place there. It was very interesting and as MR is studying this at school now, timely!

 

About our month. Last post I had asked for you to remember our friend Alick as he was not doing well. I knew he was failing, but I was surprised when they called me the morning of April 27th to say when they went to get him up, He had passed. In many ways a blessing. At 94 1/2 he had lived a long and full life! We will miss him...but say MEMORY ETERNAL ALICK. We love you!

 

So we have spent a great deal of time trying to get our home back to a new sense of "normal". Since Alick lived with us for 4 months...that meant painting the boys room and putting furniture back! Thankfully my parents came out and that got done in record time. Our hearts ache, but today went and got Ice cream at his favorite place and then visited the cemetary. Difficult trips, but meaningful. Please remember our family as it is difficult to understand for the kids. Thanks I will try and post more often.

EM turns 8!!

Not sure how it can be that EM is 8...but time marches on! This summer we will mark the day when he has been with us longer than he was in the orphanage! Those 4+ years have gone really quickly! He is an amazing guy and we are blessed to have him as our son!

We have been blessed to have our94 year old friend from church living with us for the past 4 months...maybe that is part of the reason I have not posted??? He is a blessing to us all.

Please pray for him. He is currently in the hospital undergoing tests to help evaluate why he continues to lose weight?

Fun for all
