"New" Toy and Prayers

The other day while I was cooking dinner I decided to let Mary Alice play with the pots and pans. She LOVED it! She ended up almost sitting in the cabinet!

Also please say a prayer for our family. I have the stomach bug :( Patrick is having to be mom and dad so please pray for him and pray that they don't get it! We have a busy weekend ahead and we need to be well for it!

Happy 60th Birthday Granddaddy

Patricks dad is turning 60 this weekend and his mom threw a surprise party for him last Friday night! He was very surprised and it was fun to get together with all the family!
