So, I put my son on YouTube. I figure it is the only way for my family to see such a large file – it just won’t email. You can see him here. It’s Jesus Loves Me for those who don’t speak Bubbese. Enjoy!

I am having one of those days. My son has been in rare form all day – crying at the least thing, wanting to be held but NOT TO LONG, he hasn’t eaten much of anything and dove for his bed like it was heaven opening up. His right eye has begun turning in like Lily’s too and that has me nervous.

Little has had a good morning but has been SCREAMING in her bed for the past 45 minutes. It is the kind of scream that makes every nerve in my body physically hurt and the muscles in my neck tighten.

Then I listen to this Dobson thing about autism and it made me cry and cry. During our last visit to the neurologist, Little had autism added to the list of opportunities she faces and then on this recording they, in passing, mentioned the strange sleep patterns of the autistic – – while my little is screaming in her bed downstairs with circles under her eyes from the need to sleep.

To wrap up this emotional spasm, my mom sends me an email from a woman we have been praying for who just got the report that her body is cancer free. In this email she goes on to praise the Lord for His goodness and list verse after verse concerning his faithfullness to answer prayer. I praise Him with her. I rejoice in this GREAT news.

I need a nap.

We were without power tonight for, thankfully, only 2 1/2 hours. It wasn’t raining or anything – it just went out. I had this great plan to update the blog and turn in early – Hubby works late on Thursdays – but that went out the window. Instead I did 3 crossword puzzles by the light of the setting sun and then curled up with a pillow just as Hubby came home.

So now, I am not going to write too much but I will post pictures – I understand that this is what most of you are looking for 🙂

Little got new glasses. She needed a new perscription anyway and it has always been thought that her others were too big for her face – they sat up too high too. So, we got new frames. They aren’t the perfect fix but to get something small enough for her petite face would mean another new pair in six months. So, we compromised. She is still beautiful, of course!

This grump was most upset that I interrupted him reading. He said, “Reading ’bout Jesus!” That is cute enough in itself, but the hat just kills me. Little put it on Bubba’s head and he left it on most of the day – he loved it. Between the ball cap on his head and the monster truck on his shirt, I think we have a country boy in the making! Missouri can’t hold it back 🙂

Upcoming events: Little’s teacher called today and asked if she could come by next week to meet her. Wow. Students arrive at the seminary in another week or so and life will kick up a notch for a few days. Doctor’s appointment tomorrow and take a glucose test and hear baby’s heartbeat. I ate red velvet cake today which should ensure that I get called back for that NASTY three hour test – good grief.

Oh, the reason I didn’t want to do the blog is that I knew you would know what is happening with me and would cease to tell me what is up with you – you know who you are. So, emails are still welcome – pictures of babies, boyfriends, recent travel are all welcome too :0
