Twice a Year







My annual treat is having Toni Elmer take Molly's photos on her B-day. Timmy's B-day is next Sunday so guess what we are doing next Saturday! Treated twice a year now! Sweet M laid down with me last night and said hold me momma and sing. I think I sang Once Upon a Dream about 10 times. These days go way too fast for me!

Small but Mighty

Timmy had a fever yesterday. Bob took him to Acute Care in Plano. His oxygen saturation was low so they rushed him in an ambulance to Children's Plano. It was protocol for anyone with his stats. Timmy's oxygen saturation is lower than most children his age and size. This is due to his heart condition. So, after it was all said and done we left the hospital with the diagnosis of an ear infection. Poor little guy was traumatized for that! He was put on oxygen, had both ears irrigated and got a catheter for a urine test. :( Sad stuff. The nurses couldn't believe how strong he was for his size. GO BUDDY! It took 4 of us to hold him down for the procedures. Agghhhh! Tomorrow we will get a note from the cardiologist stating what his normal is so that this will be avoided in the future.

On an up note....while we were there he was crying Uma (which is Mom in Korean). I felt so sad for him because he wanted his foster mom. Bob said, Amy he is talking about YOU. I didn't buy it at first. Then on the way home he said Uma to me about 100 times. Every time he said it I would answer yes and he would laugh. We stopped at 7-11 too and bought him some oreos, his favorite. He kept saying yummmmm! When we turned in the drive way at home he starting laughing and clapping. He was so happy to be home. Little by little he is learning to trust us and make sense of his world. I LOVE HIM!!!!

Uncle David


Uncle Pat just sent me this pic of me and Uncle David. I have a lot of family members, LOL! Uncle D was the closest to my Dad. I struggle at this time of year because my Dad takes up about 99% of my brain. To post or not post about him, to talk or not talk about him, to tell others I'm thinking of him, to think about how 5 years later I shouldn't be thinking of him so much. Well, this year I'm just gonna embrace it and go from there. How did I get off on this tangent??? Well, David looks a ton like my Dad (body language and all) so it's comforting to see this pictures since I don't have any recent pics of Timmy Boy (yes, we called him that when joking around). Love you Uncle David and Dad! Miss you Dad........uggggh! I miss seeing you so much and wish you were here to meet your grandaughter and grandson (namesake) Timmy!

Carousel







Tim Tim rode the carousel too but he didn't love it! Molly asked me to stand on the side and wave to her as she went around. Reallly, it was fun because each time she saw me it was like she hadn't seen me all day :)

THANK YOU!!!!




Our friend Kari (though a blog) sent the kiddos a care package this weekend. It came at just the right time. Molly has hand, foot, mouth virus and she was down. That is one gross infection! When the Cinderella doll came out of the box she said, OH MY and gave the package a kiss. Timmy loves his toys and treats too! Thank you Ryan and Kari!

HE IS RISEN!

S.M. Lockridge Sermon

S.M. Lockridge was an African American, evangelical preacher. From what I have read he preached this sermon without any notes. There is a video of the sermon but I can't upload it. Awesome when you can hear the real thing! I wish I could make it the buzzer on my alarm clock. HE is RISEN INDEED!



The Bible says my KING is the king of the Jews


He is the KING of Israel


He's the KING of righteousness


He's the KING of the ages


He's the KING of heaven


He's the KING of glory


He's the KING of kings and he's the Lord of Lords


THAT'S MY KING!


I wonder do you know him?


My KING is a sovereign king


No means of measure can define his limitless love


He's enduringly strong


He's eternally steadfast


He's immortally graceful


He's imperially powerful


He's impartially merciful


Do you know him?


He's the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world


He's God's son


He's a sinner's savior


He's the centerpiece of civilization


He's unparalleled


He's unprecedented


He is the loftiest idea in literature


He's the highest personality in philosophy


He's the fundamental doctrine of true theology


He's the only one qualified to be an all sufficient savior


I wonder, do you know him?


He supplies strength for the week


He's available for the tempted and the tried


He sympathizes and sustains


He guards and he guides


He heals the sick


He cleansed the lepers


He forgive sinners


His discharges debtors


He delivers the captive


He defends the feeble


He blesses the young


He serves the unfortunate


He regards the aged


He rewards the diligent and he beautifies the meager


I wonder if you know him?


He's the key to knowledge


He's the wellspring of wisdom


He's the doorway of deliverance


He's the pathway of peace


He's the roadway of righteousness


He's the highway of holiness


He's the gateway of glory


Do you know him?


His life is matchless


His goodness is limitless


His mercy is everlasting


His love never changes


His word is enough


His grace is sufficient


His reign is righteous


And his yoke is easy and his burden is light


I wish I could describe him to you


He's indescribable


He's incomprehensible


He's invincible


He's irresistible


You can't get him out of your mind


You can't get him off of your hand


You can't out live him and you can't live without him


The Pharisees couldn't stand him but they found out the couldn't stop him


Pilot couldn't find any fault in him


Herod couldn't kill him


Death couldn't handle him and the grave couldn't hold him!


That's my KING!

Gotcha in Seoul!

Here are the pics from the day we "got" Timmy in Seoul. We went to pick him up at the SWS offices and these pics are from our room at the SWS guest house. He was happy the whole day until he had to go to bed. He cried for five hours straight that night. So much grief for a little guy. Ugggggh! He ended up watching Yo Gabba Gabba on the ipad for a few hours and then passing out.

Gotcha!

Airport photos from April 7th. These were taken on my cousin's iphone so they aren't top quality but I'm sure glad someone remembered to take some!
