Yesterday morning I was with the babies in their room and spotted this little gal outside the door. Before I managed to run and grab my camera she had stood just about 20 feet from me. It was so cool!! She just stared and I just stared back. She was so sweet. Eventually I ran…

July 14, 2009 Linny Saunders52 Comments

A couple of months ago on Mother’s Day something happened that I immediately thought of you all…that you would thoroughly get a kick out of what it was. And since everything seems like it has been so serious over here I thought today, being True Story Tuesday, it would be an awesome day to share…

You guys would be so proud of Dw!! He is continuing to eat and drink and is awake and alert most of the time! He was even making a few jokes today – such a sign of his improvement! I confess I have been missing my husband. He was gone to Africa and then came…

Dw & I went to see a specialist this morning. Or at least we were told we were going to see a specialist, but instead they had us see the PA. We asked about the specialist and were told that he was not even in the building…..I should have been a bit more assertive probably….

Thankful Thursday – The Phone Call – July 2, 2009

July 10, 2009 Linny Saunders91 Comments

Back in January…just days after the fire, I wrote the following paragraph: God’s timing is always interesting. He is never late. He is never early. I believe He is deliberate, intentional and precise with each and every thing He does. (And yes, even as I believe that whole-heartedly, it can be very confusing too). I…

Update on Dw

People have been asking about Dw…. He describes himself as: weak and frail. He cries easily and often. He is thankful for everything. He is very, very yellow. I am certain he has lost more weight since he is not hardly eating at all. Nothing tastes good. Even water tastes yukky to him. I am…
