Please Pray

4/13/09
** Thank you so much for Praying for L.and her girls. Myself and others have been in contact with her this last week and she covets and appreciates your prayers so very much. I told her I put it on my blog for others to pray and I also told her my Great Aunt's church was praying for her in Corpus Christi and she started to cry. She said, "I can't believe people are praying for my babies, tell everyone thank you" Please continue to pray for her and her babies. They are still alive and have both survived a major heart surgery late last week. In L.'s words, "They are hanging on by a thread" L. is tired, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Please pray for her. She is a believer and knows that everything happens for a reason...but it HURTS.

4/3
I am requesting your prayers for two precious little baby girls who are struggling for life in the NICU right now. One of my dear clients, L., went into premature labor last week. She was only 23 1/2 weeks pregnant. They did an emergency C-section, and the twin girls were born on March 29, 2009. One weighed 1.3 lbs and the other, 1.4 lbs. There are numerous complications, including, bleeding on the brain, and lung and heart problems. I admit, I don't really know how to pray about this, but I ask you to join with me as I pray for this family. I know our God is in control, and we sometimes don't understand His ways. He is Sovereign.
Please pray for L. She has such a sweet spirit and is scared our of her mind. Please pray that our loving Father will surround her with love, peace, and comfort as she faces this unbelievable trial. Please pray for these precious twin girls. Their names begin with J.

Ryannese

Ryann has been saying some cute things lately. I thought I better blog about it, so I don't forget them...


1. "Happy to You"- This phrase means ice cream and cake. She has been to several Bday parties lately and has loved eating cake and ice cream after singing "Happy Birthday." She now calls any sweets "Happy to You" .She will say over and over again, "More Happy to You...Peeeeaassse." My hips cannot take "happy to you" in the house....but she will get some in a week for her 2nd, "Happy to You"

2"Pay"- This means pray.Ryann loves to pray. I often catch her bowing her head and saying "Thank you much, Thank you much, Amen" I could learn a lot from her prayers. We have a hard time keeping a straight face when she prays because it is so stinkin cute.

3. "PaPa...Shake it": This phrase is the funniest to us, by far, because it is just so weird. A couple of weeks ago, Ryann started marching around the house, chanting, "PaPa....Shake it" "PaPa....Shake it". "PaPa" is Ryann's grandfather on the Lamb side. He doesn't really ever "shake it", that I've seen. We have no idea where she got this, maybe she wants PaPa to shake it:)Whenever I say the word "PaPa....Ryann answers "Shake it".....weird.

Ryann's Prince Charming

Ryann is obsessed with Cinderella. I didn't know the Disney Princess Obsession started so early...she is not even two! We actually try our hardest to not let her watch a lot of TV, but she did get to watch this movie last week on our way out of town. We borrowed my in-law's DVD player....which was a life saver!!! She watched it on the way down...and the next day...and the next day...etc, etc. She loves her some "Pincess Ella" Whenever Prince Charming comes on the screen, Ryann says really loud, "Daaadddyyyy!!" I caught her hugging herself and saying "Awwwww, Daddy" when Cinderella and Prince Charming were dancing. Sigh....melts my heart.

SpringBreak!

Last week, my family took us on vacation to Rockport, TX. They rented a house where my dad could just walk out the back door and fish....perfect for him and so relaxing for us. This was Ryann's first trip to the beach and she loved it. It was so nice to get away and spend time together. Mark has to study A LOT...with how many hours he is taking. It was nice to have a week where he didn't have to go to school. He still had to study, but at least the scenery was better than a cubicle at a library:)

Study Break....I love this picture.

Thank you, Mom and Dad, for a FABULOUSLY FUN trip! Wish I was still there!




Ryann got her beach on. I seriously cannot get enough of her chubby legs and feet, I love them so much. Ry wears the same size shoe as my 3 1/2 year old preschoolers...the girl's got some BIG feet




Jason made a friend

Ryann fine-tuned her ocean kayak skills this week
