Our Girl Grace

BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO ALL! WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT 2008 BRINGS……….HOPEFULLY OUR DAUGHTER!

BLESSINGS TO ALL!

You may remember back in October I mentioned that our Pastor, Fr. Bob had surgery to remove a mass on his pancreas. He is finally home from the hospital, after nearly two months.  We are so thankful that he was able to be home in time to celebrate his birthday on December 18th. Fr. Bob is in need of our continued support, love and our prayers. We in fact need a miracle! He has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which has spread to his liver and lymph nodes. Once his strength is built up he will begin radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

We walked into Church on Christmas Eve for Mass and I saw Fr. Bob’s niece who has been caring for him, I had a sense that he was in the church. Sure enough… he was able to be a part of our Christmas Mass. Although he looked weak, I think he looked good for all that he has been through. Having him with us in Church to celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ was a miracle!

Now we again ask for your help… Fr. Bob is in need of  our continued prayers…even more than before. Our church family has been saying this prayer since he became ill and now I am asking any of my blogger friends who are interested to join us.

Prayer for Fr. Bob’s Healing

May God, who is never absent in health or sickness, in joy or in tribulation, look mercifully upon you. May you find relief and healing, patience in time of waiting, and faith made stronger by health restored.  

Thank you and God Bless you!

WE WISH EVERYONE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR! WE HOPE TO HAVE GRACE HOME BY NEXT CHRISTMAS!

BLESSINGS TO ALL,

PAUL, TERRI, MARY, BEN, SPUNKY AND SOON TO BE GRACE ELIZABETH

Our friends Kristin and Blaine stopped by the shop on Saturday so we could have a mini pre-Happy 2nd Birthday and Christmas party with their daughter Tessa. What a delight she was! It was fun to watch her open her presents and explore the shop. She is a girl on the go, she doesn’t slow down for a minute. She loved the computer and scanning all the clothing items. Thank you so much for sharing her with us. Happy 2nd Birthday Tessa, and we look forward to watching you grow!!

I was feeling a bit blue on Thursday due to the very small number of LID’s they matched. I decided to go web-shopping. Much to my surprise, when I clicked on www.oldnavy.com this is what came up!!! Okay, how could I resist. My Mother in Law called that afternoon and was out at the mall. I asked her to check our ON, but no luck. They had not received this line in yet. So yesterday I went back on line, and an even bigger surprise all the items were marked down!! So, I did a bit of damage on Grace’s behalf. Aren’t they adorable!! Later in the day when I went back to the site the ladybug shoes were sold out. I think it was all meant to be…….do you think it was the Lucky Ladybug????
