Caleb's house work!!

He came, he went! Far too short but it was soooooo good to see him! So to the airport early this morning I took him!!! I did good, I didnt cry til I got in the car and saw him going through the doors! Grace, grace, its at every turn, thank you Lord!! I think Caleb was very pleased with the results of why he came....to see his family of course but also to work on his house!! Remember Daniel poured his walls a week or so ago and Caleb poured his walls yesterday, Monday!! And as always we have to make it an "event!!" We all went out, cooked burgers AGAIN and just had fun being together!! Kristen had to go back to be a hostess for a baby shower so she left last Wed. :( I asked Caleb if this still felt like home and he said "yes," and I asked him does MD feel like home too now, and he said "another home!!" Guess there's nothing wrong with "two" homes!!

this is Caleb's "castle he is building!!"

this little guy was "flitting" around happily right next to the will be french doors

at Caleb's house......it caught my attention and I chased it around a bit!

a butterfly........signifies change.......I thought it was neat that

as the Lord continues to guide, it will be a big change for Kristen

to "go country" but I know grace will abound

when that time comes! How wonderful that God reminds

us of his beautiful character through His own creation!!

do you see something WRONG with this picture?????

I do!!!!

Thankful the pour in the walls went well, everyone stayed safe and one more step accomplished on Caleb's house!! Now to "save up" and go to the next step, framing the walls and getting the roof on!!! In the meantime, Caleb has hired out Micah to clean up, take all the bracing down and spray paint the walls to preserve it until he will get the brick and stone later on down the road!! So praise the Lord for His provision!!!

Hope you all have a happy Tuesday!!! Its gonna be in the thirties tonight!!! Soooooo, good day for chili!!! Thank you for all your kind comments about the family pictures!!! I was thrilled to get them!!! I can check that "off" my list!!!!

P.S. ok, I can say it again.......luv iphone pics and edits!!!

I'm sure it's nice to know that they're secure and to not have that weighing in the back of their minds! It was a blessing to hang out with you all while they did it too! Lilian LOVED playing with "Mwercy" and the others, and getting to see "M&M"! :D Fun times!; October 19, 2011 at 11:03 AM

Joel's Story

Joel, our 11th of 13 and a twin of Josiah, at age 3 was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer, on December 6th, 2006. Joel had three perfect years of health and he and Josiah celebrated their 3rd birthday Sept. 13th, 2006. The first of Oct. Joel started having unexplained fevers for a few days and would return to active play. After the fourth round of fevers we took him to our family Dr. which they said his iron was low, so we treated that for a few weeks and took him back only to have his hemo. showing lower than before. We were referred to a hematologists and saw him a few weeks with blood checks twice a week. At a visit on Dec. 4th we showed the Dr. the bumps, (which were tumors but we did not know at the time) on Joel's head and he was very concerned and we were told we needed to admit him immediately and start extensive tests the following day. Joel went through rigorous testing and then the dreaded results were given. Joel was at a stage IV the most extensive stage, but we were hopeful that the Lord would use the means of Chemotherapy treatments to restore Joel's body. Joel endured 8 1/2 days in the hospital, came home for Christmas, and returned for his second round of chemo Jan. 3, 2007. Joel had a seizure that night after midnight and went into a coma due to a tumor bleeding in his head area and causing his brain to swell. After tests the following days, the Dr. declared Joel "brain dead" and took us to court to force us to take Joel off life support, as we did not agree with the medical field's definition of death. Our family sought to stand with the scripture, "life is in the blood,"and until Joel's heart quit beating naturally, he was living. We were making arrangements to bring him home and on January 23, 2007 his little heart stopped beating and he went to be with the Lord Jesus in heaven. Our lives are changed forever. God is faithful in the midst of this trial and we look with great hope to be with him someday.
