Highs and Lows

One of the highs: the landscaping Barron has been doing looks wonderful! The grass is so green, and now we have flower beds with mulch. Thanks to Spencer Crumbley and Cezar (I hope I spelled it right) for helping us get the landscape cloth down and the mulch on top. They will come again on Monday and help us get more of it done.

One of the lows: new minivan needs new brakes -- yikes at that expense!

Another high: Coworker/friend Gary Stapler provided transportation for me to get to work and home today. Had a great time with him meeting Barron and showing off the new house and yard.

A big low: Cousin Debbie Brown has been diagnosed with acute leukemia - and kidney infection adding poison to her system. Please join us as we pray for Deb (principal at Cold Springs Elementary) and her brother, Rex (whose wife is principal at Fairview Elementary) and their families. Their mother, Midge, is the oldest Wilkins cousin (Barron's mother's side) and is in nursing home in Hanceville.

Another low: Barron cannot shake the hacking cough that just keeps using all his energy. He is on another round of meds so we are hopeful that these will work!

I'll try to get some pictures of the house/yard posted soon.
