Keep us in your prayers, please!

Have you missed me? Today was not one of my best days but I need to share with you to let you know that the light at the end of the tunnel does NOT appear to be an oncoming locomotive. I was in Victoria this week doing my Mimi thing and playing with Addie Mae while Kimberly teaches all those little darlings. I have so much fun with that little doll. Anyway, this morning I was actually sleeping in my bed down there ( Miss Addison had been asleep for 6 hours) and Kimberly woke me to tell me Kenneth was on the phone and was experiencing some medical problems. To make a long story short, he is in the hospital tonight being monitored to rule out a stroke. So I started my day off being scared to death when he tells me is numb on the entire left side of his body followed by a mad dash back from Victoria and a day full of tests in the hospital. All really looks good as of now. If it was a stroke, it was very minor and they think it is actually just that his blood pressure and diabetes medicine needs to be adjusted. Thank you God for that, I am not ready to deal without him just yet...maybe another 35 years!

Who knows where this road will lead...

It has been a very busy two months since I posted anything and I know all of you have just been waiting with baited breathe ( or not). Since my last post I hyave been busy working for the Census Bureau...It's is your hands...Mail it back! Seriously, it is very important that everyone mail their Census form back ASAP. Did you know that it is estimated that if Texas gets an accurate count this time around, that we stand to gain 3 - 4 additional seats in Congress? 10 questions, 10 minutes...JUST DO IT! Those are my words of wisdom for today.

On a much more important note, since my last post, Ken and I became grandparents again. Kimberly and Chris welcomed Addison Mae Purdy (Addie Mae) into their hearts and home on 02/01/2010 (cool date, huh) Needless to say, she is beautiful. If I can remember how, I will post a picture for all to pay homage to.

I will try to get back on the blogging wagon and keep you updated on Addison's growth .

Basically, 2010 has started off great. We are so sorry for the loss suffered by Melissa, Kim's best friend, with her Grandma's death New Year's Day but her pain is over and we will keep the family in our prayers. Ken and I went to Victoria for Chris' Baby-Que over the New Year's weekend. We had a wonderful time and while the boys were partying, Kim and I painted the master bath RED. At least we started it, she and Chris had to finish it on Sunday. It looks wonderful.

We brought Honey back to her own apartment from the Rehab center Tuesday. She has been at the Rehab since her fall on Oct. 26. For those who I have not kept in the loop, she had vertebraplasty ( they put cement in a couple of vertebrae in her back that were collapsing) and has done wonderfully since then. She is still doing physical therapy to regain the strength she lost from lying in the bed. She seems to be happy to be home.

Hope everyone is having as great a start to the New Year as we are.Here is my wish for everyone for the New Year...
