The past months have been difficult in many ways, to say the least. My children have lived every moment of this experience with me, but I guess Courtney being the oldest, has felt this with me. She is a blessing…a gift from God. She has been right by my side through this entire year. I’m just blessed to have her.…

Prayer Request…
Please be praying for Courtney. She is having a minor surgery in the morning. I know she is feeling a bit anxious tonight. I’m sure it will all be fine, but we still appreciate the prayer! With love, Tracy

We’ve been trying to wrap up some last minute things we have to do before Courtney has her surgery on Thursday. Jacob’s braces went on yesterday. I really thought he would be hurting today, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. He’s trying hard not to rub his lips across them too much. I think his efforts may spare him the pain…
Courtney’s Birthday
…and she’s 22! I remember so well looking over at her under the baby warmer just moments after I had her. She was so beautiful. I could hardly believe she had come from me!

greeting cards
If you have a chance, pop over to Courtney’s site today. She’s started creating cards from her photos. They are beautiful! (…I’m not just saying that because she’s my young’un. :D)

this week’s Bible verse: Courtney, changes these out each week as she reads through her Bible. Each verse is usually a reflection of something happening in our lives. Beautiful encouragement from the Word.
Gardenias and Sunday
The gardenias have been blooming. I took a couple to my grandmother this week. She asked me to hold them close so she might smell them easier. Her eyes closed and a smile crept across her face. There is a pleasure that only a freshly chosen gardenia can bring…my, my I do *love* this time of year. Courtney took these…
