Here are some pictures of my amazing purse that my mom made. The different patches on it are from the different units that Tony has been in over the years. We used the fabric from one of his old uniforms. So, I feel close to him when I carry it; it is almost as if his sweat still lingers and reaches out to touch my arm. Romantic huh? We used an Army belt for the strap and the zipper from his uniform top for the zipper on the purse.
Many of you reading this know my good friend Shelley in Haiti. Her youngest daughter, Isabelle, is pretty sick. They think they have the problem figured out now, after a couple days of Haitian frustration. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors, for strength for Shelley and her husband, and of course for Isabelle's quick and full recovery.
Thanks!
So back I go to Grandma's visit. It was such a huge blessing to have her here. We had a blast laughing together and hanging out. Some of the highlights that I haven't mentioned yet were:
Only 2.6 million seconds until I get to see my dear husband! We are 88% done!!!! Good stuff people, good stuff!
We started off the morning with the kids eating cinnamon rolls while I got ready for church. Then I got them in their outfits. We headed to church and received God's word. In the sermon I was reminded that God's hand is in everything in life, even the hard and evil things.
I will get back to the Grandma visit soon, but I just had to share these pictures with you from this weekend! Dimitri is so cute! This was from Saturday when we all dressed up for North Carolina. Daddy would have been proud.
