Prayers Please

My father in law had 7 hours of surgery after he cut a portion of his arm off on Monday. He lives in Winnemucca NV (WHERE??? 2 hours from Reno) and was flown to a trauma center in Salt Lake. My husband, Raul, tried to get a flight out this morning, but all the crazy winter weather has made him postpone till later this morning. We are praying he gets on a flight. My father in law's wife does not speak good English and it is hard for her to get around in a strange town, so Raul will go, and get the basics his dad needs. Since my FIL was flown over he doesn't have any clean clothes or basics that he will need to leave the hospital. We are hoping that Raul will then be able to come home on Christmas and celebrate, but it all depends on if they still need him in Salt Lake. Sorry, I am rambling now. Anyhow if you guys would be willing to pray for Raul's safe trip and his dad, Filaberto's, recovery we would really appreciate it.

MIA

Wow, see I knew when I signed up to blog that I would never keep up with it. That little dude in the picture at the top of this page is almost 8 months old! How in the world has this year been going by so fast. On the very last day of this year that beautiful curly haired kid turns 2!!! And Heidi, wow she is 8 going on 25. Heidi thinks she is a mom. She even put Julie in time out the other day.

So far the holiday season is going well for me. I have been selling the jewelry and even giving a few massages. Unfortunately the economy has made business slow for the massages. I miss all my wonderful clients that I see less frequently, and even more so, the ones I haven't seen in a while!

So since I last blogged we had Halloween in Tucson with my sister, Travis is a full fledged crawler, Julie is not as much of a bully (but that doesn't mean she's an angel by any stretch of the imagination), Raul is running scared at all these mobile children. Travis eats anything that will fit in his mouth, Heidi has created a list for Santa that is fit for a teenager. I have made my family pajamas to get Christmas pictures taken in. I have been making puppets, for fun, but if the collection continues to grow, they may take over the house. I got word that one of my friends from way back when is getting married, how exciting is that??? But on a sadder note, another friend has been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, so please pray for her.

I think that is a basic update. I will try to remember to post once and a while!
