Rolled the Stone Away...

Well, it's been done! Richard's stone was removed this morning and all went as planned. I am thankful to God that Richard made it through the procedure just fine, although I am concerned about the terrible discomfort he is now experiencing. I know it is just a matter of time where he will feel like himself again. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. Thanks so much.

Our day began at 3:15 am when my mother-in-law called to tell us that they were going to be a little late getting to our house to watch the kids. Richard was to check in at 5:30 am which meant we had to leave the house at 4:30. Mom & Dad were delayed because there was a large outbreak of severe weather here in the Tennessee Valley. Several tornados touched down, one of which was headed right for Decatur where they live. Although their nieghborhood was spared, there were 91 homes damaged (30 of those were completely destroyed) and over 45 fatalities across the southern states os Miss., Ala., Tenn. and Georgia. Please keep the families that have lost their homes and family members in your prayers. Please ask God to wrap his loving arms around them and bring them the peace that only He can provide during this difficult time.

The kids are all healthy and doing great. The boys are getting so tall, Anna is talking more clearly every day and Josiah can put his hand in the air and say "hi" which is really cute. It is so hard to believe that Noah will be starting Kindergarten this year. They all just grow up too fast!

Take Care Everyone,
RJF
