Summer Memory Verses

This summer I plan to teach Luke one new Bible verse each week. We started our first verse on Sunday:

"For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him..." Romans 8:28

I am very proud to announce that he is able to say this one already and it's only Tuesday! Go Luke! It was so cute to hear him quote this to Aunt Kaitlen today. I felt so proud of him.

Notice... this weekend was nonstop graduation and graduation parties BUT I do not have even one picture of any of us with any of the graduates! My mind was somewhere off in outer space,

I guess... Sorry!

Anyway, here's a quick recap of our weekend.

Friday night-

Uncle Samuel graduated from Pearland High School!!! (he will be attending Navaro College on a football scholarship- Go Bulldogs!)

After graduation we went out for a nice Italian dinner.

Saturday-

Uncle Caleb's graduation lunch

Uncle Caleb's graduation from Dobie High School (Uncle Caleb was adorned with a special medallion signifying his amazing skills in the classroom)

Uncle Samuel's graduation party

Sunday-

Uncle Sam's sweet girlfriend, Steph's, graduation swim party(Steph is just like part of the family)

Busy, busy, busy! Congrats to our seniors- we are very proud of your hard work!

Night Out on the Town...

After a very long week with surgery, a new baby born to our friends (welcome Kyle), and a very difficult test Caleb had to take- we needed a night away!

Saturday night we went to eat at a super awesome steakhouse here in Pearland called Killens. Caleb's boss gave us a gift certificate there since he passed his test. After Killens amazing food, we went out dancing at Eddy's for a friends birthday. The picture above is of Kristen, Christy, and me fresh off the dance floor from the cotton eyed joe. We had a blast.

Caleb was a trooper the whole time. I know he was in pain, but he went anyway and tried to have fun. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of Caleb and I :(

We Made It!

We made it through Caleb's surgery this morning. All went well and Caleb has a successful skin graft. He is in some pain, but that is expected for today. Thanks for your prayers!

Today after I picked Luke up to come home and see Caleb he asked "mommy, did daddy's bobo fly off into the sky?" I didn't quite know how to answer that question. I think he is trying to figure out how bobos get better... I told him that God taught our bodies how to make bobos all better and when our body needs help getting a bobo better we go see the doctor and they can help us.

Anyway- this has been a learning experience for Luke. He has a tendency to be our little worrier, so it is really good for him to see that you can be hurt and it gets all better. Even when you have to go to the hospital.

Update

Just thought I would give you a quick update on Caleb's finger situation...

We went to the hand surgeon today and Caleb will have surgery tomorrow to graft a piece of skin from the palm of his hand onto his finger where the cut is. They will also check to make sure the tendon is ok as well because we aren't sure about that.

Please pray for Caleb at 6:30am!

Meet Baby Noah

Noah James Witherspoon
8 lbs 8 oz.


I love these pics of him with his pacifier... it is almost bigger than him!


Noah was born around 12:45pm May 23, 2009 to my friends Amy & Ford. He has a sweet big brother also named Ford who is 14 months old.

Yikes!

Yesterday was a VERY long day. We started off with a garage sale at our church at 6:30am, then I headed to the hospital to see Amy & Ford's new baby (he is super cute- more pics in the next post), then I came home to hopefully wind down and get some rest...

NOT!!!!

Caleb was trying to install a panel on the bottom of our new dishwasher and cut his finger really bad. If you know me, you know I DO NOT do any type of blood at all, but I tried to tough it out and go with him to the ER. When we got there we were told they could not do stitches because there was no skin there to stitch. They x-rayed it because it is so deep and close to the bone. He has to go see a specialist Tuesday to see what the next step will be.

YIKES!

To top it all off- it's his middle finger. You should hear all of the funny jokes he has been making about it...
