Life at the Hankins house pretty much consists of three staples: Hugs, kisses and/or zerburts. I just tried looking zerburt up on dictionary.com to see how to spell it and I guess it's not actually a word? So sad! Brooke loves to give them; they make her laugh. The silly girl is sitting in the living room in her High School Musical pj's, wearing a sweat band on her forehead and asking for progresso soup from an ad in the newspaper. She just handed Mike the phone and told him to call for soup. Now she's in the computer room with me handing me the ad, signing telephone. She's very persistent. "MMMMMMMMMM" she says. Mike just told me that Brooke is now trying to call for the soup herself. He's trying to explain to her that you "can't call for soup." Ha. She cracks me up!
We cleaned out the garage today...making room for a surprise for Brooke. Anyone who know's us well, knows that we've always wanted to get Brooke a yellow car. Not just any car...a screaming yellow Mustang. It looks like it's about to happen. We found one online in San Antonio, so Mike and I are flying there next Friday and will be driving it home on Sunday. So exciting! We can't wait to see her face when we pull up in it. Nothing makes Brooke any happier than yellow cars. (Other than fire trucks, and we really can't afford to go that route.) This car is a 2006 model, low mileage, super clean...and a GT. We're really looking forward to it and using it for our multi-weekly "soda pop" excursions. This is Brooke's car and she deserves it!!! Please pray for our safety as we bring the car home.
Brooke's Hematology appointment got moved to 11:00 tomorrow. Pray for a productive visit and that this doctor can meet Brooke's health care needs locally. What a blessing that would be! Pray for continued protection over Brooke. She and I are both struggling a little right now with allergies...it's like we're both on the "edge." I'm doing everything in my power to stay a few steps ahead of it so we don't get sick.
We serve an awesome God. We are so thankful for our many blessings...most specifically - Brooke. May you all have a blessed week!
