This-n-That

How in the world does Michelle Duggar do it? 19 kids...and still counting? With Baby Josie home, I can't imagine her anxiety. She seems to be such a kind, sweet, gentle person and patient. My thoughts and prayers to her and the rest of the family as they care for their preemie. The thought of having to keep a 20 person house germ-free scares me for them! What an inspiring family...yet I am content with my one precious child.

Brooke is doing well. She's still on a bowling kick but we think it's because she wants to go see her Special Olympic friends. She apparently has her "seasons" mixed up...state track meet is in two weeks in Albq., but please don't tell her...she'll drive us nuts asking every 2 minutes! We have borrowed the bowling ramp from Pat and Dave and plan on taking her bowling some evening. And the plan is to go to state games even though practice this year for Brooke has been sparce. She's had zero time with the team, which is what she's missing right now. She loves the state games and I think it is just what she needs to boost her people needs. She is so lonely sitting at this house!

On the healthfront, I'm in the process of scheduling some of the tests that the Infectious Disease doctor in Albq. wants done. 3 out of the 4 can be done locally so anything to save us a trip to Albq. has my vote. Our Denver trip is stuck somewhere in the "getting insurance approval" phase. You know how that goes! I did learn that when we go it will be for a Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday. Looks like it may be June!

Hawaii is right around the corner. In fact, we'll be there a month from now! We're so excited. Please pray for continued good health for Brooke and for the grandparents who will be watching her (both sets). Pray that Mike and I are able to unwind and relax and enjoy the beautiful setting. Pray for Brooke not to worry too much about us, and not to drive everyone nuts asking where we are. Ha. I am so thankful for our support system that is allowing us to be able to make this trip so far from home.

Happy Mother's Day. What a truly blessed job it is!!
