Cold season has officially arrived!

Well, cold season (as in flu and cold) has officially arrived in our home. LJ has that RSV virus, and Gary's got something too. So far I'm the only one that has managed to not get sick (knock on wood!). As best as I can tell, Gary's got a sore throat, and sinus congestion...my guess is a sinus infection since we've been having a lot of warm weather changing quickly to very cold. LJ, however, actually has a virus. Since antibiotics won't do him any good, our pediatrician gave us an inhaler to use on him. He said to expect him to get worse for a couple days still yet, but just make sure his breathing doesn't become labored. The poor little guy just looks positively TERRIFIED when I give him the inhaler, so I try to smile, laugh and giggle at him to ease his worries.

Pretty much everyone in my immediate family is sick too, so our Christmas, which was supposed to be tomorrow morning, has been cancelled and to be rescheduled at some later date after everyone is well again!

In regards to the house, we haven't had much interest shown in it yet, but we've not given up hope. Really, Gary and I are totally okay with whatever God wants us to do. It would be nice to know which direction that is, though...but isn't patience one of the fruits of the spirit? We'll just continue to pray about it, and know that God will do whatever is best for us.

Merry Christmas

If you didn't get any card from us this year, that's because I didn't get any out this year. If you DID get a card from us...I'm not sure what to tell you, because I assure you, I didn't send any out. Anywho, thought you might enjoy our Christmas picture. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

House for Sale...edited

After viewing some comps, we decided to change our list price to $194,900.

Okay, well, the buyers for our house couldn't get financing to buy our house....so we're back to the drawing board. If anyone is interested in 2 acres and a 2050+ sq. ft., completely remodelled, 3 bdr/2 bath house with a sunroom, woodburning fireplace, 3 car carport, and brand new double hung energy efficent windows (except in the sunroom), please let me know! Our asking price is $194,900, but if we like you we can probably work with the price a bit. These are just a few photos, if you're interested, let me know and I can send you more.

A little catch-up

Well, better late than never. Here's LJ's Halloween pictures. He was Charlie Brown, and his stuffed dog "ol' blue" was Snoopy. The trick-or-treat bag was compliments of my Aunt Brenda who has a monogramming buisness along with my cousin, Amanda, called Sew Cute.

Here's LJ getting a little mobility practice with Daddy!

As for the house deal, the only thing that is a bit of a hold up is our buyer's loan approval. We're not really sure what the status is on it. So PLEASE continue to pray about it!

If only....

If only I could relinquish control of my life and put EVERYTHING in God's hands, I'm convinced life would be much more fulfilling, and WAY less stressful. Gary and I had turned this house deal completely over to God, and he has made the seemingly impossible happen! Without even putting a for sale sign up, we have a contract on our house (in today's economy, this is almost unheard of around here!), and hopefully by the end of the day today will have a contract to buy my parent's. I can't really go into detail about everything yet (I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch), but some AMAZING things happened that allowed us to get to this point. God is good.

Sorry for no pictures right now. Blogging might be a bit scarce for awhile with all that's going on. I'll try to get some pics of the little man on here soon; if nothing else, I'll probably do an online Christmas card again, since it's looking pretty doubtful that I'll have time to actually send any out.

Please continue to pray for all who are involved in this, and for peace with whatever the outcome is. I'll give more details later....Love you all.
