Here comes Santa Claus....

We are off to see Santa (aka..George, my brother-in-law) at the American Legion meet Santa Claus party. They give out candy to the kids and the kids get a picture with Santa. My Dad fixed candy bags for this so I was told we had to go... haha. :)

We will see if Lily will sit in Santa's lap. Since it's her Uncle George she might even though she won't know it. Claire will, I am sure. and Drew will probably just coo and gurgle at him! :)

Hopefully, I will get to post pictures. I am not promising though. You know how my computer situation is! Lol. I have to laugh about it! :)

Love,
Julie

Happy Thanksgiving....

Colossians 3:15 (New International Version)

15"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."

Happy Thanksgiving and Love and Peace to you all,

Charlie, Julie, Claire, Lily & Drew

*Be sure and read my husbands post on thankfulness here

*I wish my pies looked this good! :)

update and please continue to pray...

Charlie has a pretty bad infection. He also has an extremely bad hernia. Actually, more than one. He has some things going on with his kidneys, as well. So, he is on some pain medication and antibiotics and some anti-inflamatory medication. He has to take all of that, don't lift anything and go back in two weeks. If he is not better at a satisfactory level, they will send him to a specialist. We really need your prayers as this is very bad news. Charlie's work is VERY physical. Not only that, but to keep up with our place and 3 kids is very physical work, as well. We also do not have insurance at this time, (long story). So, we cannot really afford a specialist.

I am asking you to pray and pray hard for us. I know there are people that have problems a lot worse than ours. But, I know that our circumstances require prayer, as well. I know when we need prayer and we need it now. I also believe that my God can fix this. So, would you please join me in prayer for our family? Pray that Charlie is healed, 100%?
