The past few days have been busy with visits from several friends. We wish to post some photos of our recent visitors.
My life-long friend, Allison, came to visit me Saturday. She had attended Victoria’s heart-surgery at UAB, but I didn’t think to get her picture back then. She drove into town Saturday to be with her mom. Just recently her mom, Shirley (who has commented to several of my blogs), found out that she has cancer. I was glad to see Allison again, but I know we both hated the reasons for which she had to come into town. Please say a prayer for Mrs. Shirley when you think about it. I know Allison would appreciate it so much.
Next, we had a visit (on the same day) by Jan. She was so sweet and brought a toddler bed for Elyssa. We are so thankful for it. With our growing family, it came just in time. Here is a photo of Elyssa sleeping in her bed the first night. She LOVES her new bed. She has been great about staying in it. We, also, actually moved Natalie into Elyssa’s room, so they are roomies now! So far, things have been going pretty good! I do have to admit that at their nap time yesterday something quite funny happened. Natalie kept standing up in the crib, jabbering to Elyssa about who knows what. I had to get onto them several times and tell them to go to sleep. Once, I came in and Elyssa’s exact words were (as she sat up in her bed emphatically), “Mommy, this is crazy!” She proceeded to tell me that Natalie didn’t want to go to sleep. It gave me a good chuckle! What a drama queen!
On Sunday, we were brought some yummy Chicken Spaghetti by Judy, Susanna and Meredith. Elyssa LOVED Meredith’s visit! She had to show Meredith her new bed. I took their picture laying in the bed together. They are hilarious in this photo. They both shot their eyes over at each other at the same time. What cuties!
We even caught a little smile of Victoria’s on camera recently. We are so thankful for how she has been recovering. I’m hoping, soon, to catch some of her cooing on video to post. That is the new cute thing she is starting to do.
Heather, I look forward to your blogs each morning. I find myself disappointed when there isn’t a new one. I feel so a part of the Messick family now. You are a very talented, special, God gifted family. But of course, I always knew that thosE FATH girls are special. I am so thankful that I have one of you for my own. GOD IS SHINING THROUGH YOUR FAMILY.
Lordy, look at those legs on Natalie!
Heather & Mark,
I haven’t left any comments on your blog until now but it’s not because I haven’t been reading every word and praying for you guys regularly. Victoria looks like she is doing great and she is such a pretty baby. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Tom and I love you. Teresa Callan
Heather, you know we are praying for you guys. Tell Allison I said hello! LOL! That brought up a flood of memories seeing her. Tell her I will also being praying for her mom as well. God is with you guys. I can see it everytime you put in a blog entry. He has entrusted you greatly with this journey. It just means that you guys are truly special in His eyes to go through such a situation.
Keep pressing in,
Paul
