Update on Maw-Maw

My sweet Maw-Maw made some awesome progress yesterday in therapy.  She took ten steps on the bars with some assistance today :)  This is HUGE progress for her.  She still has no mobility on her right side and she's still not speaking.  When I saw her Saturday, she was in much better spirits.  I can't even imagine how hard this has been for her.  Please keep the prayers coming for those of you who pray!  The Lord is definitely working!

What I'm loving Wednesday

These precious little baby leg warmers!!!

I am SO ready for it to be fall-like weather!  It is my first fall with Alyssah so I'm super excited about her accessories like these leg warmers :)  I'm in love!  If only they looked as cute on older people ;) HA!  I can't wait to see her all bundled up in cute sweaters, beanies, and tights!

 

Brown nails...so much better than black, although I like that too ;)

 I'm so tired of my summer clothes that I want it to be colder just to wear my sweaters!  I love wearing the browns, oranges, and reds...

I have found a new tea flavor as well.  I haven't actually tried this one yet, but a local coffee shop has the vanilla chai and it's amazing!  I got regular chai tea a while back so I still have some of that to finish before I get this but I'm excited about trying it!  The chai tea is great with honey and sugar.   If you are a hot tea drinker, you should def. give it a try!

I would love to hear some of your favorite things about fall :)
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!  It's rainy and gloomy here, but the week is halfway over ;)

Terrific Thursday!

I just wanted to share a song with yall that has been stuck in my head and constantly sung in my car these days :)  I can think of nothing better to be sung continuously to our Creator.  Hope you all love it as much as I do!  Have a terrifically, fantastic Thursday!

You are Great

 John Larson

How great is the love that you lavished on me, How infinite your majesty

You formed the mountains, You calmed the raging seas

And redeemed this heart in me.

You are great, Your mercies never fade, Your grace is all I need,

Forever, forever I will sing, You are great.

You are great, the Heavens boast your praise.  My heart has been set free.

Forever, forever I will sing, That you are great.

You are great.

You are great.

You are great.

"Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD." Psalm 150:6

Prayer request!

My sweet Maw-Maw had a stroke last week.  She has been moved from the hospital to a rehab facility.  Please pray that she will do well with therapy and her speech and mobility will improve.  She was pumping gas last week at a gas station when she passed out.  A delivery man saw her and helped her get into her car.  He found her phone and scrolled to my Dad's number.  He got to her and drove her to the ER.  They admitted her into the hospital.  She cannot speak and the right side of her body is immovable.  She is completely aware of her condition.  She has been so frustrated and worried.  It's so hard to watch her go through this.  My family and I appreciate the prayers.  I know God hears our prayers and concerns, and He is bigger than anything we could ever imagine!

*"I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer." 
 Psalm 17:6


*"Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God."  Philippians 4:6


*“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."
Mark 11:23

Alyssah at 7 months

Alyssah is days away from being 8 months old, but I wanted to post some pics I took on her 7th month birthday. :)  She is the sweetest, most fun little princess and it's a joy being her Mommy!

Fall already?

I have been forgetting about blogging lately, but life has been crazy!  I can't believe Fall is already here and life continues to go by so quickly.  I wish I could slow it down just a little.  We have had a lot going on lately, but I wanted to catch up in pictures.  It seems to be the easiest and most fun way to do so :)  Here's are life lately...
