Land of the Sick

I am writing you from the land of the sick. As I told you last time, Anna was sick on Sunday. Well, it just got worse from there! She broke out in a rash on Tuesday and Daniel started running a fever Tuesday night. I took them to the doctor and Anna has strep and Daniel's lymph nodes are swollen and his throat is red and looks"streppy" the doctor said. So, we started Anna and Daniel on medicine Wednesday. About 3 hours later David started running a fever and so he also started medicine Wednesday. David & Daniel both got the rash yesterday and Samuel started running a temp and feeling bad Friday night. He played two ballgames and did great, but he really crashed after they were over. All of that and VBS starts tomorrow!!! So yesterday I was at the church for six hours working and Stephen was with the kids. We had a big tailgate party to kick-off VBS last night and none of my children were able to come. I hate it for them. I don't even think any of them are going to church today. Does anyone want to come to Star City and help me? I was really thinking we would be through all of this sickness, but I think going to the ballgame sent D&D into a relapse and just did Samuel in! Anna is doing good though-I think it is her orneriness kicking in!!! One of these days I will post and not be complaining
about something I promise. One day soon!!!

Love ya'll,
Julie

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
