Thanksgiving

Well, it's been awhile since I've updated our blog. everything is going well, and we have sooooo much to be thankful for. We are especially thankful for our family and friends. Here are a few pictures of the boyson Thanksgiving, out in Hempstead. Ryan really enjoys archery, and is quite a good marksman. Brendan is Mr. Helper. Here is a picture of him helping to cut down Mee-maw and Pa-pooh's Christmas tree.

Last weekend, Ryan was in a UIL (University Inter-scholastic League) spelling competition, and came in second. (all of the schools in our district competed) His team won first place for the Language Arts events, and his school won overall (1st place) sweepstakes for all of the events.

Ryan is enjoying playing basketball with the Y and Brendan likes doing gymnastics at K2.

We have all been very healthy for quite awhile, but I'd like to ask for your prayers for a couple of my friends, both moms. Pam Shaw has been in the hospital for well over a month and has some rare form of vasculitis. She has 2 children at home that are 10 and 11, and a grown daughter in Pennsylvania (I think). She is making some improvements, but was completely non-responsive and on life support for a looooong time.

My other friend I'd like for you to pray for is Denise Haigh. She is the mother of 4 young children ages 1,3,4, and 9, and is pregnant with their 5th. She has had pneumonia and pleurisy for about a month and has been in and out of the hospital and is now back in and now having problems with her blood sugar. She is from England, and the church is her only family here.

Thank you.

I'd love to hear from you anytime. Love, Christy
