Serving Jesus on Route 66: December 2009
http://route66poffs.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. A Christmas Full of Blessings and Generosity. What a wonderful time we had celebrating our Lord's birth this year with dearly-missed friends and family in Minnesota! It was so much of a blessing and encouragement to our hearts and spirits. (The picture above is Vince's special creation. It's tradition for us to bring a birthday cake and sing "Happy Birthday Jesus" at my mom's annual Christmas party.). And I think it's my stepmom. In the background but am not sure:). Friends t...

Thursday, September 17, 2009. Fruits and Veggies- Oh the Possibilities! Wow- could a person ever fully come to know all of the possibilities that fruits and veggies offer? Do you ever have one of those weeks where suddenly no one eats the bananas? We had a week like that recently and as I watched that bunch of bananas begin to decay, I rushed through my virtual memory of recipe ideas to make sure they didn't go to waste. Here's the result:. I made one of the muffin recipes in the book with butternut squa...

Thursday, May 7, 2009. A World of Learning Opportunities. Since I haven't posted anything about what we've been up to for a while, I thought I'd show y'all a little bit of it. One of the all-time favorite things homeschooling does is allows us to learn in the most natural, inspiring, and interesting ways. We learn about reptiles by finding turtles and getting books all about them from the library. . . This time it's a three-toed box turtle similar to what we had last year.). Saturday, May 2, 2009. Even t...

Serving Jesus on Route 66: Happy Resurrection Day--Easter 2010
http://route66poffs.blogspot.com/2010/04/happy-resurrection-day-easter-2010.html
Sunday, April 4, 2010. Happy Resurrection Day- Easter 2010. What a beautiful day this Easter Sunday was! There's just something about needing good weather for Easter, and not just for the egg hunt! So after Pete took the kids to the Easter service at church and I did my own bedrest "service" from home, Pete and Vince hid eggs around the yard. Faith, Dylan, and Gabie had a blast finding them, although Vince hid Dylan's eggs almost too good! Brothers, aren't they great? Hope your Easter was just as blessed!

Serving Jesus on Route 66: Spring Fun!
http://route66poffs.blogspot.com/2010/03/spring-fun.html
Friday, March 5, 2010. The kids are still outside in the backyard right now; it's so hard to come inside! We got some cute shots of Gabie outside. Yeah, he could use a haircut, but he still couldn't be any cuter, hey? This picture reminds me of a junior male hair model with that serious look. Love it! The kids got a shot of me playing some basketball too. I hope my specialist doc doesn't see this picture! I might get in trouble:). Super athlete Dylan going up for a lay-up;. And Vince going for one too.

Serving Jesus on Route 66: June 2009
http://route66poffs.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 13, 2009. And the adventures down here in Oklahoma continue! Even though summer brings extreme heat, it brings many fun things with it. . . Of course swimming is one of them. . . Finding critters another (and an all-time favorite! Here are the kinds of things we find to feed them:. Now consider, with me, for a moment, the size in proportion to Pete's hands holding this earthworm. They are bigger than some of the snakes we've found down here! But his interest in Thomas the Train has provide...

Serving Jesus on Route 66: God's Smallest Messenger
http://route66poffs.blogspot.com/2010/04/gods-smallest-messenger.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. But we are so happy he is here safely. Unfortunately, he was admitted to the NICU, where we still are as of 4/28/10. His breathing was very shallow and his lungs were too weak, so his first couple of days were spent on a ventilator. Just like my other two preemies, he also needed a little time with his sunglasses on under the bili lights. He was in an incubator but is now regulating his own body heat! Of course, things are kind of crazy for us! During the day at the hospital, w...

Serving Jesus on Route 66: Bringing Baby Home
http://route66poffs.blogspot.com/2010/05/bringing-baby-home.html
Thursday, May 13, 2010. After almost three weeks in the NICU, we got to take our little Malachi home in time for Mother's Day weekend. I've had a lot of great mother's days, but this gift topped them all by a landslide. Not only did we get to take him home, but the other kids got to meet their baby brother for the first time! At birth, he weighted 5 pounds, 6 ounces. He got down to 5 pounds 1 ounce during his early NICU days, and was discharged weighing 5 pounds 13 ounces! We were very nervous to see how...

Sunday, March 21, 2010. Bed Rest and My Helpers. As our close family and Facebook friends know, we've had a few surprises come our way. At 30 weeks, this baby decided it was time to try and be born. Fortunately, after 5 days in the hospital, different medications to stop labor, and a blood transfusion, I was able to come home on bed rest and medication. Each day this little guy grows inside the womb is a victory. Since Friday night is pizza night, Vince challenged himself to make homemade pizzas by himse...
