I don't have a lot of time for an update right now but I know a lot of you are praying for Ricky's mom. Her surgery went well yesterday. They took out her uterus and ovaries. The Doctor said she does not need to have chemo or radiation therapy. All of the nurses were telling her how lucky she was that she caught it so early because most women don't find out that they have uterine cancer until it's spread too much. God is so good. We went to see her this morning and she was very tired. She said she had been sick earlier (throwing up) but was feeling a little better. They were going to try and get her up and walking this afternoon. I am probably going to go back with the kids tomorrow and see her. Thank you all for praying.
As far as us. Ricky left this morning for the mountains and is going to be archery hunting tomorrow. He was so excited too:) He's so funny. Joanna is going on a feeding frenzy the last couple days so she has literally been attached to me. According to La Leche League, this is very common around 3 months. It's still hard to deal with because you can't do anything but nurse all day. Maybe I need a break though. She has grown sooo much the last week. I had gotten these pants for her on vacation and they were falling off of her and now they are too small!!! I don't know how much she weighs though. She is kinda sleeping right now because I'm rocking her in her bouncy chair with my foot. This is the first time I've been on the computer in the last 2 days. I have a couple pictures that I'll upload later. We've been getting 2 eggs a day from our chickens.
Ok, so I decided to do the pictures now.

Chase looked all cozy in wrapped in the blanket on his bean-bag chair. He was reading bob the builder whom he loves.

I found this really cute bunny costume that I thought would work well for a winter coat for Jojo. Maybe I should have gotten a bigger size though.
Ok now I really have to go and feed the little vutz (PA dutch for piggie).

Thanks for the update! I'm glad things went so well. That bunny coat looks like it would be big on Danica- Joanna must be huge now! Does your chiro have a good scale you can weigh her on? Just because I'm curious. She looks super cute, btw. So does Chase.
I will be sending out an email update sometime later about Danica's stuff- since she had her own 'procedure' done today. Have a great weekend!

The new pic of Joanna is adorable. Ahh, growth spurts, how I remember them.
Hope Ricky does well with the hunting and brings home some food!
Have a good weekend.

Hi Amy, I'm so happy with you about Ricky's Mom's surgery. I am sure a lot of us joined in lifting her up to the Great Physician.
Amy, are you learning PA Dutch? It's so funny that you knew vutz. Your Dad was always a character. If he heard a Dutch word he would use it incorrectly. I think he just did it to make us all hollar at him!
