Please Pray

For those of you who follow my blog, I am asking for your prayers.  My father in law Peter will be having surgery this coming Tuesday 4/17 to remove 25% of his lung.  Back in November the doctors were going to operate then & it would have been only 10% that needed to be removed.  Whatever they saw has almost tripled in size since November.  They are not saying what it is, but it doesn't look too good.  Ed is very concerned and will be flying down to Florida on Monday to be with his parents.  His dad is going to be 85 in June & has many medical issues. 

Please pray for traveling mercies for Ed, peace & comfort for his mom & dad and most of all that the doctors can take out whatever they find on Tuesday and for a quick and uneventful healing.  Also keep the kids & I in your prayers as Ed will be away all week....I think it's going to be a long week.......

I am also asking for prayers for myself.  I need to go back for another mamogram on Monday.  In my most recent one they saw something of a concern with the tissue.  Just need to go back to re-check.  I know my God is in control & I know HE IS ABLE!!!

Thank you in advance for your faithful prayers for my family.  I will update soon!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Easter 2012

Peek a boo I see you....

Looking so pretty

Brianna taught her to do the serious face!

Looking so pretty in my Easter dress from grandma.

My first Easter Basket...





We celebrated Shiloh's first Easter with us on Sunday! Even though she is still too young to understand, we had fun watching her open her Easter basket filled with goodies. I also enjoyed dressing her up...lol!

The day went by so fast. My parents came to church with us, then over for dinner along with my brother & his family. It was a nice quiet day and everyone left by 6pm! Now we are eating the leftovers! They are always the best!

Back to School!

Congratulations to my husband on getting accepted to college. He will be continuing his education to receive his masters degree. Most of the work will be done online and 2 weeks being in Indiana at IWU. We have prayed about this & know that God has answered our prayers! He should be done in about 2 years. He has a lot of studying & reading ahead of him. Please keep us in your prayers as this will be another adjustment to our family life. He usually helps me out a lot with Shiloh, now he won't be able to do much of that. He will have to do most of his reading and studying at the church since it is much quieter there :).

Now I have 2 in college, 1 in HS and 1 in middle school!!! Maybe one day I will go back....I don't think so....lol!! I am happy being a "Domestic Goddess"!

Happy Easter Everyone!!

7 months today!

Today is 7 months that Shiloh has been with us! Our lives have changed drastically, but we are and have adjusted well. I am so proud of Peter, Brianna & Matthew for how loving & caring they are to Shiloh. They treat her like she is their sister! When we first heard about Shiloh needing a home we were a little hesitant at first. Ed & I prayed and then talked with the kid. The only one who hesitated a little was Matthew because he said now he wouldn't be the baby! I assured him he will always be my baby boy :-)!

Shiloh has brought so much joy into our home. She is such a good baby with an awesome personality. We are so thankful that God sent her to us & pray that one day she can become a "TORRES"! We will continue to pray God's will for that! As for now, as long as she is with us we are her family and are going to love & take care of her until God releases us (if he does)! I pray that never happens!

We love our little "Princess Shiloh" and are so thankful to God for sending her to us!!
