Faith

Well, what do ya know...it seems that God whispers through Amazon. I found this vinyl wall art while perusing the web for deals on flea medications for the furchildren...it just popped right out at me! Isn't it pretty? I now get to look at it every morning when I wake up, and every evening before I go to bed. I'm having an extremely hard time keeping the faith right now, so I hope that it will help me to be a little more positive.

 I know that I have been slacking in the blog department lately. There has been a lot going on our lives, but it's not uterus or sperm related! Lucky us.

My grandmother passed away last week. She has been sick for awhile, but things took a turn for the worst and she just couldn't hang on any longer. She has been a huge supporter with our treatments and I wish that I could have thanked her with a grandchild. We were finally able to put her to rest today because the government run hospital for the military wanted to take their sweet time releasing her death certificate. Such respect. Anyway, she raised an awesome son...my father. The man will literally put everyone and everything before himself in order to help others. I'm so glad that we were able to support him during this time. I cannot even begin to imagine how it feels to lose a parent.

No news on the house refinance. We were supposed to close (again) at the end of September, but that f*ed up too. Oh, wait a minute...let me refer to my new Vinyl Wall Art.

Griswold (aka Clark, Sparky, the newest furchild) is growing like a weed. He is only 4 months old and already 34 pounds...ouch! He's very smart...so far he can sit, shake, lay down, high five, roll over, and ring the bell on the back door to let us know he has to go to the bathroom!

Here is my favorite picture of my grandmother and my father when he was a baby...rest in peace Memom!

Here are some recent pics of Griswold...passed out of course!

Griswold and his big sister Ellie May! Such sweet little siblings. Ellie hates him.

"I have faith that God will show you the answer. But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do. That's how it often is. God's voice is usually nothing more than a whisper, and you have to listen very carefully to hear it. But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell."
