April Showers Bring May Flowers

Yesterday afternoon Laura, Troy & the girls walked over to Mom & Dad's house for a visit. The sun was out & it was such a beautiful day!!!! Let's rewind though, we went to early service & were back home by 10:30am so Will went out back & mowed the yard. If only Lilyanah's hair would grow as quickly as our grass! He finished just in time for us to head to Abby's Pizza where we met up with our family as well as Dwayne,Mindy, & (6 month old)Peyton Seeber who were in town for the weekend. Unfortunately our camera battery was dead so I got absolutely zero pictures! They, as well as Corey, Kelsey & Dwayne's older sister (& my dear friend) Randie, came over to our house for a short visit. It brought back memories of living in Oklahoma City. For about 6 months Dwayne & Mindy, Will, & Corey & I all lived in the same apartment complex. Dwayne & Mindy were there first, followed by Corey & me & last to join was Will. Typically the guys I dated lived at least a half hour away & more typically at least 100 miles away. But when Will & I were dating he lived about 100 feet away. It made dating pretty convenient. He would leave sweet notes on my car for me to find before work & we would meet in the evening to go visit in one of the many wooden swings placed around the property. I got a little off subject. . .
Dad has their TV hooked up to download video from the video camera. Something we desperately need to do since we started videoing before Lilyanah was born & now she's a day away from being 15 months old! So, we headed over to Mom & Dad's to work on getting some video downloaded. Technical complications did not allow for us to get any of that done, but such is life. It was a bonus that the Kronewitter family decided to come over & we had a nice day!
I have neglected to write very much about what is going on with Will's side of our family. He has two uncles both of which are suffering from serious health problems. His uncle Howie (52), who lives in Ft. Worth has been battling with oral cancer for over a year. (The picture above is of Will's uncle Jackie (far left), Melanie (Howie's wife), Michelle (Will's sister) & our little Lilyanah.) The picture to the left is Lilyanah playing with Howie's hat on Thanksgiving.) It's been a really tough road, but Howie is a tough guy with a lot to live for. Doctors are currently using an experimental drug on him as he's done all of the radiation treatments that he can do & chemotherapy has been only somewhat effective. Please keep him in your prayers! Will's other uncle, Jackie, (58), has recently been hospitalized with heart problems. He's in desperate need of a heart transplant. I think they've released him from the hospital, but I'm not sure.
All of this is really hard on both Lynn (Will's mommy) & Grandad (their daddy). We just lost Meme not all that long ago and I cannot begin to imagine how hard it is, no matter how old your kids or your brothers are, to watch your family physically hurting so much. So, please keep the whole family in your prayers. Thank you so much! I hope you all have had a blessed day, we love you all! ~ Wendy.
