Grandpa day(s)

They haven't seen grandpa since Christmas and grandpa needed a grandbaby fix. Hearing about Adam and Adrianne had(has) us under some stress along with everything else and instead of grandpa coming up for the weekend, I loaded the kids and drove down on Tuesday. Grandpa left this morning for Boston but he got to watch movies with bri and let Preston poke at his face :)

2013 can end now

How much more does The Lord think we can handle? Hopefully not to much more cause its starting to hurt and I mean HURT!

Today in Boston some sick person planned an event so horrific. At the Boston marathon explosives went off near the finish line.

My dad called me to ask me if I was watching the news and then told me this 2013 b#*>{ had another freaking litter. (Just an expression). My brother Adam and his wife Adrianne where watching the marathon at the finish line.

What I was told from my dad that Adam got shrapnel in his legs and Adrianne's shoes were blown off her feet and her heels were messed up. They've both been through surgery and unfortunately they are both at different hospitals.

My mother will be flying into Boston at about 4 pm tomorrow and Adrianne's parents will be flying into Boston around 6 am tomorrow.

I will update this post as I get information and if they know information about each other as I do not want them to find out anything about each other through my blog.

Thank you for your prayers!!

Adam and Adrianne are in very good spirits and will soon be together. Adam is being released/transferred to Adrianne's hospital today. He up and walking with a walker or crutches. I'm hoping to get more information on Adrianne later.

On the second news picture where the heart is drawn you can see (I do believe) Adrianne and Adam is the one hovering over her. They are both in white.

This picture shows where Adam had his skin for graft and a couple areas where they took shrapnel out. And obviously some major bruises.

Here is my sister Adrianne's story:

Thank you for all of the love and support this past week. It is true that Adam and I were attacked and dismembered by the second bomb on Monday. My foot was blown off and Adam was left with tons of shrapnel in both legs. We were awake and remember every screaming gory detail of the events following. I have since had two major surgeries where, as some of you know though tears and phone calls, they ...had no choice but to take my left foot. Learning to walk, stand and pee again is a real struggle. I'm thankful for all my late night oxygen party friends who have flown out, been here, taken the time, to curl up in bed with me . And BOSTON DOCTORS ARE SO BADASS! I have moments of sadness and pure rage that I will never dance the same but my friends (you) keep me going ever day!! love you!!

 

Again we thank you so much for the love and prayers!! It has meant so much to Adam and Adrianne and our families. We are so very thankful that the people responsible for this have been captured and will pay for what they did!

You know at the very beginning of this I asked how much more does The Lord think we can handle? I was reminded tonight that The Lord is good and lets the devil show his evil work just a little so that he can show how much more powerful he is. The devil may have set two bombs and killed 4 people all together but God has pulled this country together to show how much love we have for each other and is healing 160+.

A rainy day of fishing

When Clayton and his dad went fishing on Tuesday they ended up having extra worms. So today after church we went to the kids fishing pond and fished for about 30 minutes. It was rainy and slightly cold but we still went.
Brianna wasn't to excited I sometimes think I'm raising a city girl in the country life. She hates getting dirty and she tripped and fell while out fishing, and while she cried, she cried about getting dirty not because she tripped.
Preston just stayed up with gramma while papa tried getting Bri into fishing.

Quick break in rain

We got a good gap between rain clouds so we decided to go for a walk. Bri got her first bike ride of the summer in. Had to help her a little bit but once she stopped saying can't she saw that she can :)

Poor doll

They never see him coming. Or at least she doesn't. He always seems to attack and take the same Polly doll of Brianna's. But all I can say is he is becoming such the little brother.

Ooooooo

Preston has figured out the ooo shape and sometimes he even whistles :)

EASTER

What an awesome day to celebrate Christ resurrection. Beautiful almost 70 degree weather. We went to church, where they had an egg hunt for the kids and Brianna filled a Walmart bag half full. We came home and had lunch and then after lunch the eggs that had been died before church became "lost". So Bri and Preston (with grandmas help) went to help mommy find where they went.

Clayton worked on edging some molding up to make into frames, and after I painted them. While I painted the wood, Clayton started cleaning his truck as well as making an awesome Easter dinner.

It was such a good weekend filled with so much sunshine. I even got a little burn on my back, luckily though I don't really burn :)

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday because I know I did!
