More Need for Prayers

I'm sorry to be on the downer note again, I'm starting to feel like a broken record, but my friend "Fred" (Meg Roth) need your prayers again. Most of you know that Fred and her husband Will lost their daughter Tori a few years back. They gave birth to a son this weekend and all seemed ok, but then the doctors found a heart murmur and little Frankie has a hole in heart that will need to be repaired surgically:( And as if that isn't bad enough, they were due to close on their house next weekend. I just don';t even know where to start. Pray for patience, pray for strength for the family and little Frankie, and pray that the docs fix the little guy and all goes smoothly. I think this is a somewhat common thing in babies, but it's very scary!

An update on my grandpa...his kidneys are still not functioning well. He needs to decide about dialysis I guess, there are risks and benefits, so we'll see what they decide to do. But he may be going home today? Pray for patience there too:)

Honestly, it's been a rough week. If y'all might pray for me too, I'd appreciate it. I just can't believe all this about little Frankie...Anyone have some good news? I could use it! (and I know none of this is about me...I appologize for the rant, but it's been crazy around here and I'm a bit frazzled!)

(Ok, I'm a little calmer now...I revised the earlier rant...)

Surprise!

We had a big surprise waiting for us when we went to go check on Grandpa Mark yesterday. Check out Riley's new wheels!

NOTE: Thanks, Meg for posting about the hat, I should also mention the "driving hat" came from Great Aunt Pammy and it's from PARIS! She bought Roo a hat in every country she went to on her recent trip to Europe! Thanks Grandma Linda for the Car and Pammy for the hats!!!

Mustang Riley!

Daddy's Girl

This is Riley's first time on the ice, last Saturday. They don't make skates small enough or she would have been skating instead of sliding "boot hockey" style. Daddy was so proud:)

Riley Rides a Pony

It's About Time!

I know I promised photos of the Hennepin County Fair a long time ago, but it's been a little crazy around here. So here are some happy posts with pictures! Riley went on a pony ride at the fair, I think Grandma had more fun than Riley did....Roo takes after her mommy, NO COWS! And checks out the goats with Auntie Jessie.
