My other favorite is Lauren and her daddy in 2003 both wearing matching hats sideways! She was only 8 months old.... isn't that adorable?
Well.... that put a smile on my face. Good, huh?Happy Birthday Jack Michael! Today is Michael's birthday! Michael is Lanny's little brother. Michael was born like every other child and went in for bowel surgery at 6 months old. In ICU the nurse decided to go out for a cigarette and left Michael alone. Somehow his oxygen supply was cut off.... the brain damage left his mentality level at the age of a 6 month old baby. He cannot talk, he cannot walk.... but he can love. Mom was encouraged to place him in a home ... that he wouldn't live past the age of 5. She wouldn't do that.... she took him home and he lived with her until several months before her death when he went to live with his dad. He is celebrating his 56th birthday today! He's always been a blessing and had a smile. No matter how long Lanny was away.... he always remembered him when he came home. Such a sweetheart! We all love Michael very much.
Jordy and Uncle Mike
Rita, Susan Lanny and Michael (Kern missing... Mom never did get her picture of all 5 together)
Sleepy head!
Michael has a sweet tooth!
with his daddy....
Lanny will be calling his step-dad, Jack, to see how Michael is doing today. An amazing story of love.
Don't have much to say today. I have a terrible cough and backache so I'm not doing any more decorating today. I've got all day tomorrow to work on it. And the next day, and the next.... Ryan and Karla are about the only ones that come by so it's not like anyone will see it. lol! I've got to rest the back.... it hasn't hurt like this for quite a spell. Last night I was up coughing my head off... so I sucked on a cough drop and did facebook stuff.... will have to go in and see what I did because all I remember is I kept falling asleep! Oh well..... it is going to be a great day. No rain, woke up at 9:30 and papa is already out cleaning vehicles. Yesterday was his day of rest. Haven't been to church in a while. Papa didn't want to go with that terrible cough and now I don't want to cough through church. One of these days... this family will be cough free I pray! Wow.... sounds like a gripe session! I best quit that stuff!
Except for prayer request..... I just got this news this morning:
Four Lakewood police officers were shot dead in a Pierce County coffee shop in what a sheriff's spokesman described as a "flat-out ambush" Sunday morning.The officers -- three men and a woman from the Lakewood Police Department -- were sitting in the coffee shop with their computers, getting ready to begin their shifts when the gunman came in at about 8: 30 a.m., fired on the officers and fled, said Ed Troyer of the Pierce County Sheriff's Office.That breaks my heart.... the area is down by Tacoma. Please pray for these families!!!LIVE VIDEO: Live Coverage From KIRO 7"It was just a flat-out ambush," Troyer said.He said investigators believe the officers were targeted, and it was not a robbery.The officers were in uniform, and their marked cars were parked in front of the shop."The four of them are known by everybody here," Troyer said. "We haven't got any information as to why this happened."He said there's a $10,000 reward in the case.The gunman is a black man, 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 9 inches tall, in his 20s or 30s, with scruffy facial hair. He was wearing a black coat and blue jeans. He ran from the scene and was last seen on Steele Street.
Also mom has a friend at church that was cleared of cancer.... well now it is back and it isn't looking like a good prognosis. It has hit mom really hard.
Be thankful for your health, your families health, and what you have. You never know the future.
Hope you and your family enjoyed your long weekend... don't be sad it is over.... be happy you had it!
Weather To Expect:
A few sprinkles linger into Sunday morning, otherwise expect some clearing and temperatures warming to the lower 50s, with south wind to 10 mph.
Other than a little Monday morning fog, the rest of the work week benefits from a ridge of high pressure that will bring sunbreaks and highs in the upper 40's to near 50.
The only exception will be a chance of rain late Monday into early Tuesday as a cold front passes through.

What a sweet fella and a sad story with heartwarming outcome. I know that he felt the love of all of you throughout his life. Brings a warmth to the old heart and makes me feel bad about complaining about going up and down the stairs to the attic to bring down Christmas boxes:) Michael would probably love to be able to help me! Hope your cough gets better and your back. I haven't been too busy today, too much work yesterday. A lady in our Church passed away last night and it just has me sad. Love to all and have a blessed evening!
OH how sweet! I would have never just put him into a home either. I don't like those places!! He has been able to live this long because someone has taken such wonderful care of him!! You have a great day and take care of that cough!
