Well.... this has been the longest week ever. I may be exaggerating... but I know my day isn't going as I had planned. I cannot believe the unknown in our lives. We are really trusting God right now because we would go crazy if we didn't. I am talking about Papa's job. He has been at Deb's (his higher bosses shop) this week. Yesterday she was talking to him about taking an early retirement because they haven't been able to find a place for him yet. That wouldn't be good. He is only 61 and he can't collect social security until next year. Our bills will be paid off in April. We have been working so hard! His car is paid off soon... only owe $146.00! At this point he isn't planning on getting out early. But .... God is in control.
Papa took today off and we have been talking. Right now he left to get his hair cut. Hair cut and oil changes. Seems to be a constant around here. He'll be changing oil in the cars tomorrow. He has a 4 day weekend.... that is sweet. We have games on Saturday to go to.... soccer. Still no Halloween party. I tried to coordinate yesterday with Tara and Karla and still not a go. Oh well. Halloween sucks anyway.
I will see the grand kids today! We're picking up Andrew and Lauren and meeting Karla, Tara and all their kids at Red Robin for a celebration lunch! This is conference week so no school today or tomorrow.... and they all got amazing grades!!! I am so proud of my grand kids. And their parents.... they push harder than I did. My kids were smart but sidetracked.
My video for the day made Papa laugh! It was the girls at Tara's playing... actually running and screaming. It is funny because our poor Maddie girl is the youngest and not the most coordinated (like her mom, mam, and grandma langager! It's a family thing) Watch your volume here!!!!
Well.... that is about all I got. Some pictures... this was a yucky day... you can tell by the sky and darkness... all except for over at Cliffside. The sun was shining only on that area. Cool, huh?
Of course... my blog couldn't end without pictures of our Makoa boy.... who I share with all of you!
 |
| I thought he would be afraid of my doggy costume. He loved it! |
 |
| He loved cocoa puffs for breakfast... especially when I showed him the straw! |
 |
| I'm trying to get him to hold his spoon right... to no avail. |
 |
| But he loves the milk! |
 |
| He brought cars over. This is his new smile when you say "smile". |
 |
| He loves laying where Lauren slept! |
 |
| Cheese! I think you've seen every tooth he has now! lol! |
 |
| Giving some lovings..... love that kid! |
I pray you all have a great day today! God bless your comings and goings! xoxo

Well, I hope it all works out with Papa's job! As you said, God is in control and we just have to let him take the wheel when we don't know which way to turn!
That sweet Makoa in that dog costume is too precious! I am surprised he kept it on too! I usually lean toward make-up instead of masks because the EYE-HOLES are super annoying for the contacts!
OK, Dear Joyce, enjoy your day! Big hugs and prayers for the right move for Papa's job!
Please know that Lanny and you are in our prayers.
Love,
Bob & Linda
I will be keeping you and papa in our prayers about his job!! I know from experience that God takes care of us and that he only allows things to happen that he knows we can handle!!
I love that mask on that sweet fella!!! I love that smile!!
Enjoy your evening!! Hugs, Love and Prayers to you!!
Empathizing the whole job uncertainity. believe me... saying a prayer for your hubby and his job security. It's ALL God. But it sure is nice for a man to know where he stands in the whole realm of feeling accomplished with work and understanding the Will of God.....
Makoa is a HOOT!!! What a cutie pie...for real. That dog head fits him to a tee.. and his smile is so contagious, You can't help but view that funny face and start smiling yourself!!!
Hugs to you, the cheerleader and supporting wife, and prayers for your hubby.
Aw, I will be saying a prayer for Papa & his job! Put it in the Lord's hands He'll guide you!
That little Makoa is just a scream! Loved the miles of smiles :)))))))! Too cute drinking the milk with a straw! Hope you get some rest tonight & enjoy the games!! Love Ya!!
