Follow up prayer request

As of this evening here is what I know. He is still in the trauma untit at Geisinger. He had emergency surgery on his arm. His pelvis, arm and leg are broken. Both lungs are punctured, 1 broken rib, brain bruising and cuts and scrapes of course. He is really heavily medicated right now. He can hear you and he shrugs his shoulders and moves his hand when you talk to him. It is gonna be a very long road to recovery but PRAISE GOD he is gonna be ok!!!! Thank you to all for your thoughts and prayers. I ask that you please keep them coming!! But tonight we are very thankful for not only Jesus' birth on this day, but thankful that he is keeping Josh in his arms! Thank you!!

Prayer Request

I am asking for a prayer request for my cousin Josh. I don't want to go into alot of detail on here about the situation, but he was in a bad car accident early this morning and was life flighted to Geisinger. He is in bad shape and desperately needs God's touch this Christmas morning!! If you could think of him and his/our family please pray for his healing!! Thank you!!

Our home at Christmastime.

Our Christmas tree.

Very big and very pretty.

Lights and garland above the cabinets.

Our house.

Pretty in the snow. Got the wreath up, the runner sled and ice skates out.

At night with the candles in the windows and the spotlight on the wreath.

These pictures don't do it justice. It's really pretty in person.

Thanksgiving

Well, here are the pictures from Thanksgiving!! After being sick and all I'm finally getting these on here! The whole family was in for Thanksgiving this year so David & I were able to take off work.

Well, here are ALOT of pictures from them coming in!! Enjoy!!

Pardon the delay

Well, sorry I haven't updated this thing! After the family all left from Thanksgiving I have been sick for the last 2 or three weeks, and still haven't completely shaken it yet! I am on an antibiotic now, so hopefully it works because I have been miserable. But we are just now getting things around for Christmas and I haven't even shopped yet at all!! Ahh!! Oh well. So, hopefully here soon I can get the Thanksgiving pictures up before Christmas gets here!! Hang in there with me!! :)

The start of our VACATION!!

David's sister, Jennifer and her husband, Justin and their boys Evan and Bryce came home from Florida for Thanksgiving on Sat. Here are a few pics that we've taken of their visit so far. The rest of the gang gets here Wednesday.
Jenn, Justin, Evan & Bryce.

Jenn said that that even if they take the blnket down he will put it right back up like this.

Bathtime.

Right after these pics I was helping Jenn give him a bath and lets just say there were some extra water works going on! I took my hand and tryed to cover, but we just lost it and were laughing histerically!! Too funny.

Almost time for bed.
