As you can see from the photos, the Lord has blessed us with my mother's recovery from the stroke. She is not quite 100% but she is doing well, playing piano for the church services and teaching her Sunday School class again.
September is here and we look forward to cooler weather, just around the corner. We are in the midst of hurricane season and hope it will be a quiet one. Ernesto brought just a little rain in Jax which is what we need the most right now. School has started for all ages and football season is here - Go Gators! We even have a day off from work to say goodbye to the summer and hello to fall. Hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day holiday!
Speaking of labor, we heard from Josh and the doctor thinks Janelle may have the baby a week later than expected - key word there "may". We are looking forward to this event. I can remember those last few weeks before a baby is born - the anxious waiting for the "right" time to go to the hospital. Of course, all three of our boys came two weeks EARLY! So much for last minute planning (take note Josh)

Thanks for the pictures of Grandma's Party. It is an answer to prayer to actually see her looking so well!
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to give a word of encouragement to Josh & Janelle (especially Janelle):
Hang in there! Enjoy the last few days you two have alone with quiet... it won't happen again for the next 20-25 years! :) So, rest, enjoy time with each other and your family, and cherish the anticipation of the little one the Lord is giving you! We are praying for you.
Love,
Leah (with a hearty "amen" from Stephen)
