back to blogging

I know, I have been neglecting my blog. I have missed it but I have been so busy with everyday life. The travel volleyball is now officially over. Hoot hoot! I am so happy. We have been traveling every other weekend since Jan. and I am so wore out from it.
Also Jacob has been struggling in school and I have been working with him every night helping him and I also decided to have him tested for ADHD. Which is what he has and we have started some medication. I can already see a difference in him at home and at school. He also has started baseball, so between volleyball practice 2 nights a week and baseball games at least 2 nights a week- you can see I have not had time to think about blogging.
But..... i am back.
WE had terrible storms and at least 12 inches of rain this weekend. Got some things done around the house cause you could not plan any outdoor activities.
Also to update you on the last post I did about Baby Hogan. He lost his battle just 16 days after he was born. He was such a fighter. Bless you Hogan!

Hogan's fight for life

Hogan, my hero

I wanted to share with you this story or blog on this family from my hometown who just had their 3rd child who was born with Trisomy 18. He is such a fighter and his parents are amazing with their faith and prayers to save their precious baby Hogan.
here is the blog address if you want to read their story. http://hogandominy.blogspot.com/

ipad

The new ipad became available on Saturday and it is awesome. Must have one!
Katie's ipod touch had frozen up and we had tried to reset it and it still did not work so the support person online suggested we take it back to the apple store and get them to replace it. So we had to make an appt to take it to the store ( which is in Germantown) There was a long line of people to get in to see or buy the new ipad. So to make a long story short they replaced the ipod touch with a new one and we got to play on the new ipad. SWEET!

Happy Easter....

Hope everyone has a Wonderful Easter. It is a wonderful Spring day here in Mississippi.

Haiti

About 2 weeks ago my husband got the opportunity to go to Haiti to represent his company FedEx. He has been extremely busy with an organization called Heart to Heart International. He helps them with their shipments of supplies (medical and etc) to these disaster areas all over the U.S.and other countries. They invited he and his partner (Karen) that work closely with them to travel with Heart to Heart to see how their help has a tremendous impact on their goal of helping people in need.
Here are some pictures of his trip.
