Visiting Grandpa B.

Thanks to all of you who have been asking about and praying for my dad. As you can see, he is doing better each day. He has been walking regularly and should be able to walk a mile a month after his surgery. I tell him how amazed I am that he is doing so well this soon after having his heart worked on. They say it will take him six weeks before he can get back to his normal schedule and up to a year before he will really start to notice a difference. Seems like a long time, but it's been worth it already. Abby has been good therapy for her Granddaddy:)

Love this time of year.

Fall in Connecticut.

Happiness

My dad came home from the hospital today and he is doing very well. He is so glad to be finally be home and boy are we glad too!

We went to a wedding yesterday, all three of us. Great reason to wear another pretty dress.

Baby Ryland

Our friends Chad and Kelly had their baby, Ryland David, last month. What a pumpkin!























































Abby has already become quite the nurturer. She says, "there there Ryland, don't cry."

It's another girl!!!

YAY! My sister is having a girl:)

another update

I was able to visit my dad today and he is definitely doing better each day. There is no longer any fluid in his lungs. He still has an infection, which they are watching very closely. He is moving around more and continuing physical therapy. After listening to his heart, the doctor said it was in excellent condition! The amount of pain he's been in has decreased significantly and he is really ready to go home. The doctors say Friday, but aren't making any promises. Please pray for the Lord to bring him comfort and peace as he endures these next few days in the hospital. Also, for wonderful healing, so he can go home on Friday. Thanks again, to all of you who are faithfully praying. We can see God at work, it's been amazing.
