Our Brave Boy

 

Our little Merrick went to the hospital last week to have a scoping procedure done. They’re trying to figure out why he has so many tummyaches.

He woke up after and did a little video to tell his daddy that he was ok and he was shaking from the anesthesia. That was very hard to watch.

Prayers please for our sweet, sweet boy.

We love you so much honey.

 

 

*Note* They didn’t find anything of concern from Merrick’s procedure–which is wonderful. But it doesn’t solve the mystery of the tummyaches. Darn it. 

In Case You’re New Here

Family mine

Hi- I’m Launi. I’m a mom of 5–three lovely girls and two handsome fellows. I also have three wonderful son-in-laws, two incredible daughter-in-laws and thirteen practically perfect grandkids. All these awesome folks have families of their own and yet still, we find being together through much of what we do these days…just suites us.

And for me being surrounded by the things I love most– is Heaven in every way.

A few more things I adore…

Rainy days, autumn leaves, kids books, pretty chicken coops, vintage photographs, crochet hooks, old-old houses, sappy movies…

Cheetoes, purple, new fabric, fairies, laughing till my face hurts, stone fences, Scottish accents, cats, homemade slippers, porches, Hello Kitty, periwinkle, soft, squishy yarn…

and ok…I’ll admit it—

Thor.

I’m in love with him.

On the other hand…here are a few things I can absolutely live without~

Thorny weeds, sharks, coconut, spiders, alligators, eggplant, stingrays, aliens, snakes,  pessimism, mean people, and anything in the larva phase.

That’s pretty much it….the rest of you…

can stay.

Rhen & mom

Welcome- welcome. I do hope you’ll join me~ I love having you here!

Things I’m Loving…

right this minute.

When my windows look just like this.

Having hot dogs and “hobo buns” for lunch.

A very polite kitty that asks kindly–with his dirty little paw–if I will please pet him.

Prettying up the porch with pink flowers.

French onion dip and stick pretzels.

Getting this hard but really beautiful puzzle done ahead of schedule.

Switching my house lights from pink to red, white and blue…with my PHONE! Eeeek!! Hee, hee!

 

Having all my oils right where I want them, labled and in alphabetical order too.

A little kitty that doesn’t ask for anything…except to be close.

 

Anytime the street looks just like this.

 

 

Another Life and Time

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel back in time–back to the Bible days? What would it be like to there long enough to get a good, solid feel for it, wearing the clothes, mingling with the people, and seeing the ancient sites all around you…

but still be able to sleep in your own cozy, warm bed when the day is done?

Well, I know a few people–who know exactly what it feels like.

Because they were right there…and…

“It feels incredible!”

 

 

 

Toothless

This moment…

A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our lives. A simple, special, memorable moment.

A moment I want to pause, savor and keep close to my heart.

Happy weekend everyone.
