St. Louis

Saturday the Bible Class took a bus up to Saint Louis and went to the City Museum and Union Station. It was a lot of fun and I'm soo glad I went. The trip there and back was fun, but I LOVED the City Museum!! They have a 3 story jungle gym, and bunch of other stuff too, but mostly what I did was go in the caves. It was pitch black in most of them and you could hardley fit thru the tunnels half the time. There were 3 story slides, a skateless skatepark, and too many other things to list. There's a lot inside, but there's also some outside. I'll have to post pictures so you can see. :) All the stuff is made out of 100% recylced material, and it's so artistic lookin'. I would go back in a heartbeat! (Jenna & I decided we should go there with all the Schicks and take a bus down, too. )

We went to Union Station for a while after the museum, which was neat, but not near as fun. We headed back pretty early and stopped at Monicals in Springfield for supper.

Hopefully, I'll post pictures of it one of these days...(I know, I know... I always say that!)

Update on Grandma

Most of you who read my blog, you're family, so you probably know about what's up with Grandma... but just in case someone else reads this, this is what is new:

Wow, a lot has happened since then. She had surgery for her stomach cancer on Monday the 23rd of June to remove part of her stomach and some lymph nodes. They ended up having to take out more of her stomach than was planned. They also had to take out her spleen and quite a bit of tissue from her abdominal cavity. (haha, sorry Heidi) Besides a lot of pain at first, she was doing fairly well. But the next Sunday she got pneumonia and a staff & strep infection in her blood. She was really not doing well for a while, and everything was just kinda up and down for a couple weeks, but has just now started to really pop back. She was in ICU for 3 weeks, and finally got to move out just this past Tuesday. She was able to eat a little yesterday without getting sick like before. Hopefully she will get to go home in a couple weeks. I'm sure she'd still appreciate your prayers.

But things were kind of crazy around here, and are finally calming down a little. I haven't been the "mom" as much lately as I was at first. But a BIG THANK YOU to whoever reads this, and brought us food. It helped us out tremendously! And I didn't have to cook!! :)

New Look

So, I'm experiementing with new backgrounds. I found a new amazing sight with free templetes!

Or maybe all of you already knew about it.

Anywho, don't be surprised if my background gets changed frequently... I'm lookin' for one I really like. :)
