A Day With Debbie

A very Happy Birthday to Madalyn today...complete with a "surprise party" at Papa Rollos, lots of fun presents, a cookie cake, gift cards to do lots of shopping with and a sleep over at Mas with cousin Kaitlyn!

7 fun things about Madalyn.......

#1--our brown eyed girl

#2-- that beautiful smile

#3-- her hugs

#4--her kisses

#5--her giggles

#6--her tender heart

#7--her love for her sisters

We took Madalyn to Dallas today for her birthday present---The "American Girl" store at the Galleria mall. She decided upon a "Look Like Me" doll with brown eyes and brown hair...she had to have several outfits for her new baby and a house for her puppy, Coconut also! The new babies name is Maddie. Ma and G-daddy had so much fun watching Madalyn as she carefully picked out her baby and things to go along with the baby.Madalyn looked so pretty, all dressed up in her new dress she had got for Sophies Baby Dedication a few weeks ago, she was such a sweet princess for the day! After we finished up at the store we went to Arlington and met Cam for lunch then on to Kopperl to watch Kaitlyn play her last BB game this year. They won too! We had such a fun special day celebrating with Madalyn! Madalyn will turn 7 on March 1 and her mommy and daddy are planning a big surprise party for her at Pappa Rollos...
We are thinking that maybe one day Spring break we will go back to the "American Girl "store and let Loraly pick out a new baby and eat lunch at the Bistro....

Happy Valentines Day

On Monday Whit came to play with Loraly--
I listened as they were talking to each other..
Whit, "is your name Worawhy?"
Loraly, "no, it is Louly"
Whit, "oh, hi, Louly..."

Today our Church had a Baby Dedication for all the new babies born this year, a special prayer and dedication was said for the babies and their families, the moms all recieved flowers, and a sweet video played of the babies and their families..thank you Lindsay for including your dad and I in yours, it really meant a lot to both of us!
We wanted some pics of the actual event but our camera did not cooperate, so we went after lunch to the Arboretum and took a few...

Well, after a day of more celebrating Paul, I recieved my penny from heaven, at "On the Border"--actually Mike noticed it before me, under a bench while waiting on a table....but I bent down and thought immediatley of Paul...thank you Paul for teaching us all about how to fully live life!

We were privaledged to be asked today to go along with the Saxons and some of their sweet friends to the cemetary where Paul is buried and pay our respects today. What a beautiful family legacy there, a farm right behind the cemetary where Terrills father grew up and a church/school house where he also attended growing up. We left some cookies with the #24 and race flags on them at Pauls gravesite...

On the way home from Pauls celebration last night....

"If Paul was not in heaven, he would of had fun today at Celebration Day (at school) and his party tonight."

Grandchildren are the crown of the aged.
And the glory of children is their father.

Proverbs 17:6

We just got home from Leigh and Terrills---we had a birthday party for Paul---first we all met at Fuddruckers,one of his favorite places to eat, then to the Saxons house, complete with his favorite things..."Nacho Libre", Uno, a Jimmy Johnson cake that he had asked for last year, skittles, sour patch kids, Dr.Pepper, and Madalyn of course!
It was nice getting to visit with some of the Saxons special friends, Miss Jenn and her sweet family, Eric and Darrell and his daughter Gabriella...

Paul, I really miss you, I miss your sweet bald head and that smile! I know that if given the chance you would rather stay there in heaven than come back here cause there is no comparison! Buddy, we sure miss you! I looked and looked today everytime we went places for a penny but never found one, so maybe you might throw one out my way tomorrow! I love those pennies from heaven.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL

Mike passed the stress test with flying colors, now we go back to our family doc next Tues to see what is next---

Seems as if we get little Sophie almost well---then poor Loraly gets sick---Lindsay is just so worn out from the remodel fo her house and now the girls being sick....
Then.....last night Mike informs me he is having some chest discomfort----dizzy----arm tinglings! Yikes!!!!
We left for Providence Hosp at Sunday--11PM, did not get back home till 10:30 this morning...ran EKG, blood tests for enzymes, nitro on his chest and a pain shot for his discomfort----so, tomorrow we go back to Providence for a stress test---
We both slept for about 4hrs this afternoon, still exhausted...
I will update tomorrow when we will know a little more, hopefully.

HAPPY NEW YEARS

Sophie has been battling a bad cold and congestion for some time now...she finally ended up in Hillcrest on Saturday diagnosed with the dreaded RSV...she is feeling better now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET KAITLYN...12 yrs old!!!! Woo Hoo...a teenager next year!
We sure had a fun day celebrating with Kaitlyn, Taco Bell, one of her favs for lunch then Texas Roadhouse that night for dinner! Then, the next day, we all met up at SixFlags, Holiday in the Park for a fun day of rides! Too bad it was cold and crowded but was still fun! Then afterwards we all went to Crystals for pizza and games!
