Happy birthday!

In the midst of the mayhem (and boy, has it ever been!), we are pausing to say Happy Birthday to my hubby/our Daddy-O...

 ...so hard-working, quiet, caring, teaches our babes with patience and love...

 

...he deserves so much and doesn't ask for anything.

Happy birthday, Curt!

Hubby vs. The Roof

Did you know that we have an amazing God?


For those who don't know, Curt fell off a porch roof yesterday afternoon while at work, resulting in a trip to the ER, EKG's, x-rays, IV, etc. While at first the doctors thought he broke a rib (due to the pain Curt had when breathing), they were actually fine. He didn't even have any head, neck, or back injuries. Not even bruising! He did, however, dislocate and break his left wrist.





Again, he fell off a roof and walked away with a broken wrist.



I don't know what you think, but that could only be God. There happened to be a dirt pile at the bottom of this roof, and Curt happened to land in that pile instead of the ground or the cement. While he did end up with a face, ears, and mouth full of dirt...and a sensitive reaction to the opiates and other drugs they put in his IV (mental note: drugs in Hubby=vomiting)...and saying some funny stuff to us while come out of the conscious sedation...I'm pretty sure he'll take all that instead of what could have happened!



So, please join us in praying for Curt's wrist surgery that is scheduled for today at 5pm. Pray that no trauma patients show up (which would bump his surgery back to tonight or tomorrow). Pray that he doesn't react to the meds like he did last night in the hospital. And pray that this surgery will fix everything and give a positive prognosis for him. If you know us, you know that we don't sit still very long - we run, bike, swim, hit baseballs in the yard with our kids almost every night, ride a motorcycle...and it will probably be difficult to do all that for a little while. :(



Thank you!

Happy Birthday Curt!

Well, we survived the half marathon and are mostly back to normal, with no wobbly walking! ;o) My time: 2 hours, 6 minutes. (Not my best, but I'll still take it.) HUBBY'S TIME: 1 hour, 51 minutes! And it was his first half marathon! I am SO SO proud of him!




Enough of that, though...


because today we celebrate Hubby's 31st birthday!


Happy birthday, Curt!




It's been quite the year, and I've seen you endure a lot, both together with me and on your own. You are a man of God, blessed with wonderful talents and skills, and loved by many.




Enjoy your special day! We love you!

Happy Birthday, Curt!

Today is my hubby's 28th birthday! Happy Birthday to him! :o)


We were just talking last night about a person who is around 20 years old, and the comment came out of my mouth, "He's around 20 or so, not much younger than us." Then it hit us: we are both much closer to 30 than we thought! What in the world are we talking about, "not much younger than us"??? And where in the world did the years in-between 20 and 30 go? Oh, boy...

At any rate, Danae and I will be taking the Birthday Boy out to dinner and then have some cake at home. Our little Peanut wished her Daddy-O a happy birthday (very clearly, I might add) on the phone while he was at work this morning. So, now that she knows it's Daddy's special day, she's been talking about it a lot...reminding me when I made the cake, when I mention his name, etc. She's my little helper all right!

So, again, Happy Birthday, Curt, and many more!
