Asking for prayers...

Lance and I have some dear friends Marcus and Courtney, who have a precious 8 month old son named Cal. We are asking our friends and family who know and don't know Marcus, Courtney and Cal to send up some prayers for healing. Cal has been having seizures and has been going through a battery of test and biopsies to try and figure out what is going on inside his sweet little body. A friend of Courtney's has set up a blog to update people as we get information on Cal.

Please feel free to check out the blog, leave a note of encouragement, and /or send up a prayer for this precious baby and his family.

Thanks-

Katharine

James 1:1-12

To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations:
Greetings.

Trials and Temptations

²Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, ³because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. ⁴Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ⁵If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. ⁶But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; ⁸he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

⁹The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. ¹⁰But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. ¹¹For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.

¹²Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

SOME PICTURES I JUST HAD TO SHARE

These were the Canadian goslings that were born earlier this year on the pond near our house.

This is Cade sporting his Boston Red Soxs hat with his mommy watching the geese and their babies.

But this is my favorite and just precious.... we went to eat lunch and Cade decided he needed to share my coke.  Yes he was drinking from his own straw and me from mine.  However, I did have to fill my cup several times since he thought I was drinking "his" coke.  Gee nice of him to share.    I love the pic though so I thought I would share.  He is so stinkin' cute!!

Vacation Summer 2009

These are a few of our 100's of pictures from our trip to Washington DC.  We had a great time and enjoyed a lot of the cities history.  To bad we did not have longer to explore more of the city and the history.  But it was fun anyway...

Changing of the guard at the "Tomb of the Unknown".

Some of the pictures from the Natural History Museum (part of the Smithsonian).

Lance and Oscar.... he may have been a little grouchy during the trip.

Seinfeld's Puffy Shirt... one for the Nezworski clan

The Lincoln Memorial was Lance's favorite along with Arlington National Cemetery.

What a weekend we had.....

Lance and I were in our friends Zeb and Amanda's wedding the last weekend in June.  We have never been to a wedding where the party lasted for a good time.  Although the reception lasted from 3:30 to midnight we all had a great time.  We enjoyed a traditional chezc feast which included all the following homemade foods: fried chicken, sausage, sourkraut, green beans, scalloped potatoes, and pasteries.  The food was delicious.... I think Lance and I have decided we are not huge fans of sourkraut but we did give it a good try.

Just A Quick Update

We have had quite a bit going on lately and I do not have pictures for everything but I will post some of what I have....

1.  Congrats to my cousin Michelle she delivered another great-grandchild for our grandparents.  A precious baby boy named Grayson ~ and he is really really good.  Not to mention Shell is taking to the mommy thing like a champ.

2. This is what my mother wanted to do for mother's day.  So we took her to "bungee jump" as she referred to it and then took her to Rosa's for lunch (where she wanted to go).  Overall it was a great day and my mom managed to do 2 flips.  She was thrilled she had us all home.

3.  The Fort Worth Zoo came to visit our kids at the development center it was lots of fun

These were my FAVORITE animals they brought.... the penguins!!!  We even got to hear them talk and see how they said hey to each other.... it was GREAT!!!!!!

We had other animals like the blue and gold macaw, a baby alligator, an opossum, a skink, snake, and and a humongous dog just to name a few.  The kids LOVED it!!! (so did I)

4.  We have several friends that are due soon with their first babies and we are so excited for all of them.  Not to mention that we can't wait to meet all the babies.

5. My cousin Monica has taught me to make several great baby gifts from scratch.  Thanks lady they are working out GREAT!!

These are just a few of our latest happenings, and SETH just for your information our grass is actually GREEN ~ Lance has been working hard to green it up but we did add the landscaping in March when the grass is still dormant.  Just so you know (ha ha ha).  Only one more week of school this year and then I will post more information.
