Weekend

We've had a semi-normal weekend for the first time in awhile. Ray didn't have to go to Chattanooga, so we were able to get some things done on Saturday around the house. Daniel cut the lawn by himself for the first time, hills and all. The girls vacuumed, dusted, cleaned bathrooms, etc. Nice to get things cleaned. I did grocery shopping and some washing. Ray spent a lot of time cleaning in the basement. I've been going through boxes from the basement this past week. Found all sorts of things.

We enjoyed church today as a family. So nice to have a church home now. We love our Sunday School class. Many couples just like us with teenagers. Amazingly enough, we run into people every Sunday from our old church. We never realized just how many people left until we left.

We are headed to Chattanooga tomorrow to check on his mom.

Quiet Evening

We've just had much needed rain here in Canton! The storm cleared out and the kids went to the pool. Elizabeth is babysitting. So, it is quiet around here!

Typical Saturday

Well, we are so glad to have Ray home this weekend. We all missed him. He and Daniel are out cutting the lawn, trimming bushes and just sweatin' up a storm. I'm washing clothes and the girls - sleeping!!!! We will all head to Chattanooga tomorrow to check on Mrs. Massengale. She will be moved to a physical therapy rehab facility for a couple of weeks. Please keep her in your prayers - she's still having some issues.

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July. We went out to eat as a family with good friends and then went to watch the Canton fireworks.

Quiet Evening

We are having a quiet evening at the Massengale's. Daniel's watching Jon and Kate + 8 with me . . . for lack of nothing better to do, MM is in her room, probably texting and Elizabeth walked over to Ashley's to watch a movie. Ray is still in Chattanooga at hospital with his mom. She's been moved to the cardiac unit at the hospital. We've had a lazy day as a whole. Please keep Mamaw in your prayers.

Saturday at our house!

Everyone's up doing their thing - I'm washing clothes, elizabeth's cleaning the kitchen, daniel's at a b'day party, and i imagine mary-margaret's on myspace :). speaking of myspace - love the new commercial - "Think before you post!" that is a wonderful message to people of all ages!!!!
Ray's still at hospital with his mom. Well - need to go do another load!

House Painting Done!

The painters finished late Wednesday. Hopefully you can tell about the colors from the pics -

Ray's mother was put back in the hospital last night. She had a stroke and will more than likely be hospitalized for quite some time. Please keep all of them in your prayers.

Haven't done a lot around here as Ray and I didn't get home until after 1:00 a.m. Daniel woke up with fever, sore throat and sick to his stomach. He had that yucky "strep" smell, so I loaded him up and went to urgent care - they give shots!!!! He got two bigs one - his bottom is sore, but he's slowly coming back! Better than slowly taking the meds by mouth for 10 days! I came home and took a long nap!!! Then, took Elizabeth to BJ's to get the third Stephanie Meyer book - she's hooked!!! Mary-Margaret and I didn't make it to Curves today - guess we'll hit it in the morning! Ray's staying in Chattanooga tonight - his dad really needs him.

PAINTING THE HOUSE!!!!

Well, after almost 6 years in our house, it's time to paint ! Brad Rickard and his gang came out early this morning and have been working like gang busters since. I'll include some pics from the whole ordeal. It's already looking great!!! Here are the before pics . . . stay tuned!!!
