Hi Everyone,

So sorry it has been a few weeks since I posted anything. Mom and I went to Chicago the day after Easter and returned home on the 16th... hoping not to return for a while. But, it is with deep sadness that I write here on our blog, that my dad's brother, Joe, passed away on Sunday, April 19, 2009. He was 86 and loved by all who knew him.

Thankfully, Mom and I spent Tuesday, April 14th with my Uncle Joe and I'll treasure the time we had always. I never would have guessed it would turn out to be the last time I ever saw him.

I took some pictures and will post them next time I update the blog, but in the meantime, keep his family in your prayers and mine, too.

If you knew my Uncle Joe, you'd understand the loss. He was a wonderful man who adored his family and always, always tried to let them know how much. We'll miss you, Uncle Joe.

Love,
Marie

Happy Easter

Hi Everyone,
Well, we are heading into week 11 of my pregnancy and I'm feeling okay. I've been to the doctor three times since I found out and the baby is doing great. It seems (and we hope it stays that way) to be very uneventful this time. Thank God!

I have an appointment with a high risk specialist tomorrow as a precaution. My Ob just wants to be sure things are okay this time around. So far, so good!

Other than being tired, I'm doing good. Last week, my mom was in the hospital but fortunately she's doing much better. We're very blessed!

We hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Easter. Keep us in your prayers.
Love,
Marie
