Thoughts about 2008
Well, this is it:  the last day of 2007.  I, like many others, have spent time this week thinking about 2007 and how I would like 2008 to be different.  I have been serious about this because I know that only in fulfilling God’s purposes for us do we find true joy.  So, [...]

The Prairie Family Kids are So Silly!

 

After the kids had been playing outside this afternoon, Dan came and got me.  He said, “You’ve got to see this!”  He took me out by the side of the house where I saw what is pictured in this entry:  snowballs on top of extra stepping stones that we had stacked.  Of course, I wondered [...]

Brief Update on Kara’s Foot

Last night I had my first try at bandaging Kara’s foot, and I do think that it is getting better–but, it has a long way to go. The toes were not quite as red as they were the day before, so I think that is a good sign. I am so glad that I can [...]

The Change-It-Everyday-Phase

Ugh–where do I even begin to explain this one?!  Believe it or not, I ended up taking Kara to Denver yesterday for an unexpected appointment related to her surgery–and I had to take ALL FIVE KIDS BY MYSELF!!  Let me back up a few days…..
Earlier this week, Kara’s orange post-op cast just started having a [...]
