When life doesn't make "sense"

When life doesn't make "sense" is the third part of some sermons our pastor,

Chip Ingram is currently doing.

If you are suffering, have gone through some tough stuff or are going through some really tough circumstances in your life these sermons are just SO encouraging.

They are up on the Venture website right now:)

I hope they encourage you as much as they have encouraged us,

sometimes life just doesn't make "sense".

Surgery Update

Dylan's adenoid removal went GREAT!

God answered our prayers in many ways.

Thank you so much your prayers!

Waking up from the anesthesia went really well.

A funny thing that happened...

he asked to view his adenoids so the nurse went searching for them.

They were unable to display them for Dylan because of all the parts...yuck...which is okay with mom, but he was a little disappointed...too cute...

In any case, the surgery was a success.

The doctor said his adenoids were HUGE almost a four

(a four is when your airways are shut by the adenoids).

We are so thankful they are no longer going to cause Dylan problems.

We see a HUGE difference just this weekend and he is a little swollen still.

Dylan keeps saying to me,

"i can breathe through my nose now".

So cool.

YEAH.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Taryn and Nolan with a little boy/girl dress up.  Taryn and Nolan both got dress up this year, especially Nolan due to the family seeing him head to toe in ballet and girly dress up.

 So thankful for this wonderful Christmas holiday to reflect on Jesus's birth and what is most important.

Hope your Christmas was extra special this year.
