Three years ago my little Brandon arrived.  He is total momma’s boy.  Even from birth… I had to have c-section and he clung on to my ribs and didn’t want to let go of me.  He is my cuddly little boy and I don’t want him to grow up.  I wish I could keep him this little forever.   Brandon, my little farmboy I love you!

I also want to share a personal story with you since so many of my friends check out the blog. This week has been a tough one for my family.  My cousin Rodney Jernas has a little girl Maggie who is just a few months older then Brandon.  Well this week has been terrible for them.  They found out she had has cancer.  They are currently at Riley’s and they need prayers.  They did remove a tumor on Friday which was the first bit of good news this week but they are waiting bone marrow tests.  If you would take a moment and go to her site and leave a message in her guestbook I would appreciate it.  They have been getting messages from people all over the country.   And if you pray say alittle prayer for her.  http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/maggiejernas    And here is a photo I took at  Thanksgiving.  (Abby, Maggie’s cuz, Jared her big brother and Maggie who was taking everyone’s food order which was so darn cute)

PS  The other day Rodney wrote an inspirational post.  Here is a section from his journal entry… “I’ll get straight to the point. I want to look back on this some day and be able to say it was meant to be – No Matter the Outcome. That said, if you have a relationship that needs mending – suck it up – make the phone call and get it fixed! I mean right now. Stop reading and start dialing. If you have a family member or friend you need to get things right with – STOP – Do It Now – make the call – FIX IT!” 

We never know what tomorrow will bring keep that in mind.  Spend lots of time with your family and friends!!!!  Give extra hugs to your kids tonight!!  If you are a high school kid tell your mom and dad you love them  (heck, even a text would be nice)  They will appreciate it.

Sorry for the long personal post… I have a ton of editting to do since this weekend was crazy with basketball and bday party I will be posting the OD girls regionals and OD boys basketball senior night very soon.
