A hectic day

Wednesday Caleb came home with dirareea, no big deal right? That's what I thought until all I saw was mucus and blood. I must say I freaked out!! We rushed him to the hospital, and they did exrays blood and stool samples, and after tramatizing the poor little boy, and scaring us , they decided to admit him. After getting Caleb set up in his room, David took Emily and Matthew home. Matt and Emily DID NOT want to go home with out mommy, and Caleb did not want mommy OR daddy to leave him. He's a momma's boy, and wanted his mommy beside him.
All that night I sat beside him worrying, praying, and worrying some more. "Would my precious little boy who had just seen his 7 th birthday be all right? I might ad, I had brought a quilt to quilt so I wouldn't go nuts just sitting beside of him, and as much as them "Pesky" nurses came in and out, who COULD go to sleep?! I was glad, Caleb slept good all night long, inspite of the nurses. (I don't know how he did it!)
By yesterday morning, it was no longer blood, but very runny stool. Our doctor came in, and said the ex-rays and things looked normal. That they were thinking a bacteral infection in the colon. She said if there was no more blood she would release him that night. Thanksfully there was no more blood the rest of the day, and he got released.
Now we are back home. The boys were all snuggled against each other last night, and it seems like everything is back to normal! I sure hope so, any way! I can't stand to see any of my babies sick or hurting!

Quilts,Quilts, Quilts!!

Finally I got this King size 'Lonestar" quilt finished!! It took 40 some hours to complete. I got very calloused fingers out of the deal, but I love doing it!! It is so rewarding when you finish the quilt take it out of the stand, and see the finished product. I must say, it turned out beautiful!! I'm so pleased because my stitching is getting prettier and prettier. My minonite friend showed me a way to keep it more even, and I've been having fun trying the new technique. I've seen some beautiful quilts with just pin-point stitching, and I'm working on making mine look that good!!
Now I'm feverishly working on 15 baby quilts to have done before our Fall Festival, here in Albany. The ladies at the store want atleast 15 to have hanging at their store when the Fall fest is going on! It's the third week of October, and I have just completed the fourth one! I should be able to go a little faster, now that I have that 'Lone Star' completed!!

Caleb is 7!

It is so hard to believe that Caleb is seven!! It seems just like yesterday, that I was holding my precious bundle of joy. I was a proud momma, Caleb was born on Sept. 5, 2000. He only weighed 7lbs 8 oz, and was 19 inches long!! Believe you me, I thought that was TINY!! Matthew weighed over a pound more, and was 3 and 1/2 inches longer! I'm so glad God gave me two handsome healthy little boys!!
We had a little party after church for him. He wanted a cake with a John Deere tractor working in the dirt, and some cows too. So, ofcourse I complied. I made a "dirt" cake, and it was the hit of the party! We had two little girls over that think, my boys are going to marry them some day!! (Ha!Ha!!!!!) Also the Tarter, and Joseph, Mabel and Lora. Don't let me fail to mention, Lora is like my adopted daughter. It was her b-day too, only she turned 16.

Me and My man!

My cuties

My boys were having a blast sitting and listening to their Uncles, and daddy play like they were FBI's solving a murder case. Those guy are sooo silly! We tried videoing them, but they couldn't keep straight faces on the camera.
