Jonathan's Birthday

So much for using the blog as a scrapbook! As behind as ever! Too much to capture, yet wanting to become more disciplined in keeping up with our family life. My time in SC at the end of August was good. Really good. I even remembered the camera. Oh yeah. I forgot the battery. Fortunately Papa is getting into on-line scrapbooks. So, I'll have to figure out if those can be loaded here.

That wrapped up August. September has been a blur. The first Sunday in September, Lolo had a stroke and was in the hospital that week. Came home and fell that weekend, only to be rehospitalized and given a pacemaker on Sunday of week two. After coming home from the hospital later that week, Lola became ill. Went into emergency and ended up with her own pacemaker on the 3rd Sunday of September. Wow. We are in an interesting season of life. We are thankful they are both feeling and doing better.

Jonathan then celebrated his 9th birthday on September 21! I can't believe this little guy isn't so little. He brings so much enthusiasm and laughter to our home. What a thoughtful young man, especially in regard to his Mama. He almost has something wrapped in a piece of napkin, shoved in the depths of his pockets that is pulled out for me - "something I saved for you, Mama." How can I resist?

Here's a few picture of his special day:
