Hi, Just wanted to let you all know that Seth and I will travel out to Iowa City again next Tuesday, June 17th for his 1st Post Op check up since we left the hospital on May 6. He is doing great and I can't wait for his doctors to see him. They will be very pleased I'm sure. We'll let you know how it went.

I'm not posting much here anymore...

The Ring

Okay guys. Here it is. Isn't it beautiful? The diamonds on both sides go almost all the way around and are all emerald and princess cut. the clarity and color are at the highest rating, and the total carat weight with the matching wedding band (emerald and princess cut diamonds all the way around) is almost 3 carats!!!!! Wow, Wow, wow! Nicholas you are something else. We all love you very much.

I have started a new blog

Hi, I'm back

Hi everyone. I have had the hardest time trying to post on my own blog. I kept getting some bogus message that my email address wasn't valid and neither was my password. I really don't know what the deal was. I am trying now from work and it obviously is working fine.
I wanted to give you an update on Seth and our lives.
Seth is doing better than anyone ever thought, (at this point) (it's truly answered prayer). His body is operating at a point the drs. hoped for in 6 months. He feels great (get tired more easily than before his two surgeries). He is going to school everyday. He is in finals now. Please pray for him. He has missed a lot of school this semester, I think about 8-9 weeks all together. He gets an A+ in my book for effort. He has worked very hard to try and keep up. Anyway he is in finals today (Tues., Honors Chemistry) and tomorrow (Wednesday will be 20th Century History and Bible verse test). He will have to make up the Math final and Spanish later. He plans to do the Math final next week. He will be tutored for missing the semester of Spanish over the next three weeks. His teacher says he will have a lot of work but should be able to cover the entire month is three weeks. She, Mrs. Doades will come to the house 3 days a week for 1 hour, for 3 weeks and it's done! Amazing! At that point Seth will officially be a Junior at PCS. Wow.
I realized the other day that he will be 18 in 1 year, 4 months and 14 days! How could this have happened???? Everyone always says, "they grow up sooo fast". I used to just smile and agree. Really thinking, yeah right we have 4 games this week, an athletic banquet and spring concert, and 40 loads of laundry to do. I don't think it happens that quickly." Well it seriously does. I love them at every age. Nick is 27, Noah 25 and Seth quickly approaching 18. Now I am having these yearnings to adopt from China and my husband is doing everything in his power to discourage THAT. He says, just wait we'll have grandchildren soon. That is a whole other emotion thing I have stirring inside me!
OK, so all of that just to say, we are doing GREAT!
I do want to add that we have the best, most wonderful, most generous friends in the entire world. We have had soooo many delicious meals prepared for us over the course of the past 6 months. These people have been "Jesus in the flesh" to us. We love you all VERY much. We have prayed for each of you individually and asked a special blessing be poured upon you. I want recipes from all of you!
Until next time. Have a great week and holiday weekend.
Love, Vickie and Family

Hi, we (I) had a great Mother's Day. It started with coffee this morning and ended with dinner tonight at home with Jeff, Seth, Nick and Aubrey and my friend Carla. Noah had to leave early to run the sound system for College and Career Church (every Sunday night). we miss him, but he got to come over today around 1 (right after church) and stayed until 4:30 and then Nick and Aubrey came at about 4:35. they just missed each other. Jeff parents, brothers and wives and all but one nephew (that lives locally we have a nephew in FL.) came along with my sis, Mary. It was a full house and a lot of fun. I was blessed. Here is a picture taken just before Noah had to leave today. Hope your day was great too. Love, Vickie

Seth before his went on his first "day out" after surgery!!!!! Yeahhh!!!
