Pictures-Weekend Fun

After a fun Christmas parade in town with lotsa sunshine and yummy coffee, we headed to the library for Jase's madrigals to perform.

And they sounded great as always!

A couple former students/madrigals joined in too ;)

And while they performed.....our monkies played under the big huge table.....

Seriously....I can't take them anywhere anymore!!!

Jase and I then took 3 of his students back down to Millikin University for their Christmas Vespers Concert and let me just say......AMAZING!!!! You should seriously check it out sometime.....it was sooooooooooooooo beautiful!!!!! We then hit Avanti's on the way home but it was so busy we decided to do takeout and literally showed everyone what true hungry rednecks do: Buy a tub of Fettucini Alfredo, grab some plastic forks, hop in the back of our van, and dig in.

To which my dear hubby did the same ;) And then we finished up with some yummy Culver's ice cream for dessert.....what a great day!

Today ended up being beautiful too, I woke up feeling like poop on a stick....fighting a cold....debating whether or not to go to church. But I did and was so glad I did.......Pastor preached another AMAZINGLY FANTASICAL sermon I will have to post about later. Came home, ate lunch, my dear hubby cleaned up the kitchen, then let me take a 3 hour nap!!!! Then made us all pancakes for supper...that were oh so yummy....and cleaned up the kitchen AGAIN!

I seriously think I'm gonna keep this guy forever ;)

We did go see Paw-Paw Doc tonite and just wanted to request prayer for him again. The goal was to have him back home by Thanksgiving but that didn't happen. And now it looks like we're looking at long term for nursing home ;( We have alot of mixed feelings.....it's just so hard to have to "help" make these decisions with him. It's so sad......but yet he's getting excellent care where he's at. They told us he is now in end stage kidney failure. We have so much peace about him being where he's at because just thinking about bringing him home when he has gone down hill so much is a scary thing. I don't think any of us could afford to hire around-the-clock care and that's the point he's at now. So please just keep him in your prayers that he would feel the peace that passes all understanding thru this season.

Hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed the sunshine today!!!
