Happy Birthday to me and Shad!

One of the first things we noticed about Shad's picture was his birthdate below it...it seemed like a sign:)   so now I have a boy to share my birthday with....

Today was a Clanton crazy day...Jon's van broke down on the way to work, just stopped working and he had to coast off to the side of the road.  No other problems, it went from normal to stopped.... Since he didn't have his cell with him, he walked to the prison, it wasn't too far, maybe a mile or so.  He was a little late so no one stopped to pick him up.  I guess they would have thought it odd to see the chaplain walking down the highway!  LOL  when he called me he told me the gas light had come on.  So I told him that maybe he'd ran out of gas LOL  but that wasn't it. 

Finally got it towed, thanks to one of his volunteers for taking him back to the van and staying with him until the tow truck came!  Bet he will remember his cell from now on LOL!

He ended up with the day just about shot after everything ....so he came with us to pick Shad up early from school for a late lunch.  Shad took cookies to school this morning and was happy:)  Shad opened his presents at lunch. 



Look at Steve...he wants a present too LOL





   

 

 

 

Look at Sarah drinking from the straw!!!!!!  YEAH!!!!!

 

Sam loves the soup.  The staff came up and sang to us and Sam loved that too:) 

 

Then we came home and I took a NAP!!!!  A real face drooling NAP!  It was good!

Happy Birthday to me:)

 

Jon went and got us a cake...

 

 

Steve put on the candles......only 8 but they were trick candles...

 

So we've had a nice day.  I wouldn't trade this day for anything, being with my family is the best thing ever!

 

SO if you want to really wish me and Shad a Happy Birthday...please consider giving to our orphans of the month.  The two little blind twins from India that Amanda and Chet are adopting.  To give, send a check to Grace Church, mark it Orphan ministry. 7060 Berry Road Zephyrhills Fl 33540......we only have had $200 come in so far and I'd love to give them at least $600 to help them out!!!!  That would make us HAPPY!!!!

 

 

 

Selah has had a very alert day and tolerated being in her stander for an hour!  Her nurses are happy with her alertness.  She still isn't pooping like we'd like for her to do.  So thanks for all your prayers for Selah and don't forget to pray for her poop:)    I'm pretty real on here! She is pooping a little but we don't want her tummy to get upset or dependent on any meds!  We are giving her prune juice in her gtube (per the doc) and it does help.
