Erin's brain tumor, please pray!!

My brother and sister-in-law got the worse news of their life this past week! She had a seizure at work and was taken to the hospital in Spartanburg, SC. They did a CT scan and saw a smaller mass and thought it would be a simple removal of a mass on the outside of her brain. They then did a MRI to see exactly where this mass was. They found out that the mass is a cyst, but deeper with in her brain is a large tumor covering her entire left frontal lobe, left temporal lobe, and part of the right frontal lobe! Please pray for them! Erin is 30 yrs old and they have been married for almost 8 years! They have one of the cutest little 6yr old boy I know, Caleb. :) (I'm kind of partial to him:) )

Below is a website that my brother and I made to help raise support, financially and prayerfully! Erin is going to be laid off from her job as of August 17th, and Kyle is going to have to take a leave from his job without pay for a while to help take care of Erin. They are trying to get to Duke University Hospital for treatment. Please pray! Please check out the website and if anything pray for them and pass the website along. Erin has no insurance and was told by the brain surgeon that without insurance treatment is going to be astronomical and hard! We know that God can make a way even when there seems to be no way! Thank you all for your prayer for our family!!

Summer 2012!!

 Well we started off our summer with some very exciting news!!! On May 23 we found out that we would be having a new addition!!! Our "Junior" (what the girls want to call the baby) is due January 25th, 2013!! We should find out in September if this precious baby will be a "Jr" (we don't have a boys name picked out yet) or a Lillian Michelle (we will call her Lily). We can't wait to hold this baby in our arms! God has truly blessed us!

 We had a lot of Birthdays this summer!! Here is Emma and Mady at Emma's 5th birthday!!

 The girls enjoyed playing on the deck in their kiddy pool.....and water mellon too! : )

 We went to Lake Bensons firework show! It was hot but lots of fun memories were made!

 Here is Leah at her 6th birthday! My babies are growing up too fast!

 Sweet Mady cakes! I love her grinch smile. : )

 Mady at the fireworks in Garner, we brought our pillows and blanket to chill on while we waited for it to get dark.

 We took a couple trips to Pullen park. The girls loved the boat ride!

 They love spending a few days with their Mimi and Pop pop!! The water slide is perfect for a hot day!
They also spent a couple days with their Grandma and Grandpa.......they are so loved and spoiled by their Grandparents! Tim and I are so thankful for such wonderful, godly, and loving grandparents that our girls have! It truly is a blessing.

 Here's Emma at Lake Benson.

 We celebrated Daddy's Birthday!! He turned 34 this year! I remember celebrating his 25th birthday!! Time certainly has gone by quickly! So thankful for this man and the 9 years that I've known him. : )

 I celebrated my 29th birthday this year! For my birthday we went to the beach!! I LOVED it and so did the girls. :) It's funny but all I could think about on my birthday, was that in one year I turn 30!! lol....I have no idea why that number scares me so much! 30 is so young!!! Right?!?!? ;)

  Well the dog daze of summer are almost over for us, and I think we are ready for the fall! My favorite time of year! The picture below is our "new" school room for this year. We will start school next Tuesday July 24!! We are starting early so that we can take some time off when the baby is born and still finish school in May. : ) Leah will be starting  First Grade and Emma will be starting Kindergarten! Can't believe they are both old enough for school!! I have no idea what I'm going to do with Mady!! I will have to give her some school work too! She has to do whatever her sisters do!

 Ready or not school year 2012/2013 here we come!!!
