Random Updates

Happy Friday everyone. I'm not doing a Five on Friday because, quite honestly, my brain can not come up with a list at the moment. Today is my hubby's day off and he and I are going out for a breakfast date! How exciting. Just don't tell our son -- he will not be happy to find out that mom and dad went anywhere or have any type of life while he is in school. I better make sure I don't smell like pancakes and syrup when I pick him up later today.

Other than that, we are seeing some progress on our house sale. For any of you counting with us, our Florida home has been on the market for almost 17 months. The bank considered the offer from the buyer, but did not accept it. The bank came back to them with a price almost $40,000 higher. You would think at this point the banks would just take the offer and not risk losing the only potential buyer we have. So, there is still some back and forth going on, but we are still trusting that God can and will work this all out.

Little guy loves his new school. I can't even begin to tell you how traumatic it was to have him start a new school at the end of April. Without going into too much detail, I am just sad that the two Christian preschools Chris attended (one here and one in Florida) were not "set up" to handle children who did not fit into their "box". That's all I'll say about that. But, God knows all things and has worked it out. He is now in a very loving and nurturing environment (in a public school - gasp!!) and we see God continuing to work in his little life. I'm thrilled to report that his speech therapist said that he has mastered most of the goals that were set for him in November and now is moving on to some areas that need a little assistance. Thank the Lord for that!!

On a personal front, Domingo is now back at the rehab center in South Jersey. We thank God that he was well enough to return there. Please, please continue to pray for him. As you can imagine, this whole ordeal is frustrating for him (he can not speak yet) and we just want to ensure that he has a strong will and desire to continue battling this situation. He is a mighty man of God and we just would so appreciate your continued prayers.

Well, I must get ready for my date with hubby. Have a blessed weekend everyone!!
