There and back again

Well it seemed like yesterday that I posted a blog but it has been nearly a month. I better catch up. Julie had surgery on Tues. the 22nd and all went well. She is a little sore but soon will be 100 % . Keep her in your prayers. Chelsae attended cheer leading competition but they never placed even though they did very good in their performance. Shawnae cut all of our hair during spring break, even Chris and Hannah's family. Grandma does not know what she is missing. Chris is playing city league basketball and they are in the tournament now and could do very well. Our little "Philly" family have the crud and are laid up for a while. Our prayers go out to you.
Spring is taking its own sweet time getting here and better be bringing some sunshine or else. Well that's a mouthful so I better quit while I'm ahead. Love you kids!

(\\I'll put on a video or two if I can find one)

Well howdy again pard, reckon I'll mosey over to the laptop and wrestle up a post or two. Sorry, we just watched part of a John Wayne movie. It was called El Dorado. A great movie and always a happy ending. Speaking of a happy ending, Chelsae made the varsity softball team. She was "pumped" when she arrived home. So we celebrated with left overs and strawberry milk. Also we are hoping for a happy ending with Julie's shoulder. She went in for an MRI today and we will find out later this week what the verdict is. She is having quite a time with the pain so please keep her in your prayers.
Shawnae is coming down tonight so her and mom can go to Twin tomorrow and get Shawnae's braces off. Another happy ending!!
We love happy endings. We watched a movie the other night called "The Lake House" and even this movie had a happy ending. You guys would love it. Even this night had a happy ending. As I was delivering the monthly reports to the auxiliary heads tonight, I was walking up to the front door of our elders quorum president's home and didn't notice in the dark that the front walk was solid ice.My right foot went first and the my left followed which any other time would have ended me up on my back or head. But both feet collided with the first step and steadied me helping me maintain my balance. I thanked Heavenly Father over and over for that close call. I even met a member that we did not know of. A mother with two children that are old enough for mutual. It reminded me of the missionary splits years ago that we would do every Sunday night.
Well we will end this with a happy video or picture. Don't you just love happy endings.
