June 2008

Well, June has started out pretty miserable. Along with the oppressive heat and humidity which leaves us prisoners of our house once again, I have started feeling symptoms of my Mineres disease again. We are just praying that it doesn't turn into an episode. I havn't had one in a few months now - praise the Lord! On a sadder note, we lost a friend from church on Friday morning. His name was Ryan and he was a great guy. He had an awesome sense of humor and was a great testimony in Christ. He leaves behind a young wife and twin two-year olds. It breaks our hearts to see him leave, but we know he is in God's glorious kingdom and he no longer has to deal with sick lungs or cystic fibrosis. If anyone wants to donate money, just walk into any fifth third bank and tell them you want to contribute to the Sweeney trust fund. I don't know how they will make ends meet or how the kids will go to college, but I have faith that the Lord will get them through it all. Please keep them in your prayers. Our camera is still in Joliet with my sister, so we are unable to update pictures at this time. Natalie Jane has learned to blow kisses and throw small temper tantrums and growls when she gets mad. Hmmm....I wonder where she got that growl;) Bella finished gymnastics and loved it and we ended up getting a trampoline to help her learn all kinds of new tricks. Hopefully her fist E.R. visit isn't one of them. I have been busy with scrapbooking and other crafts and Aaron has been out of town a lot lately. Hopefully, things will slow down for us now. Hope all is well in each of your households.
