Friday Fragments and Fotos

I'm going to start doing double-duty on Fridays. I happened upon Mama and The Dudes 
and she hosts a weekly photo challenge that sounds like a ton of fun.

Photobucket


So here is my entry for this week's theme: Words


Sam formed his name out of pipe-cleaners when he was 4 and like any snap-happy-mom, 
I grabbed my camera.  Isn't he brilliant?  {snicker}



School is going so well.  We all love Sam's new teacher and he is practicing his reading every 
day.  If only it would cool off a bit, so the students could actually enjoy recess.

As usual, Sam has befriended all the girls in his class.  He's cute and charming!



We put our home on the market about a month ago.  We're getting lookers, but no takers. 
I wish someone would fall in love with it fast b/c there's a home that I really, really want.

You know you want need a 2nd home in Kennesaw, GA!



We went over to our friends' home this week for dinner and 20 minutes after we arrived, 
Luke laid down on the rug in their family room and went to sleep.  It was so funny...
and so cute.  He didn't even get to play or eat!

I didn't take my camera, tho, for some weird reason.  Matt was kind enough to snap these.



Some other friends have a hard task tomorrow.  They will bury their 7-year old son.  He just 
lost his battle with a nasty brain tumor.

Neil and I will be with them, and we'd love some additional prayer.




Mommy's Idea

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!  Click HERE to read more fragments.

Hi precious friend,

You know I'm praying for that special family. My heart is full for them.

You also know I'm praying for your home to sell, sell, sell. May God send the person(s) who LOVE IT and NEED it and will be BLESSED by it and may YOU have the opportunity to purchase the home that your hearts desire.

Love that photo of Luke! Reminds me of when you guys visited with us and he fell out on the family room sofa! He's just a comfortable cutie isn't he!

Love that Sam pipe cleaning photo! So glad he's doing well in school and of course the girls would adore him -- he's so handsome and great personality!

Love you dear friend!

The Crazy Coxes said...

I love your pipe cleaner pic! How cute! So sweet! So sorry to hear about your friends. What a tragedy!

The Urban Cowboy said...

Good luck with the house! I used to live in Dunwoody and Marietta, GA.

Liz Mays said...

How terrible to hear about your friends' loss.

I love Sam's pipe cleaner name and I'm so glad he's doing well at school. That charm is gonna win him so much female interest over the years! LOL

You know I feel for you about your home having been there myself, so I do hope yours sells super fast!

Maude Lynn said...

I'm so sad for your friends. That's heartbreaking.

Love the pipe cleaner writing. How awful for your friends to have to bury their son. I think it has to be the worst sort of death to deal with, that of your own child.

mimbles said...

Sam is adorable :-)

So sorry about your friends' son, such a dreadful thing to have to deal with.

sarah said...

ahh, what a stud muffin and what a pooped out little man. my daughter starts preschool this fall. only 2 days a week but, i can't believe we still have 3 weeks of summer yet some kids are already sweating it in the classrooms!

please stop by and see what we have been up to and enter the envirosax giveaway!

your friends are in my thoughts. my uncle lost his battle just under a year ago.

Karen and Gerard said...

I liked the pictures of Luke--so cute.

So sad for that family whose 7-yr-old son died. Praying for them right now. I'll never understand why God gives people children and then takes them away so soon--but then, I cannot see His overall plan either and just have to trust Him and realize every breath he gives us is a gift.
