Hello

I sit here not really knowing what to blog about, but yet feel like I should. I have not been up to too much. Last week, I took care of Dalin for a couple of days while Nate & Heidi had their twins. All went well with that. They are all home and doing good. Dalin was really good for me. Although I have to tell you I am sure not used to a little one and all that is required. I had the diaper bag, car seat and stroller. We had fun together, but I realized I am way out of that stage. I love to be able to watch her and then give her back. I have so much freedom with my kids getting older. You start to get use to it. I feel blessed to be able to be there to help with Dalin and their dog, Andy. I am hoping to be able to help with twins too. Yeah, I would like that.

So, this last Friday and Saturday was Women of Faith and I have to say I wish I could have gone with my mom and friends. This is the first year I have missed since we started going(my mom & I). I will be going next year here in Denver though. I pray all of you that went had a wonderful time. I would be surprised to hear you not have a great time. I am so grateful to Gena for going with my mom. I hear they had a great time. It was hard on Friday when I realized I wasn't going to be there. Crazy how things will just hit you so hard. Even though it was hard I know God had a plan in it all. That is so comforting to know that He has a bigger plan that we don't always understand. I do hope you all were blessed at Women of Faith.

We have not been up to a whole lot here. Today we drove up to Red Rock and walked around. We are going to have to go back there for some hiking and some biking. We had a nice family day. We actually went to church on Saturday night, so we had all of today with just the four of us. I love our time together, especially when we are away from home. It is something about being out in God's beauty that just it so relaxing. We hiked a little bit and the kids were having fun racing Ben up the hill. I was tailing behind. Hiking was not in our plans it just happen and we were not wearing the right shoes for it. Oh well though we were on an adventure. I love our Kemper adventures. Not always sure what we are doing and just going with the flow. I think next weekend we are going to do some more hiking or maybe some biking at Red Rock. We will just wait to see what happens.

I would like to ask you all for your prayers. Jacob is due to go to the Cardiologist on Oct. 17th for a check up. We know we are getting closer each time for it to be surgery time. My prayer is that we will have peace no matter what happens. Jacob is getting bigger, so surgery can be at anytime. Also, pray for our time with the new doctor. It is always hard going to a new doctor. Having to tell everything again. This doctor does come recommended by Jacob's previous doctor. Nate & Heidi took Dalin to see this doctor as well. Anyway, I just get a little nervous each time we go in now. A part of me wishes it was time, just so we can move on past this. But then I think I am not ready. I know it will happen when God says it is time. I do trust Him with it all. Who knows maybe God will do a miracle and Jacob will never have to have surgery again. That would be truly amazing and awesome. So, please just pray for us as we wait for the appointment and for the appointment. Thank you.

I guess that is it for now. I had more to say then I thought I did. I pray you all are doing great. Miss you & love you bunches. Jesus loves you too!
