Prayers Needed for my Aunt

We are asking for prayer for my Aunt Jeanne. (My mom's sister) She has just been diagonsed with Stage IV Ovarian Cancer. As this is coming as a shock we are leaning on our GOD to carry her and her family through this time! She has 2 kids whom are both married and the sweetest little granddaughter Ainsli.

My Aunt is so special to us. She has always loved us and thought of us has her own. She loves our kids!!! We have such great memories from growing up being spent with her and my Uncle Mark.

So we ask that you pray for peace and comfort for them and that they feel the love of Jesus wrapped around them and that they know there are people pray for them.

Aunt Jeanne, we love you so very much and we are so glad that you are apart of our lives and the lives of our kids. We are praying for you and Uncle Mark. We are here for anything you need!!!!!!!!!! You will beat this, we know you can!!! Love you so much!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We hope that you all had a very great Christmas! We sure did!!! The Houston's had a busy day but enjoyed watching the kids really get into Chrismtas this year. In our house, I can never sleep on Christmas Eve and we are always up early. We woke the kids up at about 6:45. Emma didn't sleep well the night before so she was pretty tired. She really understood Santa this year so it was so fun to see her face when she came out in the living room. She was a tornado and tore through her presents. Ethan on the other hand, we had to force him to open more presents after the first one. He was happy and content with what he had in his hands and didn't need anything else.

We then headed to the Welte house where we opened gifts with Granny, Pop, Unlce Zach, Unlce Jon, Aunt Ra-Ra, Tanner, Case, Grandma Laurel, and Grandpa Van. By mid morning Emma wasn't acting herself and we figured out she had a fever. After breakfast we decided it was best not to travel an hour to be with more family. Gar and I headed home with the kids for naps in hopes that would make them feel better. However, while they were sleeping we had to take our tree down. It had been dying over a couple weeks and it was looking really bad. Needless to say, by the time we got it out of the house there were only a few needles left on the floor. Lots of cleaning to do.

On Saturday Ethan started with hives all over his body. We took him to the doctor and figured out it was a food alleregy. Still not sure what he ate.

So we had an exciting Christmas weekend! :)
