All Went Well

JT did great today. They did surgery on both of his eyes early (very early) this morning. (We left the house at 5:45am.) He has slept a lot today, but he's in a good mood. He forgets and rubs his eyes, which hurts, but otherwise it seems he is doing good.

Thank you all for your prayers. Please pray for his recovery to be speedy with no complications.

Love, Momma Wolg

Prayer Request for JT

JT -- my son with my hair gel

We love you little one!

Please pray for my little one this Wednesday, 7/16 (early morning). He will have surgery on his left eye. It is a fairly routine surgery to correct a wandering eye, called Strabismus Surgery. He has a problem when focusing at a distance; his eye wanders up and to the left. He then squints his eye to try to block out the image from that eye. No, he's not winking at everyone....although I like that reason better. Pray the surgery and recovery go well.



From Sissy: i love you jt. JT, hope you miss sissy. Sissy just going to see Paw Paw & Grammy.

Test Your Knowledge

I was talking with Jana at church a month or so ago and we talked about quoting lines from movies and TV shows. I didn't realize how much Daddy and I do it until after that....we use quotes ALL the time. Part of our humor I guess. :) We always laughing in our house. The kids probably think Daddy and I are certifiable since many times we get the joke or quote and they don't.

Periodically, I will put some quotes from movies and TV shows to test your knowledge. Let's see who can get these. I expect Jana to do well. I'll post the answers later. Have Fun! Momma Wolg

Amazing Grace

Grandma Dovie

Last Sunday, we sang Amazing Grace during worship service. It always reminds me of my Grandma Dovie. It was one of her favorite songs and my cousin, Sharon, sang it at her funeral. Grandma went to be with the Lord 15 years ago.

Here are a few of the things I remember about Grandma:

• Saintly -- A sweet Christian Lady.
• Her Patience -- I never saw her angry, raise her voice or use a cuss word.
• Crackers in bed -- Grandma let us grand kids eat crackers in bed at her house.
• Little Lady -- petite in size (under 5 ') and always mannered (what happened with Willy & Wanda?...hee, hee)
• Coins -- You would always find coins, mostly pennies, hidden or wrapped up in paper.
• Her House -- a little white house that was great for playing outside, like Cowboys and Indians with our cousins.

Love and miss you Grandma. Momma Wolg

Summer Pics

Hello! Just thought I would share some pictures from the past week. We had a great time in the pool over at Monique's house; always fun to play with Brady, Blake and Presley. The boys are getting so big; it's hard to believe Brady is starting middle school and Presley Kindergarten.
We went to the fireworks in Lewisville last night; family outings are always "interesting". JT wanted to go where they were firing off the fireworks -- to participate off course. Sissy wanted to go back to the car to watch. We saw the fireworks from a distance, but I got to see a little girl "spewing" up close -- car next to ours. Again, the fun just keeps coming....
Love, Momma Wolg

I'm TWO COOL!

Look -- I'm swimming!!

Sissy posing for the camera as always!

The girls had fun playing in the pool -- Lots of cannon balls.

To All You Moms

I found the following poem in a magazine I was perusing at the hospital (more on that later). Loved it! I thought of my Mimi, Grammy and my friends that are Mommies who are heroes to their little ones. I pray that I be even a portion of the hero my kids think I am (sometimes). Much love, Momma Wolg

When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

When you thought I wasn't looking

You hung my first painting on the refrigerator

And I wanted to paint another.

When you thought I wasn't looking

You fed a stray cat

And I thought it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking

You baked a birthday cake just for me

And I knew that little things were special things.

When you thought I wasn't looking

You said a prayer

And I believed there was a God that I could always talk to.

When you thought I wasn't looking

You kissed me good-night

And I felt loved.

When you thought I wasn't looking

I saw tears come from your eyes

And I learned that sometimes things hurt -

But that it's alright to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking

You smiled

And it made me want to look that pretty too.

When you thought I wasn't looking

You cared

And I wanted to be everything I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking

I looked ...

And wanted to say thanks

For all those things you did

When you thought I wasn't looking.
