Pray for Aunt Nina


Last weekend Andy and I went to Houston and had a GREAT time seeing college friends Elizabeth, Lisa, Ashlei, Dori, and Andy's cousin Greg and his wife Jamie and their daughter Campbell. But...I lost my camera, so I have nothing to show you.... Andy's sister Alicen stayed with the boys (thank you, Aunt Bertie)!
This week has been one hilarious escapade after another...from the boys playing in mud, to sneaking chocolate chip cookies late at night, to Carter instructing Colin on how to wear a bra, pointing and saying, "it needs to go on your lippers," to the tuna story (which I'm about to tell).... Of course, I have no camera, but I've tried to take pictures on Andy's iPhone when possible, but you know how that is; if you don't have the camera at the right time you just miss the great shot.
So the other day I am interrupted from folding laundry by the overwhelming smell of tuna fish. (Never a good sign.) I start sniffing around to track the scent and I see Cooper and Clayton huddled together near the trash can. (Never a good sign.) Both of their faces and hands/paws are covered in tuna fish and they are hungrily fighting over the empty can! Do I not feed both of them high quality food all day long?? Why are they digging in the trash for old tuna fish?? Unfortunately, I have no picture to show you, but let me tell you, after the initial shock and disgust, it was funny!
Here is a picture of me and Kristina (Aunt Nina, Andy's sister-in-law) who has been in the hospital since Saturday. She is diabetic and her kidneys are not functioning well. Kristina is a fighter and has been in and out of the hospital for years. She has a good attitude, but I would appreciate your prayers for her. Please pray for Kristina and for her sweet husband Matt today.
