Whirl Wind Week

This week has been filled with a whirlwind of events and activities that have kept us on the road and running from one thing to another!

We went to Little Rock to participate in an event for the Arkansas Children's Homes.

Reservations were made for us in a downtown hotel that is a little fancier than we usually stay in! This is how you know you are not in the Motel 6: robes and slippers hanging in the closet for your use and monogramed stickers on the toilet paper!!
They even had Harper's name on the end of her baby bed! That's service!!
The entertainment for the dinner was really good. These are a group of men who get together and play folk music! We really enjoyed them because they seem to enjoy the music themselves so much!
The girls who were residents at the home decorated the tables! They made the placemats and they served as hostess at each table! I thought they did a great job! My job was to give them encouragement as they needed.
We had a great dinner! I recognized the cook because I read his blog many years ago.
The next morning we went to a breakfast where Kelly gave a talk on the world of blogging and how God has used her blog is so many different ways.

We had the nicest visit when we got ready to leave. A lady named Mrs. Hamilton from North Little Rock came over and introduced herself. She said she felt like she knew all of us because she reads our blogs. She was reading about Harper when she was born and had to be sent to Tulsa to the NICU.

Here's how the story is so neat: Her son is a pediatric cardiologist at the hospital where Harper was sent. So Mrs. Hamilton calls up her son and tells him he needs to see Harper! And he did! And , of course, nothing was wrong with Harper's heart but we were so thankful her son came and checked on her!

Isn't God good? And now we got to meet this sweet woman and we have another wonderful friend-in-the-Lord!
The next day after we got home from Little Rock we had to get ready to go the next day to take Steve to the airport for his trip to India. We got to spend the night with GUESS WHO for a little loving before her Papa leaves.
"Papa is going where?????"
I think Papa is trying to help Harper set up her blog and Facebook page! I think she already twitters!!
It is always fun to help her take a bath!

Before I left today I went to the Rhea Lana children's consignment sale in Rogers. It was HUGE! You could find everything you would need for any child zero to 5 T and all the equipment you need to raise a child! I bought several things for Harper that I thought were really cute. Here are just two examples:


Both of these were six dollars each! You can't beat that! Some of the things I got were brand new and the tags were still hanging on them! I will definitely go back next year!

Please pray for Steve while he is in India this week. He has a lot to do but is so excited to be there and proclaim Jesus. The native pastors are under such harshness from others. They need our prayers for strength and courageous! We are so blessed!
