Well, the latest drama unfolds at the Brown House.......

Jacob was playing with some kids Saturday afternoon and put his hand through a plate glass window. He sustained a VERY BAD injury to his left hand and was transported from here to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville. After undergoing some extensive hand surgery he is home and doing well. He will be out of school for a bit and then will undergo therapy to try and regain movement and feeling in his middle finger and feeling in his index finger. The good thing is that they were able to save his fingers! We are thankful to God for being merciful to us......

Please be in prayer for our family as we put our house on the market. I am ever sure that God is leading us to sell our home, so I know that I need to have faith that He will make that happen, but I am very anxious about it. I am really in need of prayer in this area.

Thanks and love to all!

Random Pics of the Day

Easter 2009

Just a few pics from one of the most enjoyable Easter Sundays I remember having in a LONG time. I miss my family and when they are in town I relish every moment I have with them. Enjoy.....

Not much going on the Brown House lately. I guess the biggest news is that I am going to be typing from home again in the afternoons after I work at the church in the mornings. This will allow me to make some much-needed extra money and be at home with the kids at the same time. I have basically concluded that I am never going to have a "career" or figure out what to "do with my life". Just doesn't seem in the cards for me. I would much rather be at home with my kids as much as I can. Money just doesn't compare to being able to be with them while they are still at home.

We are preparing for Easter at our house and I am excited that my family is going to be able to come spend the day at our house. If there was one thing I could change, it would be to love closer to my Dad, sister and nieces. I am so blessed to have them. Sunday will consist of church and then eating some ham, rolls, green beans, potato casserole and macaroni and cheese (our traditional Easter meal). I can't wait!
