When it rains it pours!

I'm sitting at Walser Toyota waiting for oil change to be done! Not to waste a moment. I had a dream last night that niece Molly started bathtub water in our house and then fell asleep so the water was pouring into the basement!......Sara calls it "life is a deluge sometimes" - now my mom is in ICU in Crookston MN with congestive heart failure, pain from recent shingles episode and a very bad heart. There have been a lot of phone calls between me and brother Kent and me and niece Molly. I talked to a very nice nurse in ICU last night and they will try for an echocardiogram today - her breathing was too poor last night to do that....ooops just now got a call from Kent and they are transferring her to Meritcare in Fargo as she is no better. She really does not want anything done - we are in a quandary.
We did have an absolute lovely Easter - 12 people with 4 of them being 4 and under.
Below is a picture of Lucy discovering her very first Easter egg in the tree nook - didn't take her long to figure that one out but the look on her face was priceless!


The four urchins: Alex, Lucy, Greta and Nels Hedman - too cute. Lucy steals the show!

The Little Joneses - Alex with his forced smile - hates having his picture taken.

Yesterday Amy got the word that she doesn't need as much speech therapy - once a week now - Ross and I could not figure out her "homework" - it's cognitive stuff but goofy. I don't think she needs it as she is managing the household.
Below is the lovely walk outside with the menfolk and the cute PT intern....another UND student.

That is all for now - our life continues to bring unwanted surprises but along with that are the fun, laughter and sunshine - and a wonderful extended family all over the world! Praise the Lord for that.
