Grandma Went Home

Today was a sad day for us here in Honduras, especially for three little kids. Today is the day that Grandma went home.:-( I was so thankful to have her here (as were the rest of the family). After just getting out of the hospital, I was able to rest without worrying about the kids or the house. We were fed and taken care of as only a grandma can do. There are no words that can express how thankful we are for our home church, Faith Baptist Church in Tacoma, WA, for providing the way for her to come rescue us.

After I was cleared by my doctor, I was able to spend one day with her and we spent it shopping for Jordan's birthday. He will turn four on the 20th of April, but because Grandma wanted to see him open his presents, we celebrated with her just before she left. Grandma even bought the cake. It was a special treat for us. We have never had a "cinnabon cake" before, but I have to admit that it was probably the best tasting and most fattening cake I have ever eaten and was worth every pound.

Jordan's favorite gifts were a hammer that he got from Grandma and Grandpa Smith and a skill saw from Mom and Dad. The hammer is real and usable, but the skill saw is a battery operated plastic one. He spent all day today "fixing" the table and couches. I am so glad that there are toy versions of the real thing available.
