Blooms & Boys.......

 Our crab apple is full of blooms and it is so pretty.
  When the flowering trees look like this, better get a picture...the blooms are being blown off like a snow storm today.
  This is my daughter Liz's redbud and dogwood . They line the drive. I love that dogwood.:):)
  Here's our tired boys. Daddy Mark almost looks to be asleep. After having Luke in for many tests for his cystic fibrosis.  They could not complete all the tests yesterday, as Luke grew tired and fretful.
  Bless his little heart, he still looks grumpy. Please say a wee pray for our boy.( XO )
  Big brother Max was staying with his Gigi.  They used play dough to make burgers. LOL.
 Then they went to play outside. The boys wear sunglasses and hats when outdoors.  At least Max had a fun day.
  Ted is cleaning up and stowing away all his fishing gear from his trip. He , his brother Mic, Brother-in-law Larry, sons in-law Jeff and Matt,  nephews Josh, Jason,  and a  three  good friends, Rusty, Scott, and Nick,  go to Reelfoot Tenn. for fishing. They fish for a week. Then bring their smelling clothes home for the women folk to wash. LOL.
  Enjoy this pretty day. Smile, please. XO

  2. Those flowering trees are drop dead gorgeous!
    It’s always a treat to see Baby Luke as I call him. He is in my prayer journal and will remain there along with you and his family.
    Max is cute with his hat and sunglasses! Our quads wear them too and have since before they were a year old. Amber has an entire drawer in their foyer reserved for all the sunglasses and has a basket of hats handy nearby!
    Love and prayers for you and yours today and every day!

  8. aahh, precious Luke...I will definitely say a prayer for him, Susie. That's a pretty creative cheeseburger Max made out of play dough haha. Your flowering tree is so lovely. The flowers on all the trees here have blown away in the wind, and it is starting to feel like summer already. It sounds like Ted had a fun fishing trip with all the guys.

    Happy Mother's Day, dear Susie. I hope you have a beautiful day. Me and my son are going to my favorite deli and then to the park for a picnic. I will see the girls next weekend. : )

    love, ~Sheri

    1. Kris, Thank you for the prayer. Luke is a sweet boy, but he looked so sad yesterday. He gets these check up and tests every so often, I guess....it may be a lifetime thing. Hope you are enjoying your weather...it's a bit cooler than we are right now. But I did not want summer before spring was over. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  13. Luke is in my thoughts and prayers.
    All the trees have bloomed here as today was foggy and cool in the morning and blossomed into a beautiful day.
    I should have some pictures of a quick trip into Chinatown in a day or two.
