Surgery

Josie and Camdyn were so excited to see each other!










Levi, happy little guy that he is!













Waiting for dinner...the kids have such a good time together.











Norm was fixing one of the swings for the kids and Levi, Macy and Camdyn were so interested...











Ansel and Noah












The Greene's new pet goats... the kids had a great time playing with the goats. The goats had no idea the kids wanted to "play", so they were terrified... I'm sure they'll soon get used to the commotion of kids. They were too cute!

I didn't realize that Nichole had surgery this week, so am thankful for the previous post. I intended to post some pictures from last Friday when Kurt and I and the kids were able to spend some time at the Greene's house, but hadn't gotten around to doing that yet, so here they are. I will try to speak with Nichole today and give another update on how she is doing.
As of last Friday, Nichole had been in a lot of pain from her kidneys. She has been on heavy pain medication, but when the meds begin to wear off, she described the pain as "close to child-bearing". Most of us women can relate, but as she said, with child-bearing, there is an end to the pain and then such an incredible blessing that follows that the pain is worth it...anyway please pray that this surgery would decrease the pain that she was in every day and give her relief so she can serve her family and enjoy her days with an ability to think clearly (this is certainly clouded by pain!). Thanks!
Once again, if anyone needs any sort of carpentry (finished carpentry work is best), please know that Norm is a very talented carpenter and will be on hiatus for three months. The family would certainly appreciate any side jobs that you may need to have done as they need the continued source of income.

Thanks Julie for sharing the photos and your time with the Greenes. Josie looks so much like her mommy. We're praying everyday for Nichole and family. If you or the other girls have time, please let us know how the recovery is coming along. Your family is such a blessing, I haven't even met you all and yet my heart is knit to yours through this trial. Thank you again for investing your lives into the Greene family!
