Unexpected Blessings!

Bob has been in need of a new mask for his breathing machine (he has bi-pap).  Over the past 6-8 weeks i've been in contact with a guy off of Ebay, who could not figure out what mask he currently has.  So I emailed him pictures.  The responce I got was this... 

Hi,
This is the old Ultra Mirage Full Face Large Design.  I dont have these.  I sent you a newer model and I hope you like it.

Thanks,
Mike


It completly amazes me the people that are in my life.  They are the most amazing people, willing to help with anything they can, whenever they can!  When another friend heard of our struggles they offered us a machine they are not using.  Bob's machine is 10 years old, and we know eventually it will crap out on us.  (neither of us have insurance...yet)  And then YET another awesome Friend is sending out 3 masks her husband didnt use and didnt like (different brand) for him to have!

GOD IS GOOD!!!!

It's very quiet!

The kids have been gone since Thursday afternoon.  (They are at their Dads) and it's sooo quiet here!  Bob and I got up this morning and went to have breakfast.  Even though it's only him and I home, we are working complete oppisite shifts this weekend.  It SUCKS, but we make the best of the time we do have together :)  He'll be home on lunch from 2-3...and i'm due in work at 5.  He gets off at 7...  

We have some relatives coming Monday to swim, Caitlynn will be very excited over that...and i'm sure Jacob will love to show off his jumping with 'no lobster'.  His Lobster is a Puddle Jumper life vest, he's so much safer in it then swimmies with his weight issues.  Swimmies just FALL right off his arms, the vest stays on nomatter what.  (He cant even take it off!)  He's tall enough this year to 'tip toe' in the pool, and brave enough to finally jump in!

I work Monday morning and while i'm there Bob will be getting more scrap metal, wish I could go help but it's not possible.  Jacob has a dr. apt in the evening too.  I'm sure she's not going to like his weight...  :(

I'm gonna try...

To try this Blogging thing again :)  I used to love it!  And you can visit my old blog at http://www.dimatteofamily.blogspot.com/ but it has not been used in a LONG time!  If you go back to the early days though there are some pictures of how cute my kids were ;)

Though that Blog has Me, Caitlynn & Jacob in it...the rest of the 'characters' have changed.  I'm divorced now from 'F' and Engaged to Bob.  Bob has 3 kids R, K and B (15, 14 and 9) so we are a large group when we're all together! 

The school year is gone...and all kids have passed!  Though 2 of them had a bit of a rough time with it.  And 1 Amazing one skipped a grade!  Jacob will be entering a Self Contained 2-3 class!  He went from K to 2!!!  He is amazing!  Now ... Can we please get the pottying thing under control?

Ok, lets get this place set up!  Keep your eyes out for pictures of all our Monkey's this summer with lots of Fun in the Sun pic's!
