Update: We are home from Teddi's surgery, minus tonsils and adenoids. The surgery went smoothly, but coming out from under anesthesia was another story . . . let's just say we survived! We arrived home about 3:30 p.m. and she just polished off two bowls of her favorite soft noodles! I'm ready for a nap . . . Thank you Lord for keeping Your hand upon my girl.
Hello dear ones! Oh how I miss blogging. I have so much to catch up on! Tonight I thought I would begin to share a few pictures from the big event, and also ask you to pray for my little bird who is now sporting a very bright pink cast on her broken wing.
The cast went on last Thursday morning and will remain in place for three more weeks. At that time if all has healed well, the two pins will be removed from her elbow, and Flit will be back in the flying business! Hmmm, maybe I should rethink that statement. It kind of gives the impression that Flit isn't flitting. She is. And brightly, I might add. Tomorrow we will return to the same hospital for yet another surgery. When we return home it should be minus Flit's tonsils and adenoids. If she does well we hope to be back home by late afternoon. Please pray that she will eat (broth or Popsicle maybe?) and drink for us, so that we don't have to spend the night. Thanks for praying! On to the fun stuff . . .
My beautiful girls!

"I should probably take my jeans off, huh?"
She's turning Texas on me!

Along with a picture from rehearsal so
that you can see their beautiful faces.
That's my darling niece Taryn (14) in black.
My birdie bride-to-be. Taye's childhood friend Emily,
who flew in from Michigan! And Frankie's sister Kathy--she
and Taye were friends well before Taye and Frankie ever were.
Love you girls! Wasn't it fun?
Pearls . . .

Okay, this one makes me cry . . .
My baby girl is now a wife!
The introduction by our sweet pastor . . .
"I present to you . . .
Mr. and Mrs. Francisco Rodriguez"!
My birds . . . now six!
Happy husband and wife!
They were married at the historic chapel here on our base--
about two blocks from our home. What a precious day it was!
What a May it has been.
Thank you Father God for all that May has brought us! The celebration of 25 years of marriage . . . a 23rd birthday for Bryce and a 21st birthday for Taylor . . . along with an Associates Degree for Taye and a marriage license too! A one year Gotcha anniversary with our Theadora Fu Xiao. A wedding celebration to beat all celebrations and the absolute joy of sharing it with so many people who love us. The sweet connection we now share with Frankie's great big, extended Texas family. And best of all a son-in-love named Francisco. Yes indeed, May has been sweet. Thank you Lord for Your loving strength that saw me through.
Thank you Lord for blessing my May nest!
Love from my nest ~

Absolutely beautiful! And the cast wrapped in tulle...magnificent!
Glad your sweetie's surgery went well. Now it's time to rest up, Mama.
Oh, Tina! Every time I read your blog over the past few weeks, I feel tired (and Happy!).
The wedding pictures are beautiful. Taylor is beautiful and everyone else looks wonderful and happy.
I'm praying for Teddi. Lily keeps asking about her. So many things all at once for your precious little girl!!
Blessings to you, my friend. From here on out, things slow down a bit, don't they?
