Since We've Been Gone...

It's been over a month since my last post, so here is a peek into the recent happenings in the Rooks household:


-- Madeline had a HORRIBLE ear infection. Seriously, the worst I've ever seen. After several sleepless nights and much feeling of helplessness, a trip to the ENT, a couple of different antibiotics, drops, one dose of Lortab elixir and many, many Tylenol, the drainage has cleared up and Little Miss is finally feeling better.

-- It snowed in Birmingham. 4 inches. Eat your heart out, Virginia.




-- M&E and I have been suffering from cabin fever and decided the cure would be a trip to Mama Kaye's. It was complete with a stroll through the cemetery (a favorite activity) and Madeline's first haircut.






-- On Friday, Brandon was laid off from his job as a Project Manager with a local commercial construction company. While the future is unsure and this time is very scary, we are clinging to our faith in God Almighty and His unending love and provision for us. We covet your prayers, words of encouragement and job leads!
