early update...

well, you are all checking to to see how tim is doing and i am out watching the river rise.

tim is doing physically OK, but this may have been the worse emotionally draining 24 hours he has had. as many of you know things have been kinda crazy around here lately...and although i think that i have things pretty much under control (like megan getting better and the bug situation and now the rains keep coming ...) he is REALLY struggling emotionally with not being able to actively participate in helping out around here.


we go around the house singing "and the rains came down and the floods came up..."

for those of you familiar with that song...our spiritual foundation is strong and built upon a rock, but we certainly have our physical house built a tad too close to the river this week. (thank you steve and heather for the pump and thanks to ALL who have called and offered help with lifting and moving "stuff"). so far the rains are still only on the outside of our house, but with the river cresting at 25+ tomorrow night, we may get our built-in pool we always wanted.

we will keep you posted...so far we are fine. but like i said there is a lot of work to be done and it is killing him not being able to help. in some ways this is harder on him than anything so far i think-i guess it could be called a "guy-thing" and i suppose most of you husbands and dad's would know how it would feel to be unable to help out and just have to sit back and watch.

so, we are off to the day hospital this morning and i will update a bit later on when i get a chance=but pray for his emotional status through this "little crisis week" we are having and i am sure that things will all work out.

thanks for checking in.

stay dry.

tim and tammy
