Sunday Smiles on May 2nd

How does it get to be Sunday again so fast?

It seems that I barely turn around before the week is over.

It has been another good week for us...

...full of smiles... and blessings.

I hope that it has been a good week for you too.

...

Miracles make me smile.

Thanks to all of you that are helping make a miracle

for baby Daylon.

Daylon's grandmother bore the sweetest testimony in church today.

She said that she used to think of miracles as things that happened

to very special people in days of old... when Jesus walked the earth.

She says that she now knows that miracles happen in our day...

...to ordinary people like her family.

Yesterday our community came together to raise money

for little Daylon to get his bone marrow transplant.
They held a Help Make A Miracle Fair

at a local high school.
There was a walk-a-thon..

...and booths of every variety to raise money.

Hundreds of people,

most who do not even know the Edling family,

donated time, effort and money
to help give this baby boy a chance to live.

Thanks also, to those of you who have reached out

through blog world

to help this sweet family.

It really is a miracle..... It makes my heart smile.

More money is still needed but what a great start this baby got.

E.J. makes me smile
(He just put a new post on his blog. He would love it if you would hop over

and give him a comment. Click here to go to his blog. Thanks.)

I think that he is just the cutest little league player ever.

I love to watch him pitch.... and hold my breath when he is a bat.
He does a great job and makes me smile.

I feel blessed that we live close to our precious Mindy
and get to do things with her family
that brings us so many smiles.
...
I know that I keep saying this...
... but Knott's Berry Farm makes me smile.

We kept Austin one extra day last week
so to make the time go faster for him we went to Knotts again.
...
How can you not be smiling at Knotts Berry Farm?

Watching Grampy and Austin together makes me smile.
They are such good buddies.

I am glad that Grampy could go with us last week.
We have fun when Austin and I go alone

but it is so much more fun when Grampy comes.

Shannon makes me smile.
She is one of the engineers of the steam trains...big and small.

Since Austin's favorite rides at Knotts are the trains
we see a lot of Shannon.
She is always perky and funny...
...and makes us all feel special and happy

We had fun riding on the authentic old stage coach
...but...

I am smiling that we don't have to travel in them today.
They are not a very comfortable way to ride.
I would not have made a very good pioneer.
I like my car's soft leather seats, air conditioning and stereo system!

We also had a wild ride on the merry-go-round.

Grampy almost fell off of that racing rooster.
Hang on Grampy....hang on.
...

I think that is enough smiles for today.
Next time I will tell you about my step back in time

which also made me smile.

Until then I am sending love

and wishing smiles to all of you.

Hugs, Grammy
