So Proud of my Hubby!!

I just had to take post to say how proud I am of my hubby!! He has worked so hard starting up his own computer consulting business about 4 years ago. He was the only employee. Today this is his staff functioning out of an office in Carmel and Fishers with 2 support vans driving around town to homes and business.

He took his staff and their families (below) bowling and pizza this summer for a staff Night 'O Fun. We just feel so blessed and so proud of the staff. God is so good and Jason is really seeing the fruit of his labor!!!

A little this and a little that...

This summer has been a great summer celebrating friends birthdays! Some of her friends turned 3 this summer and others 4, the P's right in the middle. And most are sweet little boys, who she just adores being around.

This b-day Party was for a firemen birthday boy, and his Mommy and Daddy in this picture got to put on the full gear so that we all wouldn't be afraid to see firemen. Aren't they great sports?!!! She got to be with her buddy at this party, who is also in her class at school and church. These two are stuck like glue and so adorable together!!!
One day we got to catch up with her classmates at school at a local playground and spray park. They really missed each other, but the Mommies missed MMO the most ;)!! Can't wait after labor day the new year begins!!!

This is one of our neighbor boy's b-day parties. He turned 3!! Adorable!
And this is the other who turned 4! He had lots of his guy friends at the party, but it didn't bother her one bit!! Aren't they cute!!!

We have 6 September Birthdays to come (not including Mommies) that are direct family (Papa Dan, Aunt Erin, Lo, Jilli, Tylo and Conno!!). So we will have lots of pictures and fun birthday parties to come!!!!

THANK YOU FOR THE PRAYERS!!

After a long and complicated 6 hour prostate removal surgery, my Dad came out of surgery late last night. His Doctor said the surgery was successful and it appeared that all the cancer is out and contained in the prostate that was removed. His bladder needed minor repair, but he should have much relief now. Since the size of his prostate was the size of a cantaloupe and a normal size being the size of a plum, it was definitely causing some discomfort with his bladder.

So he was in a lot of pain, but the doctor expects him to be walking the halls today and leaving to return home tomorrow. He does have quite a journey of healing ahead and you can pray for his pain. He said it was a 9 on a scale of 10 and he has high pain tolerance. When he was out of his surgery, he was so glad it was over, definitely saying some "funny Duane" things like where we were going for breakfast in the morning which is something we do most Saturdays. :) Thank you again for your prayers!!! We just praise God for the good reports and being behind the surgery. Now onto recovery....

Praying for Papa Duane

We are praying for my Dad, "Papa Duane" Keller tomorrow and would love your prayers too. He is having his cancerous prostate removed on Friday at 1pm. If you know my Dad, you know laughter, life, love, ND small town boy who just makes ya feel good!!

We would love prayer specifically for our family, for comfort, peace, protection, safety, all the cancer removed, repair of his bladder and swift recovery. He'll be recovering over the coming weeks.

Here are some great pictures of my Dad and the P the other day during some good ole quality time. Giggles and
Secrets...

We LOVE YOU and are praying for you Dad!!!

Holiday World

Took a mini vacation to Holiday World just us, probably the last one before the baby comes. It was in Santa Claus Indiana and look who was there on vacation!!
She got to ride lots of rides by herself and two with Daddy. Her favorite was the roller coaster!!

She spent 5 hours doing this. Jay and I took turns water logged all day, but it was a great day for it!! We went in the wave pool and lazy river over and over. I was spent when we got back to the hotel. She swam so much that I could squeeze her cast!! P.S. She got it off today and it is completely healed!!

Bumper boats all by herself!

Picture time...can you tell she's a Daddy's girl? She didn't want to take a picture with Mommy.

Awe!!!

We had a lot of fun at Holiday World. It was so clean and they had the best water park for any age. They give out free pop all day and their food was really good and cheap. We loved going as a family and would recommend it. The only down fall is that it's 3 and half hours away. So you really need to stay. But I would highly recommend the campgrounds right next door to it. We would love to do that with a group. You can rent rv's fully furnished and golf carts too.

Our next family adventure is the Pongratz Family Reunion in Milwaukee. Pictures to come...

Broken Arm...

She got 'er done!! Her first broken arm!!! She was a playing at a park in fishers and fell 3 ft off a bouncy bridge on her elbow. We went to the ER to find out she has a fracture in her elbow. We've been to the Er 5 times in her 3 year life. Two of those times she's been hospitalized. Out of those 5 times the docs have said..."We only see 2 of these a year." And her broken arm was one of those. On the positive note, this was a good thing! The Ortho Doc said she'll be recovered in 3 weeks!! This by far is much easier than her asthma/pneumonia scares!!

P.S. She chose blue!!! And she's excited about people signing her cast. It's not slowing this girl down one bit, which was one of my initial fears. But the doc said she'll play as hard as her pain allows. Whew!! She has some high pain tolerance.

She's singing a little diddy for ya above and below, she is standing in front of a sweet sweet sign our neighbors and friends Caleb and Abby made!!! It made her day!!

As you can see, there is no slowing down to be allowed!!

Tennis anyone? Even with her left arm, she's pretty good!!

We were also worried about our little "picker" peeling her cast off at night, (remember like she used to do her diapers). We would find her diaper off in the morning and her bed and jammies wet. We'll keep you posted on that outcome!! Happy 4th of July Everyone from our little firecracker to yours!!

May May May

We got to go to the Track on Community Day to celebrate our good friends 1st Birthday party. His Daddy works for the IRL, so we got to go behind the scenes and eat lunch in a tent. What a fun day and great 1st Birthday Party!!

Here the P gets to be with her buddy from school and church. Look how she has her arm around his waist. She loves him! They eat lunch together at the same table at school every day because of their allergies. So adorable!! And aren't all their sunglasses cute. That was a fun present from the birthday boy.

Here's the birthday boy or "boat boy" as he's infamously known for and his daddy right behind him. This is his first cake and he knows just what to do!!
There's the birthday boy's pretty mommy and my dear friend...

The Queen of the 500 loved the P's hair and couldn't stop playing with it. Had to get a picture of her with the P and her princess sash.

What a great time at the Track and a great way to celebrate!!

We also celebrated our anniversary in May at French Lick Resort. It was so nice to just get away, talk, set goals, eat, sleep, play games ;), and we even got to lay out by the pool. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating.
