Employee of the Week and of the Month!!!!

Shaughn has only been at McDonalds for about a month and a half and came home last night with 2 gift cards and 8 free meals because he was named Employee of the Week AND Employee of the Month!!!! His Dad and I are so proud!! Way to go Shaughn!!!!

My Dad still needs your prayers. His healing process is super slow and he needs the "Joy of the Lord" to shower over him during this time. If you could remember him and my mom, I would appreciate it.

Our local Wal-mart store opened today! This was a huge event here locally as they only had one store to shop at and this will give them a variety. :-) Otherwise, it is off to Anchorage...a 3-4 hour drive for most of us. Our friends in Homer has to add another 1 1/2 hours to that drive. We all went to check it out today after Shaughn got off of work.

Scott spoke today at the local native college. We all went but let him do the honors of speaking to the missions class. He did a great job speaking about CEF and the history of CEF. Each of the kids in the class took a prayer card and said they would be praying for us. They are such a great bunch of teens. We always enjoy going there. It is located just past our office a couple of blocks.

Everyone is doing great. We are preparing for all of our summer projects both with CEF and personal. We have many projects here at the home front...any volunteers to come and help??? :-) Love hearing from you all!

Bless you!

Teeth...

The latest with the Lazaros Family...

Jeremiah lost another tooth. On the bottom. He was so excited to receive a visit from the tooth fairy. He made sure I took photos. :-)

Matthew lost his front tooth...again!! That was last Sunday. I called a dentist on Monday and got him in on Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. Totally God!! After 2 hours and $212.00, it was back in. The dentist said he is going to baby this tooth until Matthew is 18 and at that time probably do an implant into the bone. He doesn't have any real tooth left to work with. After 4 different dentists and 4 different crowns, there is nothing left of the original tooth to hook the crown onto. So, pray that we can make this last until he is 18 or stops growing. The dentist is afraid that if they do the implant too soon, that it will cause other problems due to his bones are still growing.

Shaughn has made it 1 month at his job. He just finished working 42 hours this past week. He is pretty tired. He has decided that this is not the career he wants to do for the rest of his life. :-)

Update on my dad: His surgery was Wednesday, March 3rd. They had to take out more than they thought they would have to. He came home the next day with two bags. He went in the following Monday, March 8th for a check up. They removed the drainage bag but found that he was extremely swollen and that it was very unusual. The doctors were very concerned. They had him come back this past Wednesday, March 10th and removed the 2nd bag and he was still very swollen. His blood pressure is pretty low too. He has had some really bad days for pain and is healing slowly. The results came back and showed that it was a good thing that they took out extra because the cancer has moved into the fatty tissues around the prostate. The doctor feels he got all of it but will know more once he is able to do more testing. Dad said he almost wishes he had not gone through with the surgery as the pain is so intense. The rest of his treatment will be talked about next week (I think) at his next appointment.

Scott & Lela are almost done with their on-line class. Only 2 weeks left. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, that is pretty much it for the moment. Bless you all!!
