Long time no blog...

So it's been a while and much has been happening in Hyde World. One major event was that our littlest lady turned ONE! Miss Melody had quite the little shindig at our house and loved every minute of it-- including the cake! She wore the same dress that Kenzie wore for her first bday and I couldn't believe how much they looked alike!











Check out the crossed feet... love it!



Syler had his colonoscopy back in January and all is well in that department. They couldn't find whatever they saw in the barium test so that's definitely a good thing. For now we are just keeping things as they are as far as his vitamin supplements/medicines and diet. He hasn't had any complaints of mouth sores except for when he got an ear infection a few wks ago. Other than that he is doing great and we're just keeping an eye on him, like usual, since he appears to be doing so well.

As for myself, I've gotten a couple house projects started... again. I got stuck in my house for 4 days w/ the kids and apparently got a little bored! We have one full bath and a 1/2 bath that we haven't used much for one reason or another- probably b/c they haven't been given much TLC. Until now! Last night we finished using a product I didn't know existed until a few days ago-- tub and tile paint. Who knew? You can actually use this epoxy paint on ceramic tile, which we did in a single standing shower that had mustard yellow tile in it. It's now white! The walls were gray, like the rest of the entire house when we originally moved in. But now they are being painted a grayish blue. I'll post pics when project is complete. It has been quite a process for such a small bathroom!

Then the 1/2 bath just needed the plumbing hooked back up in a vanity we got when we moved in... we hadn't used the bathroom much b/c it's in Kenz and Sy's room and I just didn't like the idea of them going in there w/out me knowing it. So anyway, Jonathan is working on finishing the plumbing and I've put up some of the hardware we had purchased for in there too. I find it extremely invigorating to use a drill! Ha ha...

On top of all this fun stuff, God is doing some AWESOME things in our lives and at our church. PHC is the place to be!! :) Hardly have time to express all that He has been doing but it is so cool that we can serve a God that is living and active and wants to live out each day with us.... through the help of the Holy Spirit. Whoever said being a Christian is boring never experienced a Spirit-filled life! Check out Galatians 5:16-26

Well, suppose that's all for now... Sy fell asleep on the couch and needs woke up so he will sleep tonight! Funny boy...

  4. Wow! Melody is one!!!! You're right, Camille is just around the corner. Can't believe it! So glad the fun party for her went well, and you're back at creative home improvements! Thanks for your email a few weeks ago. We're praying and can't wait to chat more about it. Thank you also for your prayers. It's been a hard 3 years really, but hopefully we're on the up swing.
