Our dear friend Joycelyn is in the hospital with newly diagnosed Diabetes type 1. They are trying to get the sugar regulated and teach her all about the disease and her new needles before sending her home : (

Please pray for her and her sweet Mom as they adjust.

As Joycely says, "God will take care of me."

We love you, Broaduses!

We love them, too! Praying for quick adjustment to the new lifestyle and a happy healthy return to FC for Joycelyn!

Rachael can help take care of her!

Been there, done that........twice! Both of my boys are Type 1 diabetics. It's hard to take everything in at once but it soon becomes such a part of their lifestyle that they do everything automatically. If I can help this family or if they need an ear, I am here. I've talked to many families over the years.

Happy Day!

Just for your information,

I am going to be a grandma.

My talk is over.

Tomorrow I turn 50, and I don't even mind.

It's a wonderful day.

Thank you Lord, and dear people everywhere.

Love and best wishes to you all.

Happy Birthday! We are home. We flew home last night. That went well. We went to the coast with Brian and Alex for a little while before we went to the airport. I had lots of beauties of nature to be aware of and thankful for there! Brian found a huge mollusk, maybe 9 inches with barnacles and some kind of plants, like lots of intertwining dried twigs attached to him. We were enjoying studying him then he snapped shut. He was only open about an eighth to a quarter of an inch. We all jumped; he scared us so!! We had a good laugh at that. I thought of Lauren and Joe's wedding site, the sand was so pretty and white where we were. It was Indian Shores, I think. I just went for a walk and there is some snow but not everywhere. Sand one day, snow the next. What a feast we had in Florida at lectures. Now to come home and reap the benefit of what we learned.

I'm just so missing having been there... I've been praying about you for this steadily since we last talked and I wanted to be there so much. And I miss you guys. But HAPPY BIRTHDAY with LOTS of love :) and hugs to being a grandma!

by mr_and_mrs_berry at 02/04/10 7:39PM
You're just beginning the good years. Enjoy that grandchild when it comes, and thanks for being so nice to my sister's family!

by beunsung at 02/04/10 11:02PM
Seems fitting that you become 50 and a grandmother in the same year. I think it's perfect!! Happy Birthday!!!

by crazy_mama at 02/05/10 12:13AM
Fifty is an EXCELLENT year in which to become a grandma! Blessings be upon you in heaps, my dear one.

by lori_in_pa at 02/05/10 6:11AM
Already told you, your presentation was wonderful and told you congratulations on becoming a grandma, but didn't know it was going to be your birthday! Happy birthday - my birthday is coming up soon, and I will be at least 50! :)

Happy late birthday, Mrs. Bingham! This is Andrew Yeater.

I missed your birthday! Hope you had a lovely celebration.
Obviously I'm late congratulating you on the news of your first grandbaby too!
You'll be the bestest Grandma in the whole world!
Love you!

by 7laughinghardmans at 02/09/10 7:41AM
I must say, you have aged quite gracefully and I would have been none the wiser to know that you were turning/turned fifty. :) I love you and your family so much! You have raised such good children. I certainly hope to be like you when I "grow up"! Have a good day!

by heidiw at 02/09/10 2:31PM
The bag with your package in it was the one which got lost, but it has now been recovered. Laura and I went ahead and opened the package without Meghan, though we saved the tissue paper, and quite enjoyed looking through the books :). Thank you!

by august28rose at 02/10/10 10:39PM
Thank you so much!

by essie at 02/12/10 12:58AM
Just wanted to pass along something - I love you. I love your family. I love your kids. Thank you so much for being part of our lives :)

also - ^ - we re-wrapped it and it is on M's bed awaiting fun after she returns on the 23rd. :) We laughed and laughed and laughed some more!

by mr_and_mrs_berry at 02/15/10 10:41AM

by snoopy at 02/15/10 8:57PM
i did enjoy it! it was great! i do want to see it on Broadway though. i really want to see it done by professionals but it was still fantastic!

by bethels at 02/15/10 9:22PM
He will be coming home, and we are going to be glad to see him! But I am sure that he would be just as grateful to hear such a generous offer from you in person! :) And thank you for your prayers!! That means more to us than you can possibly imagine...well, maybe you can. :) I love you tremendously!!

My niece, Lynn, had a 9 lb, 2 oz boy on Dec 30. He's beautiful, and his name is Griffin Moore Gonzales. : ) We are so happy. Wish you could see all the cure pix I have.

by motherofall at 01/02/10 8:15PM
He LOOKS big!

by bestill at 01/03/10 12:13AM
He is big! 9lbs 2oz! Congratulations Lynn and I can't remember your husband's name. Hugs, Melanie to you all.

by mr_and_mrs_berry at 01/03/10 1:53PM
No need to thank us, we would have been sad to miss his visit.
Love you!

Happy Day!

at 12/24/09 9:43AM *

Warm wishes to all of you on this Christmas Eve. I celebrated early by winning (dramatically, I might add) at a Settlers' game with the clan. They are still trying for 2nd and 3rd places, leaving me to update here and make the pies. (They did not really seem to rejoice with me --except Mom, who was for me all the way! Of course, she was not playing, just watching and commenting.) It's very wonderful to have so many back under our roof.

I DO miss my Joseph and Lauren though, and we SO wish they were here (or us there)!! We'd love to see your snow! But I am happy to say that we are having some nice cool breezes.

I need to wrap a few more things and get to those pies.

Much love and merriness to you and yours.

Melanie

And to you all. :)

by jlmanager at 12/24/09 9:48AM
Merry Christmas, dear one of my heart. Kiss all the family who are around you for me.

by lori_in_pa at 12/24/09 10:32AM
YAY MRS BINGHAM!! Awesome!! That's so cool!

by snoopy at 12/24/09 10:38AM
Congratulations on the Settlers win, especially considering your competition!

by spellgage at 12/24/09 10:41AM
Congrats on the Catan victory!!! Good for you! :-)

by engelishgentleman at 12/24/09 2:16PM
Do you remember the cloth coasters you made for Mark for Christmas when you
were with us? I think I'm right about this--many moons ago. Happy Holidays!!!

by frances at 12/24/09 3:32PM
Merry Christmas - so happy you have most of your family with you!

by video_nana at 12/24/09 9:59PM
We played Settlers a couple nights ago. The guys are playing tonight while I bake cookies and prepare the egg and sausage casserole for tomorrow AM. I think it's pouring down rain in Chicago tonight. I might be wrong but that's what is happening here and in Davenport.

by bestill at 12/25/09 12:08AM
We just played our first Settlers (Meghan, Brian, Catherine, Craig (with me as partner who also answered phone) and Catherine won. Craig and I lost BADLY! Next time. Miss you. Very Much.

I am absolutely gleeful about the gift I just received and watched: a DVD of Joseph and Lauren's wedding day!! I don't even REMEMBER anyone taping things, and now Lauren has taken it all (or someone did) and made a lovely memory of the whole day - with music and such fun embellishments. I just couldn't stop smiling the whole time I watched - even when I was crying! : )

Thank you, Lauren, and all of you great people who were involved in that wonderful occasion!!

cool!

by micah at 11/05/09 4:34PM
Aren't pictures of special occasions wonderful! I'm glad to live in this age of memory-making machinery.

by frances at 11/05/09 4:56PM
Spiffy! I wonder if anyone was taping Kevin and Amanda's wedding? I can't remember...

by engelishgentleman at 11/05/09 5:35PM
Enjoy the DVD. It´s so much fun to look back on special events.

by hmjmom at 11/05/09 6:13PM
ooo! I want to see it!!

by snoopy at 11/05/09 10:39PM
I thought you might like to see this. :)

by mayflower at 11/06/09 7:45AM
Oooohhh! The next time you visit, you'll bring it with you, please? I would love to see it and enjoy "being" there. :)

by laurar209 at 11/07/09 4:46PM
Sean Malone did the video. Glad you liked it. Sorry I was so busy when I mailed it that I didn't put in a note.

by sunshinelove05 at 11/11/09 4:53PM
We had a wonderful time - yes, we're still trying to adjust to the 13 hour time difference between Perth and here. Also, have had to deal with heating problems - they came out for the third time today. Hopefully, it is fixed, but we're thinking purchasing a new furnace is in our near future.

by video_nana at 11/21/09 1:53PM
I'm glad my nephew did a good job. Glad he has had time now to do projects like that.

by joes_wife at 11/26/09 9:55PM
How wonderful!!!

by cdillman23 at 12/06/09 9:25PM
Hope you and your family had a lovely Thanksgiving!!

by 7laughinghardmans at 12/07/09 6:11PM
I'd love to have tea with you!!
Can I come?

by 7laughinghardmans at 12/10/09 10:25AM
So neat! What a nice way to keep the memories. :)

by aprilstarr at 12/19/09 1:12PM
! will definitely let you know when they come back to PA. Right now everyone safe (and dry -- no snow in NC!) down there. They're still planning on driving back tomorrow -- the weather should be clear (here) by Sunday AM.

It stopped snowing just a little while back and I think we have about a foot! We may get some more overnight. It's so incredibly beautiful. :)

by laurar209 at 12/19/09 9:54PM
happy
