Prayer Request for Joyce Keenan

As some of you may know, my sister Angela is mentally challenged and lives in a group home close to Baton Rouge.


Many of my friends and family have met Joyce Keenan, Angela's wonderful home manager for over 10 years.  Unfortunately, Joyce is again fighting kidney cancer for the second time. Those who have met Joyce know she is an inspiring woman who has always gone far beyond the title of "home manager" and is considered a part of our family and many families of those she cares for.

I ask that you pray to help give Joyce the strength to guide her through this very difficult time. Please also pray for strength for my sister and the ladies of her home, Mustard Seed. Joyce's illness has thrown their very structured world into chaos and they are scared and unsure of the future.

My family appreciates all your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you, Lisa

Quick Ryan update....

They nurse forgot to measure Ryan on Wednesday so she came back Friday and Ryan is 25 1/2" long!

We had a busy weekend (me working on my ebay store & Joey cleaning yard), but it was a good one.  We got to spend some quality time together (which we hardly get to do).  Joey and I also got to catch up on some shows on Tivo, Alec & Joey went to see A Christmas Carol, and I got to watch some great football games this weekend. 

Hope everyone has a great week!

Here's an update on Ryan:

The nurse visited today and he weighed 14 lbs. 15 1/2 oz., thisclose to 15 lbs.  He received his 2nd RSV shot today and the nurse said he is doing fine - lungs clear and heart good!

Ryan is now eating all the vegetables and fruits in the baby food category 1, as well as cereal and his formula.  He seems to like them all (at least for now)

Right now he is smiling and laughing at me and trying to tell me something! LOL

I'm busy, busy on ebay with the holiday season.  Things are selling like hotcakes and that's good because it keeps me out of trouble!

Joey is working on several projects and his police station is just about complete and ready to move in.  He worked long and hard on that one.  I think the next project he's in charge of is a new fire station.

Alec is so geared up for the holidays.  He just loves when it gets cooler and everything starts getting decorated for Christmas.

Hope all our friends and family are doing well!

Hi,

We hope everyone is doing well!

We are revamping our blog to include the entire Fontenot family.  So please visit often to find out if we are staying out of trouble and what we are up to!  We will, of course, keep updating Ryan's progress.

Speaking of, Ryan is almost 15 lbs.!!!  He's come a long way since 1 lb. 13 oz.  He is doing really well, although September and part of October was rough with illness.  But now he is doing better and had his first RSV shot so we hope that helps.

Ryan celebrated his first Halloween on Saturday.  The cute little pumpkin outfit he's wearing in the picture is the exact same outfit Alec wore on his first Halloween.  Alec really wanted his little brother to wear it.  Alec is probably just about on his last trick or treat year.  He feels he's getting too old for trick or treating, but not too old for candy!  I completely agree.

Lisa is working hard with the retail store, ebay store and website.  The holidays are extremely busy, but she really enjoys everything she's doing.  It seems there are not enough hours in the day, but she makes sure she's makes time for her 3 boys (hubby included) and football. (LOL)

Joey is busy working on several projects and one of he's in charge of is really close to being completed.

Hope everyone stays well and has a wonderful week!
