French Toast Casserole

This is soooo good, you might even want breakfast for supper!

French Toast Casserole
1 loaf of French bread (cut into about 1”slices)
8 eggs
2 c. Half & Half
1 c. milk
2 tsbp sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg

Arrange bread slices in buttered 9X13 pan. In large bowl combine eggs, half & half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat until blended but not bubbly. Pour over bread, cover with foil and refrigerate over night.

The next day preheat oven to 350. Prepare praline topping and spread over casserole. Bake casserole for 45 min. Serve with your choice of syrup. Raspberry is BEST but I used strawberry and it is pretty tasty too!

Praline Topping

2 sticks of softened butter
1c. brown sugar
1 c. chopped pecans
2 tbsp light corn syrup
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp cinnamon

Pour all ingredients in a bowl, mix well. Spead/pour on top of casserole and WATCH OUT! This stuff if yummy by itself, not that I have tried it or anything.

Vicious Dog Attack!

A few nights ago Lex came into our bedroom and he was crying!
He said his leg hurt!
I am sleepy, so I told him I was sorry and asked him to go get back in bed.
Well, should it be so simple?
NO!
He starts really crying!
So I get out of bed....I love my sleep!
I go with him to his room, he is limping the whole time.
He gets in bed but will NOT STOP CRYING!
So I get him some Motrin and my nurse brain goes right to work.......I have about 5 diagnosis's for him in less than 5 minutes!
He is still freaking out!
I am freaking out!
He is rolling around in bed holding his leg, guarding his stomach!
I am thinking something is REALLY wrong with him and if this continues for much longer....
HELLOOOOO ER!
So I start rubbing his leg and praying over him!
Well, finally he calms down and he starts talking about this white dog that bit him on his leg!
WHAT white dog, I am thinking!
He then proceeds to tell me that this white dog bit him on his leg and stomach while I was riding my bike (I pull Lex in this trailer when I ride my bike and SOMETIMES these dogs chase us and bark at us.............but we have not ridden bikes in FOREVER!)
This little guy had a dream he was attacked by a dog and it was SO real to him....he was even limping!

Brady PRAISE report!

HE is HOME!
YEAH!
Mr. Brady went home on Monday, Feb.9 after a very long and stressful hospital stay~
The Lord is so good!
Thanks to the many, many who were praying for him and Steve and Kendall!
ALL TESTS were NEGATIVE!
YEAH!

A Prayer for Brady!

For those of you who missed out on the hoopla....I became an aunt to the sweetest little twin boy and girl in November!
Briley Grace and Brady Preston!
Well, last week both babies were hospitalized for RSV in San Antonio.
They appeared to be doing better and were released home on Saturday.
Well, shortly after being home on Saturday, Brady was taken back to the ER in Llano where he was air lifted to an Austin area hospital.
Despite multiple interventions Brady's condition was not improving.
He was put in ICU on Sunday.
He is STILL in the ICU!
While he has not gotten worse, he is really not getting any better and the doctors are starting to think maybe this is not RSV.
A pulmonologist (lung doctor) has been called in.
My brother-in-law and sister-in law are beat!
As a parent, when your child is sick you feel helpless!
Plus the 2 babies they have at home, Briley and Barret!
Please pray for them!
The Lord knows their needs and He can meet them!
He CAN heal Brady!
Steve and Kendall would really appreciate your prayers!
