Happy Thanksgiving! (almost)

Thanksgiving is around the corner. It took me a while to figure out why people kept posting on Facebook things they are Thankful for. I think Thanksgiving just snuck up on me. I can't believe the Holidays are here! When I was in middle school and high school I can remember thinking time NEVER moved! I would be stuck that age FOREVER!! Now I can't slow it down. I don't care if I age so much, but I LOVE the ages of my kids and I want to soak it all in. There is always something to laugh at, or someone. I am thankful for each and everyone of them. For teaching us daily about how to be parents and how to allow God's love and grace to lead us through each day. I'm thankful for our parents, for solid christian upbringings, unconditional love and support. My parents have been my rock! They believed in me, when I didn't believe in myself. They listened, cried and supported me. My dad always has a "phrase" (either real or made up :) telling me how I CAN do anything I put my heart and mind to. I want to be that kind of parent to my kids.

Onto Miss Brooke......I actually typed this yesterday but didn't post it. So today I must edit :) Brooke has had a virus brewing since last week. We thought she was teething, then realized when Macy was heave hoeing that is was a stomach virus. It's been a little rough the last couple days trying to keep fluids down her. She's had diarrhea and dry heaving. So we open her stomach button and out comes the goods. Today she laid around. She moved from living room to kitchen to bathroom floors and just slept. As bad as it sounds, she actually looked pretty good. So do ya call, or wait?!?!?! Macy got over it in 12 hours, Brooke was working on 6 days. OK I called but said, "she is not admission worthy." Well I don't make the final decision, I just drive her around :) So she's going to hang at the "spa" aka, Devos Children's hospital, only for a day or 2. Get some fluids and then we can restart her feedings in the morning. I was there with her and Macy all day. Macy was AMAZING! She hung out with her sister, they played and held hands. So cute!! Steve is there now and if she doesn't come home tomorrow we will switch and fall back into our routine. She really does look good. Steve said she even ate a potato chip! I still don't believe him but whatever!!

So Thanksgiving may not be as we planned but that's ok. It always works out and we are at peace by getting this taken care of. Get her a little tune up and back at it. I am so Thankful to have the Spa so close and to have MD's, PA's and nurses that care and feel like family. We love them all up there and are so blessed!!

Nappy time!
The girls hanging out! They always find something to do.
