Parenthood

There is a tv Steve and I like. Parenthood.  It's about families and their lives.  Last night had many "issues" going on, as usual.  Steve and I were zoned in on 1 circumstance.  A mother of 3 has cancer.  And due to her chemo she had a bad infection and was in ICU on Christmas eve.  They told her husband she might not make it. He cried, asking God not to take her.  (That's the short version).  Steve and I sat there intently watching, I had tears streaming down my face and Brooke just STARRED at me.  You could tell she wanted to say, "what is your problem?"  
Steve laughed at her.  We talked about if she'll ever understand the magnitude of emotions we have because of her.  Will she ever understand 4 years ago, Christmas eve we uttered those same words to God.  Do we want her to understand?  She already thinks she's a princess, that information may not help the situation :)
But that's the past.  We are happy it's not now and thankful we have that situation to build off of who we are today.
Still have the stomach flu flying around this house.  I must admit my sympathy meter is getting low.  Most of my girls are not really whiny when they are sick, so that's good. It appears the last kid has it today, so hopefully we'll be good to go by tomorrow.
Brooke tends to hold onto the symptoms longer.  She is no longer dry heaving, but the other end is flowing quit freely.  We've gone WEEKS+ backwards on the feeding.  We are thankful she still has the button because it's gotten good use this week.  We were down to 2 feedings a day, but now we are back up to anything we can get in her. For some reason she will only eat ham right now (I assume it's the salt content she likes).  Maybe we'll try some bacon today.  However, she acts ok.  That's the main thing :)

(Notice there is no picture of Leah.  I was worried she would never talk to me again hehe,)

(These 2 are acting well.  Wild and crazy as always :)

 

Blessings to everyone!  Christmas is just around the corner.  Have a great time enjoying each other and remembering the reason we all gather together.  If you get annoyed with the parties/people and are too busy, please take time to be thankful you have people to get together with and love.
