Wednesday

Oh what a crazy busy Wednesday and it's not even over yet!

Sore neck

I had my thyroid biopsy/cyst drainage today. Let's just say that having a needle stuck into your neck multiple times is not a situation I care to go through again. I will have a nice black and blue mark on my neck by morning and it is currently very sore. It was numb but there is no more numbness and now it just hurts. I am hoping that the cyst doesn't come back and that the biopsy is normal:)
On a side note I met a very nice ultrasound tech that I had a lot in common with. She made me feel very comfortable with what they were doing and afterwards we had a nice discussion about essential oils and what not. Nick sat patiently for an hour and a half until it was done- even though he wasn't allowed back. I could have gone myself but he wanted to be there and that was nice knowing and having him there.
Thank you Lord for the wonderful people you have put in my life.

Update

The little girl is doing great! She is home with her family and they say that she could be up and walking within 2 weeks. Mom is doing better today. She was kind of in a state of shock but today was a good day. Praise God and thanks for your thoughts and prayers!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful St Patricks Day! We did with a parade and visiting with some friends. The kids had a blast rolling down the holland climbing back up it. On the way home we stopped for pizza and a DQ treat(daddy's idea, as if they hadn't eaten enough junk for the day:)!
All in all a lovely day...

Prayers...

A little girl that my sister takes care of was accidentally run over by her mom this morning. She has a shattered femur and a pocket of air by her lungs. She has already had surgery and is doing well but I think mom needs lots of prayers right now.... Thanks & God bless!

Happy birthday!

Happy 6th birthday Rebecca!!
I can't believe that she is already six! I remember the day I went to the hospital to have her because my cousin Sara was there having her little girl(both our 3rd girl) too! Emma was born on the 27th and Rebecca was born on the 28th! We had a wonderful nurse and I remember the lights were low and dim and once I was dialated she came quick! I remember the nurse saying-'Ok don't push I have to get a doctor!' I also remember not having a name for her because I wanted Zoey and Nick didn't :) She was born the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday and I remember somebody bringing us fish sandwiches from McDonalds.
She was very excited for her birthday present...she got an American Girl doll Josephina( thanks to One of Nick's cousins who's daughters out grew their dolls we were blessed with 3 of the book dolls and 6 of the itty bitty babies plus a ton of extras!!) They are nice dolls but I personally can't justify the money.
I am blessed this day and everyday with this beautiful little lady that God has given to us!
Happy birthday!!

Oh Monday's.....

The beginning of the school week, the return to reality, the long wait until the next weekend, the return to order and schedule..... it really does have it's pro's and con's. I feel like I was able to accomplish very little this weekend for some odd reason but it was a good weekend!

Friday I woke up nauseous and sick. I'm not sure why but I ended the day with a fever, some chill's, body aches, and a good dose of remedies and oils and by Saturday morning I felt great :) We made a quick trip to Treasure Chest to drop off some donations and then off to the library for some new books. Jo made some friends....

Audrey explored...

and tried to make a few of her own new friends too! There was a little boy she kept giving her ball too :)

 I finished a couple of things around the house and Nick and Charlotte were in the garage welding and cutting stuff for the farm truck.

We made it to Mass at 4:00 and had an anniversary party for his cousin later that night.
Nick zipping up Audrey after Mass :)

Anne and Audrey playing with dad's hat while he tried on boots

Sunday was nice day of hanging out with dad and buying him new "good" boots.  These are the ones that he picked out(I like them too:)!

Charlotte was disappointed she didn't get a pair but they are more than I typically spend on kids shoes so she would have had to use her birthday money to buy them and she didn't want to.

We had an early supper, then visited with Grandma and Grandpa for a couple of hours and home to bed with the kids by 7:00!
Nick and I were able to sit down and watch the movie 'Courageous'. It was a great movie with an amazing message. Here is the trailer if you are interested~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=i9VT_NBIVfs If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it! The acting had a few cheesy parts but the message was powerful. I will say that I cried more than once :)

Now I'm off to start school......

Have a blessed week!
