In Less Than 24 hours...

I will be on a plane flying to Alaska:) My flight leaves at 7 am in the morning. I am VERY Excited and VERY nervous. Both of these emotions together and giving me butterflies in my stomach. I am excited for one to be going back to Alaska and two, it will be like a second honeymoon for us. We have so many neat and exciting activities planned. Shane and I have not spent Valentines together in over 4 years. So, now to the nervous part. One of course being the volcano that still hasn't blown. It appears to be calming down some so I am praying the thing decides to go back to sleep. And then I'm nervous, worried, or whatever you want to call it about being away from my girls. My Mom is like another Mom to them so it's not that I'm worried about. It's just the fact of being away from them that scares me. Lastly, it is going to be sad when it comes time to say Good-Bye know Shane will be leaving for Afghanistan in just a few short weeks:(

Round 2

My kids have strep AGAIN!! They were still on antibiotics from last weeks diagnosis. Now a different antibiotic for 10 more days.

Alaska and the Volcano

Lord willing, I am leaving Friday morning to fly to Alaska for 9 days:) Right now, I am a little afraid because of the Volcano "Redoubt" that is expected to erupt at any time. The volcano is about 100 miles from Anchorage, however, the Ash could still be very harmful to those in Anchorage. Please say a little prayer about this. I pray that hopefully it "goes back to sleep", but if it does erupt I pray the wind is blowing in the opposite direction and no one will be affected by it. If it does erupt and the ash goes towards Anchorage, I pray everyone will be safe and unharmed.

6 Years Ago Today…

My Beautiful Baby girls were born at 6:26 and 6:27 pm, 7 weeks before their due date. After enduring 7 months of EXTREME sickness, throwing up continuously every day , numerous hospitalizations, changing (well shane did) the catheter that went into my leg (huge needle) everyday that attached to a pump I wore on my side that pumped medicine into me 24 hours a day, preterm labor at 28 weeks, bed rest, pre -eclampsia, and hospital bed rest, my sweet and beautiful girls made their appearance into this world via emergency c-section.  I will NEVER forget hearing their tiny little cry for the first time. The NICU team allowed me to have a quick look and took them away to the NICU. After a couple of hours in recovery, they took me to see my miracle babies. God gave me those little girls to love, to care for, to nourish, to discipline, to teach, and to raise them in a Christian home. They are my little blessings, challenging ones at times, but I wouldn’t trade a moment of it. Today,

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL GIRLS!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU !

Back From the Doctor

The girls have strep and the rash to go along with it.

My Babies are SIck:(

The girls have been running a pretty high fever since Saturday morning:( They have just been laying around which is VERY UNUSUAL for them. I called the doctor this morning, and they have an appointment at 3 this afternoon.

A Day at the Park

It was a beautiful day so I took the three girls, Kelsey, Kaley, & Sarah, to the new park they built in Duncan.
