WOW!

I had a surprise waiting for me at the mailbox today and it wasn't a bill or a credit card offer or even an

unexpected check~It was so much better!

It was a box of chocolates from my Dad...

He's been giving us these little boxes of chocolates since my sisters and I were little girls.

Receiving this in the mail made a good day an absolutely, positively, really fantastic day!

(granted it's not the best picture; flighty hair, chipped polish...but I just wanted you to see my excitement)

I've already taken the customary bite out of each one and am waiting for Trevor to get out of the shower so

I can share one or two chocolates with him.

Happy Valentines Dad! We cannot wait to see you guys next week~ I love you!

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

"What is joy if it is not written and what is love if it is not shared..."

Where does one start after coming back from an absence of 3 months? Life is not the same now as it was back in April. For better and for worse. Now days, we are much more laid back. We sit around a lot, never getting in the car unless Trevor is driving; we watch Psych and Cake Boss and Good Luck Charlie all day long, interspersed with house work that takes twice as long as it used to. Back in May, Trevor and I went to the Bahamas and spent long days in the sun, holding hands and wandering the island. It was a full week of missing the kids but enjoying our time together. We came away more aware of how much we love being home as a family and while trips away are good, we'd rather be home together. Of course, starting Monday of each week, we start looking forward to Friday night when we get a precious 4 hours out together with no kids... This past year, at least since Joshua started first grade, has been the toughest year of my life and I don't say that lightly. I've strugg...
