Missed Halloween

This year I missed Halloween. Thank God for my Handsome! My back and ulcers took me down that day. I spent the day pretty much in bed. My sweet Handsome got me some medication and rub for my back and I pulled out the Nexium and prayed all day for God to relieve the pains. Thankfully I was able to sleep a little thru it but it did seem like every time I started to fall asleep someone would come in my room to talk to me. My loving Handsome took the boys trick or treating and they had a great time. He also took some pictures. I still have yet to down load those….maybe tomorrow. Austin handed out candy and the little boys only did a couple streets but they had a great time. I plan to not miss next year…make it bigger and better than ever since I missed this year.

Relearning Lessons Can be Painful

I’m relearning that no matter how much you love someone if they don’t love themselves they will continue to make bad choices…continue to hurt themselves over and over again. I can’t stop them with words, hugs or providing a safe place for them. In fact providing a safe place for them to continue to hurt themselves will only prolong this choice. UGH! I would be enabling them to continue this…so with a breaking heart I stopped. I pray one day…very soon…they are able to see clearly how they are hurting themselves and stop. Never stop praying….God’s timing is perfect and He always answers prayers. Sometimes with a no but He answers. I have found He tell me to wait a lot. So in this time of wait I will continue to pray and keep my eyes on God and be thankful for all things…even those that break my heart.

Meet Jr.! He is 15 months old and full of laughter.

I'm looking forward to seeing him grow and change.

He loves to run around the fireplace and play with Max.

What a sweet young man!

Happy Bunch

Monday Lauren was out of school. The little guys and I were thrilled to have her here. I had to get a picture of the 4 together. I love that Olivia's new smile has her tongue hanging out! We made a chocolate cake and had fun with the dress up clothes.

Prayers

At each age, stage and understanding each child prays differently. Here is the prayers of my little men….

Dear Jesus, thank you for this food and thank you for everything in the whole world. Amen.
Liam

Thank you Jesus for mom, dad, Austin, Liam, God , Jesus, Kendall, me, Lauren, Aunt Kim, Uncle Terry, Aunt Joyce, Krysta, Cassie, Olivia, Eunice, Tony, Brandon, Kylan, Jennifer. Amen
Beau

Liam is trying to say a fast thank you and get on with eating without leaving anything out. Beau lists everyone he can remember and doesn't care if the prayer lasts 10 minutes he wants to not leave anyone out.
