I am a mom of a cutie pie (very biased). And I wanted to share my experiences with others (including my cuties grandparents, great-grandparents, numerous uncles and other relatives). I love being a mom and can't imagine doing anything else.Update
The last few days have been a bit rough. Alivia is getting a tooth (on the top I think) and is so crabby. Today wasn't as bad as yesterday because I started giving her tylenol for the pain (didn't realize that was why she was so crabby yesterday... oopps). Yesterday we hung out at home and did the laundry (it's been a while) and today we went to the park with Leslie (Eden and Aksel) and April (Samual and Grace). Had a great walk and played at the park. Tonight we went to Noah's t-ball game (the little boy I used to nanny). Can I tell you that 4 year olds playing any kind of organized sports is the cutest thing. I loved seeing him and Grant and Livi was entertained too.
Yesterday James found out that one of the guys that works for him got in a really bad car accident. He and his girlfriend and her two kids were traveling home from a wedding when they were broad sided by an SUV. One of the kids was killed, the other injured, the girlfriend injured (but will be released from the hospital hopefully tomorrow) and James' employee is in a coma. He punctured both lungs, his liver failed and he has a spine fracture. They aren't sure if he will make it or not. He is a nice guy and has been a loyal employee for a few years. We are very worried about him and praying he will recover quickly.
We got a message from the doctor. We are going to be admitted on Thursday to start treatments. We are going to be in for a few days. They just want to start the treatments with us in the hospital so they can watch and see how she reacts to the medicine (since they don't usually use them on someone her age).
I guess I'm numb. I want to get things going but at the same time and scared of the side affects. I want her to be better but I also dont' want her to have to get worse first.
Pray for
*a great day tomorrow
*good reactions to all the medicine
*no side affects (now or down the road)
*sleep when we are home and in the hospital
*wisdom for the doctors
*James' employee to heal quickly
thanks for today
suprise dessert from Dan and Julie (and Jude) so sweet
Margot Cole for running the half marathon in Alivia's name. That is so amazing!
We are all a bit overtired here. Hopefully tomorrow will be a peaceful day.

Emily,
I marvel at the quiet working of faith in your your heart. You are becoming a strong woman of faith and it glorifies God. Thank you for the reminder of God's sovereignty in the C.S. Lewis quote.
