White Christmas like 1987

Yep this is what it looked like :-D - okay I'll post something here later.

healing & holiday hurray

It has been a full day but a wonderful day for the most part.

I thought after 24 hours free of flu bug . . . it bit again. Poor, poor Faithy.
Yep she was bitten by the yucky tummy flu bug. :-( yikes !!! Ouch!!!!
Have prayed for her and for Haddy not to get bitten. Okay healing is what we desire here before hitting anyone else. I know we will make it. Emily and Tia are much better now so they empathise with her. For now the family is being wonderfully working together all day.

They have made Haddy's birthday blissful. It is great to see them all so very excited to make this birthday special for her. Tia even mentioned that it was wonderful because, "Mom, it will no longer be Christmas Eve for us but Haddy's Birthday, a time for us to celebrate!" with a huge smile upon her face. I agree! We all reminisce about what last year was like awaiting her arrival. This year we were all in a wonderful spirit of Holiday Hurray Cheer!

Singing Happy Birthday from the moment we awoke until we all laughed along with her excitement of opening her cards, her gifts and then diving into her cake! Joy! Today has been wonderful just WONDERFUL! The Birthday Celebration, getting ready for the day and the time to make our traditional reindeer cookies for a very special visitor to enjoy (of coarse much later when we are all sleeping ;-D ). Also for us to just get to be together as a family! I LOVED seeing all of the girls together.

May you enjoy your time together like we have! Merry Christmas to all and to ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!

Oh no . . . . tummy flu go away!!!!

Wow . . . got through that flu season until 2:30 this morning and our first little girl was Hit and bad.
Tia . . . poor Teeg . . . Not a good morning. We miss read this one; thinking it was from too many sweets. Waken from a dead sleep to rushing up the stairs to try and comfort our precious daughter was the fastest I've ever been awaken I think.

After trying to comfort her we set up a room to set herself to sleep hopefully. ;-( Not happening. Tia ended up staying home today from her last day of school. I just prayed that no one else would get "bitten by the bug". We just received a phone call from where Em was "staying the night" at a friends to hear she was getting sick and they didn't see it coming until it was too late. ;-( Oh oh . . . We rushed like crazy to go and get her to bring her home to be comforted; only to get her home and she was quickly needing TLC and our ever only "princess bed" set up when sick or scared. Now we have two down and hopefully no OTHERS!!! Disinfection round three~ Operation KNOCK OUT here we come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pray for us to not have anyone else get "the bite in the tummy" especially Haddy since she is only days away from her first birthday.
