Home Sweet Home

Ok!!!! So it has been a while since I blogged, but here are the updates. Baby "L" is home from the hospital and is doing great. He has decided to start waking up at night again so sleep is much desired by me. However, after being in such a scary situation with him a little sleep seems very petty. This little guy is a treasure to us all and we will probably be a little freaked out for a while.

Next, we have now officially moved into our new house and are loving every minute of it. We have lovely neighbors and are beginning to see an end to the boxes. However, the best part about it is that Scooter Boo is home as early as 4:30 and we have the entire evening to be with him. I guess God let us go through this trial to show us just how blessed we are to have Big Papa home. We have been through the ringer these past 2 years and we are so happy to see the peace that is here. Welcome home Big Papa!!!!!

Well until we have a computer set up in the new house I will be a little silent on this end but hopefully we will be up and running soon. Until then you can see pictures of the kids if you click on to DANA K PHOTOGRAPY in my friends list and click onto the kids youtube link in her blog. It starts up on its on and it is such a great slideshow. And if you like what you see I can give you her number to set up your own photo session and create your own masterpiece of photos.

Until next time....have a great Thanksgiving!!!!!!

Please Pray!!!

To everyone who visits this site, I am asking you to please pray for our sweet Baby "L". Monday night he spiked a fever and we took him to the emergency room to discover that he possibly has bacterial meningitis. We do know that he has the bacteria growing in his blood and until they can perform a successful spinal tap to test the fluid for meningitis they have to treat him as if he does have it. He does seem to be getting better, however they are having to give him some very aggressive antibiotics and have tried unsuccessfully to retrieve any spinal fluid from him in the past 3 attempts of a spinal tap. Needless to say, poor Baby "L" is not happy with the world, and as any of you can imagine, me, his mommy (who is supposed to protect him at all cost) am feeling a little defeated by this sickness. Just please keep my sweet boy in your prayers.

Who Needs a Barber.....

......when you can just shave your head down to the bare skin and let your 6 year old do it for you? "F" came running when Big Papa called out that he needed a hair cut. All the girls love to shave his head and they are actually getting pretty good at it. I just have to do a few touch ups here and there, but hey, it sure saves money that we can use elsewhere.

Its Harvest Fair Time.....

....Thats just another name for Halloween that we church goin' folk say so we can enjoy the candy and costumes of Halloween without feelin' like we are celebratin' the evilness brought on by this event. Any hoo we went to the local church and had a blast riding on the fair rides and getting candy and eating funnel cake (Scooter's idea-no joke) and watching "B" get stuck in the fun house. We had so much fun we even forgot to eat dinner (unless you count candy as dinner).

Baby "L" was bundled in his multi-layered sleepers and Big Papa's knit hat. Not to mention the warmth of my body (because he wanted me to hold him the whole time). Aint he cute!?!

And Little "O" stole everyones hearts as he peered out from behind the big Superman cutout with his sweet big brown eyes and his cute little cat whiskers. He had no idea what he was looking through but it sure made for a sweet picture.

I dont think you could have found more excited girls then these three! They have been talking about this fall fair ever since we went there last year and they discovered this new excitement. "K" and "H" even rode on this crazy spinning thing that we were sure would make them throw up....nope but "K" did cry after she was off. She cant handle over excitement!!!

Along with their older sisters excitement and anticipation for the rides, these two were giddy for the candy. They played every game they could find to win candy and even made sure they picked things they could share with Little "O". It is so funny when you hear your children questioning strangers if their candy has milk in it. I guess they hear us questioning each other constantly to keep checks on Little "O"s allergies. I must say that boy ate enough suckers to make even me sick.
