Helping... again... ...

Last weekend I got the crazy idea to start sewing again.  Well PK thought he was a good helper.  If that means sitting in the middle of the material, stealing the measuring tape, wanting the scissors, puking in the middle of the material from throwing a fit; then yes, he is the biggest helper!!  Who needs help?

Today I am thankful for my job. It challenges me; I get to work with numbers and it puts the food on the table.

Today I am thankful for the nurses/care at Blank Children's Hospital.  When we toured hospitals we didn't really pay much attention to their NICU or story behind what they provide.  Little did we know we would be getting to know the nurses and features of the NICU all too soon.  We were fortunate we only spent 9 days there.  Other little ones have spent far more time there.  The care they provided in a stressful time was something we can never thank them enough for.

Now today little Armor has came down with pneumonia and has been admitted into Blank to spend some time getting better.  Praying the little guy gets to feeling better soon!

Today I'm thankful for my mom.

The sacrifices she's made and continues to make for our family I will probably never truly understand. I thought I knew before, now understand so much more how much she was there for all of us.

There was years where my dad worked nights and it was her taking care of everyone and holding it all together. Never once do I remember her complain or even get a break. We knew no different. Maybe we thought all moms could hold us all together so effortlessly.

Having Parker gives me a new appreciation for how much work and worry truly goes into a child. Maybe it got easier as we grew up but I have a feeling she is now caring and worrying about nine "kids". We still rely on her as much as we always did. I'm sure the text at 4am asking if she was awake; I think my water broke was just a tad stressful. Had she not waited for my dad she might have beat us to the hospital. :) Just one example of the rock we rely on.

Thank you mom for all you have done and for everything you continue to be to this family. We love you.

Today I am thankful to be from the United States of America where I have the right to vote. People can complain all they want about the ads and the politicans but it wasn't that long ago as women we did not have the right to do so. I took PK with me this morning and got our vote on!
