As we knelt down for family prayer last night, Warren asked Sammie to say the prayer. Just be fore she started he said, “Make sure you say lots of thank yous.” And as we bowed our heads I could feel what was coming…..

Dear Heavernly Father,

We thank thee for this day and for Jesus.

Thank you ,Thank  you ,Thank you, thank you ,thank you ,thank you, thank you.

Jesus Christ

Amen

Have you ever wish you could read your children’s minds in hopes that you might just be able to stop them from saying something that will cause you to want to slide under a table and die?

Well just today my sweet little Sammie and Izzie came with me to Kassie and Abbie’s class to help with the Valentine’s party at school and they were behaving them selves when Sammie opens her mouth, and not in her quite voice, says, “Oh mommy she has a big bum.”

And as she is speaking I realize where she’s going with her sentence and tried to stop her with out causing a scene. But to my humiliation out it came. And for thoughts of you who know how loud she speaks, stop laughing and join me under the table of embarrassment.

And although the other mom is larger than my self, I quickly and quietly explained to dear sweet Sammie that  when she talks about people like that it can hurt her feelings. Sammie seemed to understand and look like she felt bad. 

Okay you can go back to laughing know.

Well I thought it would be Abbie and Kassie singing this song this Christmas, but their teeth just won’t come out.

But I guess Izzie must have been humming along because last week both of her bottom teeth came through. I’m a little sad because she had the best gummy smile I had ever seen.

She is also so proud of her self because she finally figured out how to crawl! What a cutie!

I’m writing this post to thank  Bill and Liz for the most amazing gift of kidness they gave our family. We love you and your family and are so blessed that you thought of us. And we hope to some day repay the gift you gave us by paying it forward to someone we know needs a little extra help.

About a week ago the girls and I came home from running some errands, and when we came home there was a package on the front porch. I jumped out told the girls to stay in the car so I could take it inside. They asked why and I told them it might be some Christmas presents.

So a few days later we were talking about Christmas and the girls were asking about the box that came in the mail. I told them I hid it. They then decided  they should look for it. A few minutes later Abbie came running over to me and said, “Mommy if you tell me where the box is hiding, I won’t look there.”

Sure Abbie, we believe you.

Sammie and I (Stacy) went up to Primary Children’s Hospital this past Monday for Sammie’s latest check-up.Everything went well she is continuing to stay in good health. Her weight gain, as usual, is on the low side. So we get to add to her “power packing,”  she gets to and needs to eat more of the good stuff we shouldn’t have and eat it more often. She had a chest e-ray taken’ since it had been over a year since the last one. The doctor’s  called and everything is clear and normal, YEAH!!! Her throat culture will come back next week here’s hoping for the same good news.
