The Latest Happenings
Lauren went to her first Homecoming this year. She looked beautiful, and had a fabulous time. I can't help but ask myself - how in the world can I have a child that is a freshman in high school?
My parents came to visit over Fall Break. We had a great time visiting, playing, and eating. Olivia got to meet Nanny and Bumpa for the first time. She was actually very smiley for them, although one can't tell by looking at the picture!
This past week, Colorado was hit with an October winter storm. At our house, we got over 2 feet of snow! The kids had 3 snow days off from school, and had a great time building a snow fort in the front yard. Yesterday, the sun was shining and the temp was above 50 degrees. I am not going to complain about the sun, but now our yard is a big muddy mess.
Olivia is still in the hospital, but is scheduled to come home around November 16th. Not much has changed with her health. She had a second heart cath 2 weeks ago, and some of her pulmonary veins had restenosed. The doctor was able to dilate them again, and is very pleased with the results. Since her hospitalization in September, Liv had lost some of her developmental milestones. The doctors have been concerned that she has some developmental delays due to her lack of oxygen and sedation, but she is proving them all wrong. She is back rolling and reaching for her toys. Praise God!!! We are so anxious to bring her home...November 16th can't come fast enough!

~ life ~ love ~ family ~
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psalm 139:13-16

tired
This describes me today. I am exhausted. I am tired of packing, moving, and cleaning. I look forward to getting settled into our new house, but really, I am looking forward to my head hitting the pillow...in about 5 minutes.
