Gracie's Really Big Boo Boo

My poor Gracie, She fell trying to step down to the toilet from the counter. When she did she slipped and fell face first into the tub. Tony called me at work and asked me for the the nurse hot line number and told me what happened. I have to say that I never imagined it to look like this. When I seen her my heart just broke. It was so much more swollen last night. We kept her close by during the night and woke her up every few hours to make sure she could speak clearly and walk. The nurse said to call back if she vomits twice. But thankfully no vomiting. This morning she is her normal joyful self. She is singing right now "His Banner Over Me Is Love" So she still has a song in her heart. She does go look in the mirror and check on her "Boo Boo" about every hour. Then she comes out and says "Momma I have a REALLY BIG BOO BOO this time hu?" I am just thankful that she is okay. Plus she is still smiling.

Just in a Thankful Spirit

I have just been in a thankful spirit today. I was making hair bows for Gracie today and I was so excited to be able to make something some what crafty. Since for what ever reason my parents crafty talent jean did not get passed down to me. At any rate it just led to me think about things that I am thankful for. So thought I would share some.

I am thankful for:

-My Lord who loved me enough to save me, and that we have the freedom to worship in the United States.
-My husband that works so hard to take care of me.
-My children and all that they teach me everyday.
-My job, it isn't always what I want to do but the Lord gave it to me.
-That gas in our town is down to $2.53.
-That the town police help with traffic by Courtney's school so we can make it out of the parking lot.
-Being able to have lunch with the Stones on Sundays and play games. We have so much fun and laugh so hard!
-My weight loss, and my husband being right there beside me to encourage me.

My list could go on and on but I will quit for today. Just things that I have been thinking about today while working on hair bows and around the house. I hope that maybe you might stop and think about what God has blessed you with lately.

Quick Picture

I thought I would post this. Tony took it on Sunday morning before church. I have been asked why there are not many pictures of me on the blog and there are probably a few reasons for that but for the most part it is me taking the pictures. At any rate here I am with Caleb Man. As you can tell we do not look much like mother and son. :( But he sure is a sweet little man. He saves his kisses for his Momma and will not share them even with his Daddy.

Cute Moments By Gracie

Just ran across some pictures of Gracie when she was a bit younger. I thought they were cute so I figured I would post them. She had gotten into some eye shadow that I had just bought. It was one of those moments you where you try not to laugh, and I should have scolded her for doing wrong but I asked Tony for the camera instead.




Gracie loves to play with just about anything. She had started playing with this bucket and the next thing you know she is inside of it. It looks like a tight squeeze. She was having a blast. What a blessing it is to watch her play and grow.
