Back to Normal

Ava did great during and after her dental procedure Wednesday. She is totally back to normal today. Thanks for all the prayers on her behalf. I actually woke up sick that morning and was unable to go with her and Cody to the hospital. Thank goodness Cody's parents were over here ready to help. Carol went to the hospital in my place, and Don watched Nate here at home. I just slept most of the day. I am back to normal today as well. Especially around this time of year my thoughts tend to dwell on what a blessing family is. I'm thankful for these two kids, and my wonderful husband that cares for them as deeply as I do, and for all our extended family and friends that love on the four of us. The gift of relationship is precious.
