update

Well we got an update it's not much of an update but it's something. He didn't get started until just after 9 this morning and they said things are 'going as planned and on time'. Whatever that means esp since they've said anywhere from 4-10 hour window. They said they'll try to call again sometime around 2 so I'll try to actually talk to the nurse for that call and get more specifics on how much longer. But technically we're only 3 hours in so we could be a while longer. Hopefully not but at least things are "going as planned" so we'll take that for sure!!! I'll write again once we hear more.

I know what your day is like today, my son aiden had a 6 hour surgery last year and it was hard, 6 days in the hospital. I pray you have peace in your heart and mind right now. You are all in my prayers.

Why I'm here...

I am a busy part stay at home/part flex nurse mom who loves memory making and doesn't trust my own brain to hold all of the treasures that God gives me! I have a blog not because I think that my family and sweet children are any more special then any other children (well that's not entirely true, every mother thinks her kids are the best in the world so in that way I guess I'm normal). But I realized when my oldest daughter was born that my love of Creative Memories and scrapbooking became a horrible challenge to keep up with, with life's many distractions (ie, kids). We live in a small house with no assigned "craft room" to house the mess of scrapbooks. And from the start my daughter loved to be into any and everything I was into. Now add #2 in little Chloe and I fell grossly behind in picture and memory storage. I LOVE taking pictures and journaling! I easily forget my funny moments with them and my pictures can not be enjoyed stored on some hard drive in my computer! My sister put me onto this concept about 6+ years ago and it's worked wonderful for me. I keep up with uploading photos and journaling these precious simple moments in parenting and life and it's always backed up here on my site. (Thank you EBlogger!) Every year I then transfer my blog to a book making software program (I use Blurb.com) and order a hard copy of the year's events. It's not as expensive as all that card stock paper, stickers and albums that add up! This way only gets pricy when I order 3 of each year (a copy for me and Brian then a copy each for the girls to have one day). It's a system that works well for me. So, the moral of this story is enjoy my blog if you want but I am not on here to boast. I firmly believe God hates pride and I try hard not to take a displeasing pride in our life or children. It's tough when the girls bring us so much joy and we are proud OF them! And when we love them so much. Please don't think for a moment either that our life is as sunny and perfect as my photos show here. I don't post pictures of my low hormone grumpy mommy days, or the days we're bickering or stir crazy! Life is real, for everyone. For the most part I only post the good parts but the bad parts are still here. :) God says in His word He opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble so I will strive to be honestly humble in His eyes while always giving him the glory in the blessings I post here and that He gives us day to day. He is our rock, our joy and our salvation and I pray our life will always bring Him glory. Not us.
