Life Is All Around

It's Christmas Eve...

Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

All I ever wanted 

all I ever dreamed of

everything I hoped

and all the things I prayed for

couldn’t hold a candle to what I’ve been given

I’ve been given what I need

A mansion on a hill or love like in the movies

perfect little dreams where no one has a problem

instead of all those things  thought I really wanted

I've been given what I need

Even when I didn’t understand

when I thought you had no heart

thank you for rejecting my demands

and always giving me the better part...

All I ever wanted 

all I ever dreamed of

everything I hoped

and all the things I prayed for

couldn’t hold a candle to what I’ve been given

I’ve been given what i need

 .

 

Hoot Hoot I'm Cute

Do I need to say any more?

Brooklyn Aimee

Today has been a hard day. It started before dawn with a trip to Phoenix Children's Hospital. Our little Brookie was such a good girl, and we are really proud of her! She had surgery today and is home doing very well. I can't lie, I've been kind of a mess... but I am thankful for good doctor's and caring nurses who take care of these little ones. As I sat in the waiting room looking around, seeing all of us parents waiting, clutching on to plastic bags filled with our child's belongings... this is just so wrong. I can't believe there has to be a whole hospital just for kids... kids who are sick. And I have one of the lucky ones, a kid that gets to go home the same day and doesn't have to spend Christmas in a hospital. 

Thanks to our friends and family who said lots of prayers for Brooklyn today! She's doing great and will be back to her old self in no time!

Maybe we can all just stop and take a second today to say a prayer for all of those little ones that are still over at Phoenix Children's Hospital....

We are so grateful for this princess!

It must be little doll week for me! These two beauties are cousins, the baby visiting all the way from Germany! They were both cute as can be, some of the prettiest eyes I have ever seen!
