Christmas..

Boy its been crazy around here the past few weeks!! We have had Nana in the hospital (twice).. 1st time she was having internal bleeding and the 2nd time was because she develpoed a staph infection from the 1st visit! I am happy to report that she is scheduled to return home today! YAY!
Then 2 days before Christmas Mama decided to fall and spend the night at the hospital. Thank the Lord she didn't break anything, but she is in alot of pain and bruised up quite a bit. So we have had a very stressful Christmas season.. and we are happy that it they are still here with us! We love the grandmothers sooo much!

Then there was CHRSTMAS! We have a Christmas Eve service every year at our church with the kids being in a "living nativity".. that was cute and exhausing!!
Then on Christmas Eve I still had to prepare the omlettes for the morning and make the coffee cake and wrap more gifts.. lets just say it was a very, very, long night!!

The truth is .. I wouldn't trade the craziness and the over excited children ANYDAY! I love the way they get soo excited and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. My wonderful husband who loves me and works so hard to provide for us.. and my 4 children who I love more than words can describe.. they are amazing!!

Now we are cleaning up from Christmas and preparing for the New year.. 2010!

My Birthday Boy!!

Tomorrow will be my son Gabriel's 14th birthday.. How does time go by so fast?

Seems like yesterday that he was stubborn and wouldn't come out.. he was almost 2 weeks late! I remember the night I had him - I was induced and was in labor for over 12 hours.. it was snowing and everyone I loved was there to welcome him into this world. He was so cute and I was so happy that he was finally here!
I can still see him running around in his coveralls and flannel shirts.. trying to walk in his Daddy's boots and carrying around his Toy Story "Woody" (he never went anywhere without it.. and yes he still has it)
I can't believe that he is going to be 14! He is such a sweet and sensitive boy that still "loves" on his Momma. I pray that he contiues to strive to be a man of God and always put Him first.
I thank the Lord that he chose me to be his Mother.. I am so blessed.

I love you Gabriel Michael.. You make me so proud! ♥
