So It has been a really long time since I have blogged on here. I have good intentions but things in life just keep moving faster and faster. but I had to take a minute to share about the past weekend. We woke up on Saturday morning to Ashtyn our oldest girl looking like the walking dead. She was pale with hot pink cheeks. her temp was over 104 so it was off to the ER we went. after 3 hours and and the test results were in we found out she had strep throat and the flu. Pretty nasty combination. So antibiotics, fluids, and rest are the way to go only problem...her 1 and 2 year old sisters that do not know how to live life with out big sis around. Thankfully Papa and Nana took Avery the 2 year old away so we could get a 24 hour reprieve but as soon as she got home she wanted to know where sissy was and why she could not snuggle up with her. Bed time was intense these two share a bed and when she found out she was going to be alone it was on. It took all I could do to hold her down and try to explain that this was for the best for her she did not want what sissy had. eventually she gave up snuggled in and hit they hay. Ashtyn has enjoyed the weekend because i broke out some walkie talkies and she has been able to call in her demands from her quarantined perch on the 2nd story. More gatorade, more jello, another movie, you get the idea. All in all it has been amazing to see how much they love each other from blowing kisses across the room to air hugs they just can't wait to play with each other.
As I drink a cup of coffee this morning trying to knock out as much work as I can I had to stop and laugh thinking how I hope they will love each other like this forever. I never thought I would have 3 kids much less 3 girls but I would not want it any other way. God has to just look down here at times with one of those 1/2 smiles like "I knew you could do it, I knew you were the man for the job, you just didn't know."
This
video may say it best!
He is right, there are so many times I wonder how we even survive, the regular daily grind, but somehow we do. I am thankful for each moment with them even the walkie talkie ones.
