Happy Things

Well, I need to catch up on a few photos I have never posted since all the craziness happened. And I needed to post about some Happy things, so here it goes.
My two sweeties. They love each other, well, most of the time.


Question? Why is it that every time you do something to or with one child the other wants to do it? Even if you aren't really doing anything.
Well, the kids loved playing with daddy. And as you can bet, it went on for hours. Ruby would scream and then he'd put her down and do it to Hudson and then she'd scream because she wanted to do it again.
My kids love to color and draw. And Ruby loves to draw with a pen. If I am at the computer desk doing anything, she thinks its time to draw. The other day, I made dinner for the first time in a long time. Because we've had so many meals brought in and I was so sick I couldn't and didn't have too. It was so nice. This is what peace and quiet looked like while making dinner.
Now if only it could always be that way.

We decided that we needed to do something fun with the kids because well, in 3 months because of everything with me and the baby we hadn't done anything and I hadn't been able to go anywhere. So we took the kids to dinner and a movie. We were shocked because they were seriously so good and ate all their dinner and we had the best time as a family. Then we took them to see Madagascar. We all loved it. It was so cute. Ruby is so funny, I don't even think she knows its called Madagascar. She calls it, "I like to move it move it." Every time she sees the poster, commercial or any toy for it, she sings the song.
Me and my cute date.
I also just wanted to thank you all out there for your love and support. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful family and friends who love us. We have felt all the prayers, support and love and just want to thank you all. We could not get through this time without you. We are hangin' in there. I feel so much better physically. I went to the Dr last week and he was shocked at how well my recovery is going. I have color in my face finally, the swelling is all gone, thank heavens, and my blood count is back up, not to normal but way better than it was. It will still take some time to fully recover and regain my strength, but I feel great. I am so glad I don't have to lay around anymore. Its been nice to clean my house, take care of my kids, go out, and just do normal everyday things. My Dr. reassured me again that I should be just fine when the time comes to have more children. He said in all his years as a Dr and his nurse said in all her 27 yrs, they'd never seen anything like my case and they were sorry it ended the way it did, but they were just grateful that it had a good outcome in the end with me. And I am too. I struggle with that sometimes, feeling guilty that I lived, but I know I was needed to be here for my family and especially with my kids. So I just thank Heavenly Father everyday for letting me live to take care of them and hopefully one day have more.
Thanks again. We love you all and thank Heavenly Father everyday for you all and for how truly blessed we are.

I think it is so cute that Ruby calls the movie, "I like to move it movie it." It is interesting the things that they pick up on. You look very good. I happy for you guys that you have had some normalcy (spelling?) in your lives. I hope your body continues to heal quickly.
