Well I had my (I'm sure to be only the first talk) about death with Caleb.
Yesterday was the memorial service for one of my dear friends who passed away 2wks ago. On top of that happening I had a MD appointment first thing in the morning with a new eye doctor who told me that the problems were not caused by the diabetes and there was no evidence of potential damage from the diabetes yet but just plain "you are over 40" speach in other words I AM GETTING OLD!!!! So now bifocals for me folks.... We had some real severe weather come through yesterday as well. Caleb is still extremely afraid of lightening and thunder especially those explosive ones that shake the house to it's foundation. He was clung to me like white on rice as they say.......
Now back to the topic at hand. During that storm my mother in law was on her way back to your house to watch the kids for me the 2nd time that day....THANK YOU MARY JANE YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!!!!! Anyway I was explaining to the boys that Gran was on her way back to play with them because mommy had to go to church and say good bye to a friend. Caleb started with all kinds of questions and comments about my friend going on vacation or to visit friends etc. Now you can't really lie about it so I told him this:
mommy- No Caleb mommy's friend died and went to live forever with God. She is so much happier there but that means mommy won't see her anymore and I need to go say good bye.
Caleb-She lives with God forever? but why? (his favorite question these days)
mommy- Yes forever. She was very sick and God said it was time to come live with Him. She is now going to never get sick again and can watch over us from heaven.
Caleb---mommy go to heaven to??? (with a stricken look on his face)
mommy- NO mommy is coming home I promise. I just have to go say good bye to her. I promise I am not going to heaven anytime soon....I will be home.
Caleb-ooooooooo ok mommy come home..... I LOVE YOU MOMMY (he yelled it)
that brought tears to my eyes made me feel good. But I think I handled the first thoughts and concept of dying and going to heaven with him well and that right now mommy is not going she will be here with him..
I ask that y'all please keep him in your prayers as he wrestles with this concept and that I can answer and help him understand even better if he comes asking again....
Blessings!

Well it's official! I know I shouldn't be getting on the scale here at home (MD orders) but I just couldn't help it.
I have officially (according to our scale anyway) gained back 10 of the 30lbs I lost in the first 3months since my lap band surgery. I know I shouldn't blame it all on the fact that I haven't been able to have a fill since December because my port got dislodged and flipped over. We are currently STILL waiting for our new insurance to approve the surgery to adjsut the port. I know I have not been following a strict low fat low/no sugar diet. I guess instead of beating myself up over it starting tomorrow it should go back to strict strict strict diet and get back into the gym!!!!!!!!
I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well everyone is back to health. Sarah is hand/foot/mouth disease free!!! The boys are both doing good too....
We spent the last 5 days at gran and granddaddy's house/ranch and took some pictures. I will post those as soon as I finish the camera and develope them. I will also try to post some when my sil downloads the pics that Richard took on my mil's camera and sends them to me.

Well it has sure been a busy time in our house lately. At any given moment someone in the house is sick with something. Its sure has been a bad winter for everyone not just our house. I am currently making a big pot of chicken soup for a friend who has her 3kids down with the creapy crud but her husband came down with it last nite. It is so bad in their house they had to take 2 of their boys to the ER because of dehydration. I think we all need to do some decontaminating of our houses.
Right now Sarah has hand/foot/mouth disease. From what I have research I have done is it is a virus that just shows up with no rhyme or reason. Poor baby ahd blisters on her hands and feet and rashes on all extremeities. The worse one is her thumb she sucks....now how to get a 15month old to stop sucking her thumb in hopes to heal it all up????? Robert ran a fever of 103 for 2 1/2 days and complained of a sore throat. We saw the MD and he said that it could be the beginnings of hfm disease for him to as he could find nothing really wrong. One of the first signs is an unexplained high fever... So today I went out and bought 3 cans of lysol and clorox wipes I am bound to get rid of this as soon as possible so no one else gets it.... If you want more info on hfm disease here is a link http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/revb/enterovirus/hfhf.htm. We really are clean people for the most part. Of course there is clutter with a 4yr, 2yr and a 15mo toys and such.
Sarah is mobile walking or rather running most times and chatters to beat the band. It seems like she has alot to say thats for sure. Caleb is just growing in leaps and bounds. As a matter of fact he put on a pair of jeans that just a few days ago fit just right but are now tooo short and tight in waist....LOL Robert is .....well Robert is 2......but a joy none the less.
The livestock and rodeo are in Houston it's that time of the year. We are going to take the kids tot he livestock show. They just love the animals. Spring break will be spent a couple days up with my inlaws visiting. Sarah's godparents will be down as well from Amarillo this will be our chance to see them and for them to go nuts on their goddaughter. I am excited. The rest of spring break will be spent on getting more of the old house done so we can put it on the market. It is so time to do that. We are just blessed that we haven't really had to rush to much as we own the house outright so we don't have 2 mortages. But it is time to finish it once and for all. Once it is sold we will purchase new furniture for the new house, swing set/jungle gym for the kids backyard, might do some renovations with the new house we talked about but we will see.
The last weekend of spring break I am hoping to go on a women's retreat with our church. I haven't been on retreat in 5-6years and sooooo need time with my Lord alone and time with me to recharge.
Well that is about the update for us.... I know I know I know where are the pictures??????? I do have 9 cameras I still need developed and then will do a photo posting jam session so be prepared.... they will probably be jumbled and out of sequence but they will be here.....
Blessings on you all
