FOR TODAY... December 28, 2010

Outside my window... It is cold out there!

I am thinking... of my beatiful niece!

I am thankful for... Arkansas Children's Hospital

I am wearing... Pink Lounge Pants, Brown Turtleneck, and a Dark Green TShirt w/ Gingerbread People on it.

I am remembering... My boys' big eyes on Christmas morning.
I am currently reading... Me, Myself, and Bob by Phil Visher (the man who made Veggie Tales),Love & War Devotional for Couples by John & Stasi Eldredge, and The Inheritance by Louisa May Alcott.

From the learning rooms... We are taking a break til the end of the year, then hitting the books again on the 3rd of January. The boys have been learning many interesting facts about our Solar System. They got to watch the Lunar Eclipse last week. They LOVED it. We are gonna try something different for Blake, and see if we can't get him to learn to read soon.

I am creating... a schoolwork schedual for the month of January.

I am hoping... That Reagan will continue to improve, so she can have her surgery soon.

On my mind... Our niece, Reagan. She was born in November, and they discovered she has several holes in her heart, and her Pulmonary and Aortic Arteries are swapped. They have to do Open Heart Surgery soon.

Noticing that... My baby is no longer a baby! :(

Pondering these words... "Our lives are lived moment by moment, in increments we can actually handle. Our marriges are lived the same way. Not anniversary to anniversary or even month to month, but daily-in the ordinary ins and outs of time." from Love & War Devotional for Couples by John &Stasi Eldredge.

I am hearing... The boys, enjoying their Christmas gifts from the Grandparents!

From the kitchen... Ugh!

Around the house... Another Ugh!

One of my favorite things... Baby Nieces!! My "Little Rose" (Reagan) is so sweet and tiny and wonderful!

A few plans for the rest of the week: To get the house caught up before time for school to start back up.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
                                               

Reagan Olivia (my "Little Rose") just a couple of days before she went home from Children's.

 Right after her procedure to have a stint put in one of the holes. They wanted to make it bigger, to allow more oxygen in her heart, and to help her get strong enough for the open heart surgery.

Isn't she precious? After 3 sons, and 7 grandsons, my In-Laws are overjoyed to have a Granddaughter. We pray for her health.
