Miracle and Musings

Reese is walking. He was 11 months old yesterday.

He is also NOT having surgery Friday. We have ourselves a miracle. God healed his eye! For eight days, there has not been a single solitary thing in his eye. Clear as clear can be. I cannot begin to explain to you what a miracle this is. I am not exaggerating when I say that I cannot remember a day since he's been here, that I haven't wiped goop out of his eyes. I have been so excited all week every time I thought about it... which was a lot.

I just wanted to put this in the records books, and let those of you who might have been praying, start praising.

It's been a busy month.

I haven't taken a single picture of anybody or anything.

I have participated in two yard sales, one at my house, the other at a friend's.

I had the carpet cleaned.

We've painted a few closets.

I've read several books that have encouraged me greatly.

Elle and Grady had their first sleep over. A friend's husband had surgery and needed some help with her kids. I had five kids 5 and under. It was awesome.

Elle's last day of school is this week. Followed by her end of the year musical. Which happens to be on mine and Steven's 10 year anniversary.

We always said we'd go to Hawaii on our 5th. Elle was born 10 days after our 5th anniversary.

Then we said we'd go on our 10th.

We have 12 days until we leave for a week at Disney World. Close to Hawaii, don't you think?

Maybe it will happen on our 15th.

We've told Grady Mickey won't let him in if he continues to pick his nose.

Elle made a paper chain to count down the days.

I ordered some swimsuits 14 days ago and after talking with several people on the phone, I'm convinced they are lost. The question is, will I get a refund or will the company send me more suits?

I already sent some back that I ordered from Land's End. They fit terribly. But let's face it, after having three kids and nursing all three, swimsuits just aren't what they used to be... or maybe it's my body in them:).

I've seen a lot of dead snakes in the neighborhood lately. At least they are dead.

There's only one more episode of Lost and then the finale. Sad times for me. Possibly my all time favorite TV show. At least, it's the only one I currently watch.

That's all for now. Maybe I'll have some pictures next and not as many words.
