Number One reason to be thankful for though is Emily's pregnancy!! Finally someone else for the "Four Littles" to dote over... selfish, I know... even someone else's baby is all about me! But we really are excited for Ben and Em to join us as new parents at these functions! They are going to be wonderful parents together... I can't wait to learn from them!
All the men congragate in front of the football game as usual...
We spent some time as a family praying for Jeff's health. The very next morning he went to the ER with a lot of pain. He had a CAT scan and it is showing that the infection that is in his intestines is still there and spreading, he will need surgery, it's just a matter of deciding if the time for that is now or if they can wait a little longer. He is going to stay in the hospital the rest of the week because they are trying to get some weight back on him. He hasn't been absorbing any nutrients... even with all of the work Angie has been doing for him with the juicing... and has lost 40 lbs. since March. The doc said they can't even talk about surgery until Jeff gains more weight. Anyway, this picture means a lot to me... I'm so grateful for my family... what a blessing to know everyone here has a personal relationship with Jesus!
Here are some adorable pictures of Aubrey from Thanksgiving....
This is the cute face she makes when the camera comes out...
Uncle Matt... Aubrey was working on widdling down his "10-year-plan" of no kids...
Some cute pictures of the sisters from the other morning...
As if Aubrey wasn't smiling enough, her big sister decided to help her...
"Say Cheese, Aubrey!"
"Thanks, Mom, you saved my life... my big sister almost killed me!"
On a much more tragic note, I dropped my brand new phone in the toilet this morning! Mackenzie had an accident and I was talking to Jamie and had it on my shoulder while I put Kenzie on the potty, only to have it slide of and into the toilet bowl! I pulled it out right away and threw all three of the kids (I have David today) into the car (never left the house so fast before) crying all the way to the phone store praying they could get it to work. They told me to stick it in a bag of rice and that would absorb the moisture and then I can just hope for the best... so will you join me in praying for my brother and praying for my phone?? If you don't have that many spare prayers, make my brother the priority, but if you have any leftovers... can you please send them up for my phone? I'm not usually attached to stuff, but this was an iphone that we got at a bargain price... I didn't need it, but Jake's heart was to bless me with it and it was amazing... it had everything on it... all my contacts, grocery list, Christmas list, email, music, games, pictures... stuff that is on my computer or scattered on scraps of paper but was all of a sudden conveniently contained in my pocket... until this morning at 9:57! I didn't get angry at Mackenzie (it wasn't her fault at all) and Jake didn't get angry at me (I didn't think he'd yell at me, but I know he was so excited about blessing me with it I hated to disappoint him) when I called him from a friend's house... but I am really heart broken about it... and I'm so hoping it will work again. I'm supposed to wait 2 days... I guess that is so I can pray really hard??
