Update on B's lip
I should have posted this sooner but I just haven't had anytime to get on the computer. Bret was doing great the week after his lip repair. He and I went to his follow up appointment in Hope the following Thursday. Everything was great. The Dr. said he was going to heal great without much if any of a scar. I was so happy. We went and ate. He was very hungry because he really hadn't ate much other than cereal or oatmeal all week. On the way home Bret says Mommy my lip it hurts. I pulled over and best I could tell everything was ok. We get home and he runs on up in the house. When I walked in Wilb met me at the door and said what happened to his lip. I looked and Bret had pulled ALL the stitches out. It was so upset. I called Dr. Ferguson and text him a pic. He said it would be ok and made me feel much better about it. I called the Dr. in Hope the next morning and of course he was on call but in Magnolia again. So Bret and I took off again and they once again had to put him to sleep to repair the lip. This meant one more week of not eating and trying to protect that glass slipper. Bret also did not get to be alone for even a second until we were sure he was healed up. It looks good now only a couple of little stitches poking out that bug him.
Thanks to everyone who text and called and prayed for us. I am also very thankful to Todd for giving me the time off to be able to take care of Bret. It was definantly one of the hardest couple of weeks we have ever had and definantly the hardest we have had as parents.
Christmas 09
I didn't get to take many pictures of all the great Christmas gatherings we were at because I was too busy protecting that little lip. :) We had a great holiday this year. I am so thankful for everything and everyone in our lives. I am also very thankful that my kids know the reason for Christmas, Jesus's birth.
I do have some pictures of Christmas morning. I think my kids were the last kids on the planet sleeping. I laid and watched them sleep from about 6:30 until they finally woke up at 8.
Liberty Bowl 2010
Razorbacks vs East Carolina
This year for our anniversary I told Wilb all I wanted was to go to the Liberty Bowl. He told me next time I wanted to go to a bowl It better be the Fiesta Bowl or some place warm. It was soo cold but we had a good time. I have no idea how the Hogs won but somehow they pulled it out. The windchill was 15 degrees. We wore 4 layers of shirts and had handwarmers and the coke fountains froze up so you couldn't even buy a coke. This was the first time I had been to Memphis and I promised Wilb we would live off BBQ. We ate at Neely's and at Corky's. They were both good. We got lucky that our hotel had a bus we could ride to the game so we didn't have to drive and worry about parking. He dropped us off at our gate and was there waiting on us(with the heater on) when we came out. We had a good time and the kids had fun staying with Nonnie and Poppy. We were so thankful to them.
Bret's First Day in Big Church
A Small Milestone
Bret will be three in less than a month and that is the cut off in the church nursery. I wasn't really prepared but Darci talked me into it today because we had been talking about it. He didn't go to children's church today, maybe next Sunday but we made it the whole service.
You did so good sweety. You even tried to follow along with the songs in the hymnal. It was too cute. During church you became very interested in Lindsey and Michael and afterwards you had to go show her your pull a rabbit out of a hat magic trick.(I'll add more about this in a different entry.)
Reading
Darci has wanted to read for a long time. She has made 100% on all math and spelling test so far this year.
Mrs. Pickett says you are a natural student. Last week the Kindergarteners got to bring home library books. Last week you brought "Chica Chica Boom Boom" and this week you brought home "Brown Bear Brown Bear". You also brought home a copy of the book your class has been reading, "Get the Gum". I love that you can read them. You have been so good at trying to read our Bible verses at church too. Growing up so fast!! Love you Sweetie!
