The Handmade Dress

We have had a rough week. I've had four sick kids with the meanest virus out there. It was a five to six day fever, with coughing, wheezing, congestion, and all around misery. It involved a regular doctors visit, an after hours visit, two emergency room visits, and a three day stay in the ICU for our tiny Lyric. I'm happy to say that we are now home, and everyone is fever free except for Lyric who should be on her last day of this. I'm so happy to be home with this sweet baby girl. She gave me a pretty big scare! You know it's bad when you walk into the ER and within five minutes there is a doctor, two nurses, and a respiratory therapist that doesn't leave your side for over an hour. This mama is so grateful for all of my babies tonight. I'm praying that they all continue to heal and get better and the next few days are completely UNEVENTFUL!! Please keep us in your prayers, especially Lyric. Thanks so much friends! xo, Sam   Posted with Blogsy

What a difference a year can make! Or maybe not?! Ha! Hey, I did get a pair of skinny jeans! Woot woot! My older children were super pumped about that! I can't believe it has been a year since my Penny Pie was born, and really a lot has changed. She is now walking everywhere, we have a sweet new foster love (Little Lyric Lou Who), and it's a pretty sure thing now that her two brothers will be with us soon too. We have been working on that process for about six months now (they are in another state) and now we are close to the finish line. So last November we had 4 children with 1 on the way, and this November we have 6 with 3 on the way.....and next November? Well we will just have to see what God has for us then! I've learned to never plan or predict! Ha! I'll just be wherever he needs me to be. How has your life changed in the last year? xo, Sam   Posted with Blogsy
