Fall Festival!

St. Peter's Fall Family Festival is tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited!  It is such a great family event and I am excited to see all of the fun that our children have tomorrow.  It makes all of the hard work so worth it!

Once again, I feel so blessed to have family here.  My Mom and Dad have made the chaos of this week go so much more smoothly.  It is so nice to know that when I walk out the door to take care of things, that both of my kiddos are in the loving hands of their grandparents.  Rylan's had a fun filled week and Callie Jae has been able to have a solid week of an uninterrupted schedule.  Monday, my parents are taking Rylan for a short trip to Corpus Christi and San Antonio.  They are going to visit the state aquarium and a battleship, play on the beach, and go to the San Antonio zoo.  It will be his first big boy trip away from home.  It will also be fun for me as well, because I will get to spend a few days alone with my sweet baby girl.  She rarely receives that one on one time so it will be fun to have that with her.

Jason is healing very quickly.  Thank you God for being with us during this time and for healing him so quickly.  Walking still proves to be difficult and painful by days end, but he will get there eventually.  Please continue to keep us all in your prayers.

Life

Life threw us a curve ball this week.  Jason developed an infection in his foot and had to have surgery again.  He was in the hospital for a couple of days and was pretty darn miserable.  Things are starting to get better now and thankfully his foot seems to be on the mend, hopefully for good.  The bad thing about curve balls is that they are unexpected.  Just when you think that things are going great, it happens.  Fortunately, I am constantly reminded that life could always be worse.  I have been overwhelmed with the outpouring of love, prayers, help, and well wishes that embraced my family.  From the moment that I called a couple of friends at noon on Tuesday after receiving the phone call from Jason that he was being admitted to the hospital, until now, I have felt blessed each day from the support.  Thank you friends for your love, for listening to me cry, and holding my hand through this.  Thank you to my mother in law for rescuing me once again in the chaos that surrounds not having family around during stressful times.  You will never know how the everyday tasks of feeding and playing with my children will be forever appreciated.  You are my hero!  The next couple of weeks are probably not going to be very easy or pleasant.  The stress and frustration of dealing with this again has taken a toll on all of us.  I would ask for continued prayers for healing as we try to get over this hurdle one more, and hopefully last time.  Love.
