12 Days of Christmas

Most people don't know this or maybe they do but, the 12 days of Christmas actually begin on Christmas day. The end of the Christmas season is on epiphany January 9th. So Merry Christmas to all.

Love to hate technology

Ok just found the usb cable to my digital camera so all the pictures I have on my camera for the last year I now have access to. Here are some samples.

Enjoy!!!!!!!

Babies, babies, and more babies

I have written before about how blessed I am to have so many incredible friends. Well this month two of my very best friends have both had twins. The funny part is they both are also my country neighbors. (meaning we live on the same road just not a short walk away from eachother) Anyway, Linda and her family had a girl and a boy about two weeks ago. Sarah just had two boys on Saturday. Our little group of six friends has been blessed with a combined total 34 children. All incredible families, all blessings to the world we live in. I suspect we will see some amazing people that affect our world come out of our little group in this little town. Thank you God for blessing us all so abundantly.

Drama

Life can be so dramatic. For me, in my youth I thrived on it. I still enjoy a dose I suppose now and then but over all I try to avoid it. What amazes me is how things can be so calm and tranquil and then all of a sudden Bam! you get nailed with it. For some reason the Christmas season seems to bring it out in my extended family. But that's not what today is about.
Thursday evening was like any other I'd just got snuggled into bed when the phone call came.
My mother in law (whom I love to pieces) called frantic. At first I thought my father in law had a heart attack but, it turns out our trailer along with their garage were on fire and burning fast. Mom got out of the house safe with my sweet little niece Claire when the neighbor broke open a window. Fire department and 7 emergency vehicles arrived to put the fire out but all was lost except the house of course. Thank you Lord. Now we are all dealing with insurance companies and the like. This is the kind of drama I could do without.

Ok this is a cute kid

Our little Rosebud

Rosebud

So my darling Rosie had outpatient surgery today. She had a pyogenic granuloma above her left eye right at her brow bone. The surgery to remove it normally would have been in office but because she is 20 months old they used gas to make her sleepy and that required a hospital. All went well the procedure lasted a mere 10 minutes or so. The doctor came right out and got my husband and me. Then he looks at me and says in so many words. Well everything went great except..... we had the gas mask on her face and when I (the doc) use the tool to cauterize the blood vessels it burned her eyebrow off. But it will grow back. Now don't get me wrong I like this doctor and to be honest I really don't like any doctors. But, I could swear when I was in elementary school they mentioned something about fire and gas not mixing well together. Do you think maybe all the doctors and nurses present missed that day of school in their childhood. Yeah that's probably a stretch huh?

Anyhow our little Rosebud is no worse for the wear and bounced back with a vengeance. She was singing me songs in no time. I'm just grateful all went well in the end and I am able to laugh about it.

God Bless
