Give Me a Break, Give Me a Break, Break me off a piece of that....

Yep I am once again asking for a break. I was home from work today as Grace has pneumonia. She's been coming down with a cold the last few days and today we happend to have a recheck for her ears so they just checked her all out because she had such a nasty cough and wheeze. Well 1 1/2 hours later we left with a nebulizer and antibotics and the knowledge that Grace has pneumonia in her right lung. We go back for a recheck on Monday, and I am praying that it is gone.

We finally got to go and start looking at carpet last night. We are waiting for some samples and hopefully then we can make our decision and then we can get our carpet by the end of next week and this whole ordeal will be done.

Despite being sick today Grace learned that she can open the kitchen cabinets so as I type this Scott is installing the child safety latches so she can't open the doors to get into what is in the cabinets. Her favorite is the cabinet with pop cans in it! Not the most pleasant sound when they all topple to the tile floor.

Busy, Busy, Busy

The title says it all. We have been very busy the last few weeks and this week we are finally calming down.

Our Easter was very good. We spent the afternoon with Scott's family, Grace got a great Easter Basket from her Uncle Troy and Aunt Michelle she really loved the bath toys and we can't wait to use them in the tub.

Grace is officially pulling herself up to a standing, YEAH! Now we just need her to walk but that should come soon I hope! Her PT is starting to talk more strongly about putting a brace on Grace's left leg for sure as when she stands she really rolls her ankle. I asked if we would see the same Dr. we saw for the helmet and she said no we would actually see his brother. I thought that was kind of funny. Not sure I would want to work with my brother but to each their own. I hope he is as nice and friendly as the helmet Dr. was.

Nothing else really new. We are still waiting to get our new carpet in the house so we have been living in a mess for almost a month now, its getting old and I can't wait to have new carpet. Hopefully we will get it next week.

Sorry for the barage of pictures, I hadn't posted any for awhile. The first few are from our trip to Disney World in January and then enjoying her sledding here in MN.

What Does God Have to Do With It?

So I received a comment to my last post that basically told me that God had nothing to do with my being able to pay for my sewer pipe seeing as I only received that money back because I don't know how to fill out my W-2 form.

I commented back saying that God has everything to do with our being able to pay for the pipe and get everything taken care of. If I had filled out my W-2 differently so that I didn't pay as much tax as I did and our return was not as large as it was there was no way we would be able to have paid for that pipe. God totally provides and you can rationalize it in any way you want to but I totally see God's hand in this whole situation. As disappointed as I am that we weren't able to do the things we wanted to do in the house I am so glad that this happened when we had the money in our account. God is great and really takes care of us and we need to give him the glory for these things. So to whoever annonymous is I do pray that you can get over your anti-God feelings and realize that he has provided so many things for you.

As for me and my family we do praise God for all this and for the fact that we work, we paid too much tax so we could get some back and that we were foolish enough to fill out our W-2 incorrectly.

God Bless your Day!
