I haven’t been posting much lately due to a general busyness and the fact that there is so many things on my mind right now.

First, my grandfather died right after Thanksgiving. I had to make a quick trip with Baby K back to WV for the funeral. Thankfully he died the day before my dad’s birthday. It would have been tragic to have your dad die on your birthday.

I have been interviewing for a job and I got an offer that I have accepted. Even though I am excited to be back working full-time, there is some hesitation. How much will I miss Baby K? Will he be OK with his daddy? Will daddy be OK with him? Does daddy know all the little secrets to get him to sleep and eat?

Right now Baby K is sick. He has a cold so I hate it when I hear him struggling to breathe and his eyes look so heavy and red. He is so sad. He had a slight temperature last evening but it is normal now. And if you can believe it, HE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME! We just had a doctors appointment yesterday and we were telling him how tired I was because he has not slept through the night. Dr. D said we need to train him, even if that means letting him cry for a while. Otherwise, we will be getting up with him until he is 4 years old. I don’t know if it was because he was sick, because we prayed over him, or he listened to the Dr., but he slept. Praise the Lord, he slept!

To top it all off, my cousin died yesterday. She had epilepsy. She was taking a shower and must have had a seizure and drowned in the bathtub. I am still in shock over this freak accident. This is stuff that you see on TV but it doesn’t really happen to your family.

With everything going on, we are still not prepared for Christmas. This is one of my favorite holidays because you get to decorate and celebrate the birth of Christ. Well, we haven’t had time to put up our lights outside and we have a tree (got it on Tuesday evening) but it still is not decorated. We have very few presents purchased and cannot see a time when we will get out to finish our shopping. OH WELL. As long as we make it to Christmas Eve service (Carols and Candles) at our church. As long as we are together.

We still have so much to be thankful for in this life.
