Did you see Jesus?

On July 3 I took Delaney to the dr.s just to have them check her cough. As a mom of 3 I already knew what they were going to say..."It's just a cough, give it 7-10 days and it will go away" and then send us on our way. Turns out my sweet girl had pneumonia. I'm so glad I took her in because let me tell you, I wasn't going to. I'm so sick of dr.'s bills...especially when they are for "nothing". Anyway, she had 2 chest x-rays done and thought that was the coolest thing ever! She even wanted to bring them home to show Sloan and Isabelle and everyone else (as she said).

Later that evening we went over to Sloan's parent's house for dinner. Delaney was telling them all about the dr.'s visit and her x-rays and that she got to see her stomach which was filled with bubbles, her heart, and her bones/lungs. All of a sudden, from across the table, Isabelle chimed in, "Did you see Jesus, too?" It took me a minute to get what she meant....infact, it took Sloan saying Jesus, He lives in your heart, for me to get it. What a sweet thing to say. Of course when I said not really, she didn't understand that and we all tried to explain it to her, but she was not convinced...she just thought we should be able to see Jesus on the x-ray.

Thank you Jesus for making my big "baby" girl better. We had to go back to the dr. to get new meds and now she is pretty much 100%. Now...if we could just get Isabelle better we would be good (she just came down with a fever)!

Catch up

So I haven't blogged at all lately.  Sloan got finished with tax season and we have been going ever since.  We did several projects around our house and now it is on the market...hoping it will sell soon!  It's only been 2 weeks (and a couple of days) but it already seems like it has been forever.  Try keeping your house pretty much spotless with 3 kids...hard to do and not fun!  I feel like I am constantly sweeping, mopping, wiping down counters, cleaning tubs, toilets and mirrors, etc.  Oh, and the vacuum and I have become best of friends.  I know all that sounds so sarcastic, but it's already getting old.  I am trying to be patient and just rest in knowing that God's timing is perfect and He has the right buyer for us...but it is hard.  We are so ready to start making decisions as to what is next, where Delaney will be going to school in August, etc.

On a fun note, I was able to go on a long awaited girls weekend with some dear friends; Jessamy, Ashley and Haley.  We have 11 kids between the 4 of us so we were all very excited to get away for the weekend and go to Fayetteville.  It was so nice to eat out literally every meal and not have to even think about cooking.  And shopping without kids...need I say more, I don't think so!!!  We even went to see a movie...The Proposal...I don't think I have laughed that hard at a movie in a long time...if you haven't seen it, go see it!  So thankful for these girls and that the Lord has brought us together to go through life/mommyhood with...I love all of you!
