Truly Blessed

I'm tired of being at home and of having sick kids. Last week we were all snowed in and the kids did not have school for 3 days. Lyric was also sick with the stomach bug. This past weekend Samara started running a fever and was very congested. Thankfully I took her to the Dr. on Monday and found out that she had an upper respiratory infection and the RSV virus. It was hard to see my baby so sick. She could barely breathe through her nose or mouth because of her congestion. I am happy to report that she is now doing much better and we are looking forward to enjoying a warm weekend! No more sickness!!

My grandma came up on Monday and stayed the past four days with us taking care of Samara and helping me with the kids in the evenings. Dustin has had parent teacher conferences in the evenings this week and has worked late most nights. I have always had a close relationship with my grandma and she has always been there for me when I have needed her the most. She taught me to sew (kind of!) and play cards, and best of all she showed me by example how to stay close to God. I always gain bits of wisdom from her whenever I am with her. This week was no exception. I greatly enjoyed our talks, playing rummikub after the kids were in bed, and most of all just having her presence here. She is and has truly been a blessing to my life.

It was great to read about the relationship you have with your grandma. Grandparents have a special touch for sure. Hope your kids are feeling better.
