Wouldn't Trade A Moment

So I have so much to post about... Cameron and Owen's 4th birthday and all of February (which included a week long trip with just Trev and I to Texas). But in this moment...


Sickness. Again. No sleep. Again. Repeated doctors. Again. Croup. Strep. Meds. Breathing. Ears. Throwing up.

Constant.

Trevor and I decided that if we read scriptures every day, it helped us feel more level. More level parents = happier kids, happier house. So this morning when Trevor left for work and we had forgotten to read, I called him. We are reading the New Testaments in the bible, when Christ was alive. The chapter was all in metaphors. I don't know why, but it just made me feel so lucky. I have had three beautiful children that have sprouted and are starting to grow beautiful flowers. And so although we have been to the doctor's 4 times, instacare once, and ER once in the last week, I couldn't ask for more.

I am so thankful for a hubby that is sleep deprived and still wakes up every morning with the kids and turns on the fan as he walks out the room so that I can sleep in.

I am so thankful for three amazing boys, who melt my heart every day.

I am so thankful to amazing friends and neighbors who call me and bring me dinners, just to help.

I am so thankful for my great friend Leisa, who no matter how hard our lives are, we share them together, and still manage to get each other laughing.

I am so thankful for my amazing Mom who drops everything, anytime, to let me talk, vent and get advise.

I am so thankful for all of my other family, and in-laws, for their constant love and support in anything.

Thank you to all of you for always helping me to know that people care, and most importantly that people love.
