It's been soooo long....

Sorry it has been so long, honestly I totally forgot about mt blog... I know I am not a good blogger, I promise it do better...

Let me start off by updating everyone about Emma...
Emma has been doing really well, she has had no hospital visits in over a year. It is so amazing to me that this little girl with so many heart issues has had no major problems lately, God is truly a great God and has kept this little girl under his wing. I know that she is going to have to have surgery soon, probably in the next year or so. I can only pray that when it is time he prepairs our family and doctors for that day. The only thing that we are having to watch is her weight. She has not been gaining and actually lost some weight. From what I know, this might be the first sign that surgery is nearing. Other than that she is amazing. God has big plans for her. I honestly believe he is using this little girl to show people that he still works miracles. Everyone that meets this amazing little girl is amazed by her, not only that she is still here with us but that she is doing as well as she is. She teaches people to be so thankful for what they have and not worry with the little stuff. He is in control, if you give your problems to him he will do the worrying for you. I know I have learned to live life for every moment and if God decides to give you more moments, give thanks, life is such a precious gift and we should be truly thankful for what we have and not dwell on what we want or think we have to have. God never gives us more than we can handle, although I feel he pushes us a little further than we thought we could go. Please keep praying for Ms. Emma, every day can produce more challenges, I only pray that we are strong enough to work through them.

As for the rest of us it is just the same ol' same ol'. Nickolas is still going to school two days a week and loves every minute of it. He had tubes in his ears and can hear and speak sooo much better. His favorite phrase now is "Mommy, you make me mad". he usually uses this one when he doesn't get what he wants. I then have to explain to him why he can not have it and let him tell me why he is mad. You have to love three year olds, they come up with the cutest things.
Katelyn is wrapping up her first grade year and is looking forward to her summer vacation. She is such a good reader that her teacher says she is reading on a fourth/fifth grade level. She thinks she is just hot stuff because she can read chapter books, I have to say it is quite amazing.
Josh is still working nights, but he received a promotion and is now the night supervisor. I am just so thankful and blessed that I am able to stay at home and be with my kids. Trust me, at times I wish I could go back to work, but I think all Mommies have though's days.

We have just been truly blessed with everything we have been given, God is good we just have to stop an look...
