It's been a while...

I did not realize when I started this blog just how hard it would be to keep it up!! First I want to say that I hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving. I know we did! I am STILL full! It is always nice to have a day just to relax and enjoy time with Family. Cale was so sick bless his heart. He started running a fever on Tuesday and just would not eat. Thanksgiving day he just layed around and that is NOT Cale. Clint started feeling bad on Friday and then Friday night I got sick!! We stayed home all weekend trying to rest and get to feeling better. I ended up taking Cale to the doctor on Monday. He was just pitiful. He ended up having ANOTHER ear infection (2 in 3 weeks!) and bronchitis! The doctor also mentioned his tonsils being huge and that they may need to be removed and have his tubes out back in! I feel so bad for him. I just want to do what will be best for him and make him feel better!! Please pray for him.

We put our tree up this week and got the outside of the house decorated! Cale has done great with the tree. I was kinda wondering how little hands would be! :) I have most of my shopping done and the gifts wrapped under the tree! I am so excited about Christmas this year. I cant wait to see Cales face on Christmas morning. It amazes me how much Joy one little boy can bring to our lives. I cant think of a better time of year to thank the Lord for the many blessings he has given us. There is no way I could ever thank him enough for the gift of salvation, my husband, my son and my family and friends. I want to thank our family and friends for being there for us during our most trying times and then our most joyful times! I dont know what we would do without you.
