Today I had another appointment, nothing has changed, but I do not have to go in tomorrow! Woo Hoo! A day off =0) I decided this whole hotel thing would be so much more fun if I was allowed to get up and do things. I do go places and sit, so that is nice, but I miss being active. I sit by the pool and watch them swim or at the park and watch them swing. All of this watching and no playing is hard on a mom. I am kind of excited for the rain tomorrow. I look forward to sitting in the room and playing board games, reading books and watching movies. I am so grateful though to have my kids with me. Even if I can't be a part of everything just being together as a family is a huge blessing. It warms my heart to see them have such a good time. In their minds we are on some awesome vacation not cooped up in some random hotel...I love that =0)
Joe and I also want to thank everyone who sent down food and gifts from our church tonight. We don't know names but we are so grateful for everything you have provided. I cried as I opened an anonymous gift, read sweet cards and saw the boxes of food that were unpacked. We feel incredibly supported by so many people. Thank You! The love, support and prayers truly lift us up and encourage us. Words can only begin to express our thankfulness. Thank you for caring for us, for our family, and for our son Stephen. I feel so much more optimistic and ready to take on this challenge. I can't believe that in a week he will be here...if he holds out until then. I know it will be scary but right now I am just excited to finally see his face, kiss his forehead and touch his little fingers =0)
Thank you for you continued prayers.
