Today was a much needed relaxing day at home. We went over to my parents for a little while after afternoon naps, by Ry and Jake, but other than that we just hung out. Unfortunately, I also got zero housework done, but read a couple hundred pages in my latest Harry Potter book. Mostly, I appreciated my hubby and kids.
Our friend from high school had a new baby girl on Friday and we found out yesterday that she is in the ICU at Loma Linda. Although, Luke's condition was never touch and go I remember those days in the ICU wondering was my baby going to be okay. My heart breaks for them and what they are dealing with and the faith, they have to have. All our kids are such miracles, but watching Luke get into trouble, laughing and walking today was almost serene. How far we have come? I was thinking about Luke's first Christmas and how he was at the hospital while we celebrated with Ry and Jake. I can still feel the sadness and despair I felt leaving him. It is nice to be in the spot to look back at the miracle rather than praying for it. Rob and I have not stopped praying for our friends since the text yesterday and hope and pray that they too will have that moment of reflection and realizing the miracle God has worked.
I promise to add my pictures tomorrow.

my goodness. you know, i'm glad you posted about your pity party. we all have days like that - it's apart of our life here on earth. but then you pick yourself up and start moving along again. i'm always so impressed with your happy attitude - even when your having a really tough time. you are all in our prayers.
