Living Life and Loving it!

Glad to see some more posts on here and thought I'd join in the fun! 

Jordan gets to work from home twice a week and we love having him around. He's still adjusting to a new work and school schedule for the semester. He sure works hard! 

The girls are getting so big! I just unloaded bins of 2T clothes for miss Ellie. Its like having a shopping spree with so many new outfits to choose from! Brooklyn is becoming a lit more interactive. Lots of smiles and coos for mom and dad.


This week we were about to head out the door for church and Ellie threw up. Jordan stayed home and cuddled on the couch with her. She threw up 2 more times that evening. No fun! Then yesterday Brooklyn must have had the same bug or something because she threw up three meals in a row. Poor thing had milk flying out her mouth and nose.  I called the doctor to make sure i didn't need to worry and he said to bring her in if there was green in her puke. Luckily we didn't see any green and she seems to be holding down her food more. Sure isn't fun seeing your little ones sick!

Ellie wore a new jacket from Grandma Ross and new Pooh gloves from my Aunt Kelly on our walk. It was nice for me to get out of the house and get a little exercise.

                                      

We saw these ducks and chickens on our walk!

And last, but not least, I made this super cute craft with justine and am so pleased with how it turned out!

Grandma O'Neill passing

For the last month, I have from one state to another. On jan. 9, I flew into Orlando, Florida because my mom was dying. On jan. 11,  I flew into Richmond, Virginia for a family gathering. Jan. 13 , back to Orlando. A week later, drove Uhaul truck with sister Robin, back to Virginia with some Mom's things to give to family. Next week was headed home but mom passed away and so stayed for burial. But we have to fly casket from Florida to Virginia , then brother Spencer, in Middle East so have to wait for him to get back to states. So burial now set for Feb.1, 2014. With a week to wait, headed down with sister Merrie, to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for her business trip. Then back to Virginia on Wednesday.  I will finally will get to go home to Utah next Monday, Feb. 3, 2014.

Poem

Lord, take her from us. Take her to that place, Where she can finally change, Surrounded by your grace. Take away her darkness. Make her shine so bright. Soften up her heart. Surrounded by your light. Lord, help me forgive. Bad memories fade away. Though good ones may be few, Let them rule the day. Remind me of thy mercy. Faith, hope, and charity. That when, with her, I reunite. The good is what I'll see. Lord, take her from us. Take her to that place, Where she can finally change, Surrounded by your grace. By Marrie Ross - Granddaughter
