Nausea
...is consuming me and my brain. I know that my blogging has fallen to the way side but I just can't seem to get it together! I have so much to share. We had the most fantastic trip to Hawaii. We saw the most beautiful sunsets, went to a luau, went snorkeling twice, toured the island, watched Mike take a private surfing lesson, laid on the beach and went to Moana Loa...one of the best star gazing places in the world. It was all so amazing. I am so proud of Mike for making Winner's Circle. He has worked so hard this past year and it was an honor he certainly deserved. Our biggest challenge was leaving Landry. Thankfully and most gratefully, we had the loving care of the Barnharts to leave her in. She was absolutely loved and spoiled for 8 days. We called at least twice a day and when she had time to talk to us she was always happy and full of joy. When we got home she cried when they pulled out of the drive way. I just don't know what we would do without MoMo and Paw Paw! I hope that they are always in our lives. They are some of the Godliest people I have ever known and we feel so blessed to have them in our lives.
On to Landry...she is simply amazing. We are amazed at the things that she is learning and doing every day. She is really bursting at the seams with this vocabulary of hers. I could brag about her for days but she simply is the light of my life. As we were preparing for our trip I was determined to have a new will and testament prepared for us. I felt a huge weight off of my shouders the minute it was signed. I cried while I prepared it thinking of the actual reason behind it. I can't leave this child behind. I can't let her father leave us. It just can't happen. She needs us...we need to be here for her and I just can't imagine ever having a moment when I couldn't fill whatever roll she needed from me. With this thought I pray--- Lord, please keep our family safe and healthy so that we may live out this life in love and service to you and each other. Amen. Whatever His will is, we are prepared both spiritually and now, legally.
