Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone. We had a nice time with the family. Evan is still coughing and taking breathing treatments but he is improving. Trey has some kind of gunk coming out of his eyes and Mike and Mikey are both sick. I have Mikey at my house filling him up with Juice Plus and veggies. He takes such lousy care of himself its no wonder he can't get well. I got back to the gym today after dealing with some foot pain and it really felt good. I am 99% done with my decorating and I am pooped. Tomorrow is movie day with the boys - Santa Clause 3. It should be fun. Then shopping with my friend Ruth and dinner with the guys on Wednesday. Next week is Mikey's operation and I will be glad when that is over. I took some decorations to my Mom's apartment yesterday. Dad was really confused when we were putting up the tree Thursday. He asked if we were taking it down!! I'm not dealing well with the empty eyes my Dad has these days. He lived such a vibrant life, it doesn't seem right for it to be this way. I've really been missing my sister lately. I really wish we could all be together for Christmas this year. A lot of things just don't seem right.

I feel so bad right now. Evan is still very sick and Kerri has just about hit the wall. We are all really concerned for the little peanut. I just wish there was something I could do for her. Funny thing is, she feels the same about her child. See, it never changes. It doesn't matter how young or how old they are, you still are the mother and you still should be able to "make it all better". I still see her as my little girl and she's having a tough time. I just hope and pray that today will bring healing to Evan's little body and rest for my little girl.

Monday morning, hit the ground running, little frustrations - life. But this morning I am thanking God for his hand of protection over Riley. He came far too close to getting hit by a car today. My mind can't even go there. God is good and really does watch over us. Sometimes we don't even realize it but this time if was all too obvious, too close for comfort. Baby Evan is really struggling but I am sure God is watching over him too. It is so hard to watch a little one hurt. He is so good when his Mommy gives him the breathing treatments. He has such a sweet spirit. I thank God today for all three of my little ones. Life just wouldn't be the same without them.

FYI on a lighter note - Ty Pennington is in Whitehall. They're starting on a house tomorrow. Am I there? You bet I am!!!

I just got home from keeping Riley and Trey while Kerri took Evan to the dr. He has a respiratory infection. His cough sounds pretty bad. He sat up on my lap and slept while Mommy was out getting what he needs and after he woke up he was blowing bubbles and smiling even with a fever. He is such a sweetie. It just breaks my heart when they are sick. Kerri really needs some sleep. I pray they are all able to rest and that Evan experiences God's healing touch. Nana loves you all.
