Day 11

Today was a hard day.  It was sad.  Today is the day we said goodbye to Aunt Sheila.  Her funeral was lovely.  She was loved by many and she will be missed terribly.  During her service Aunt Roseann spoke about how she was a great mom.  She and Alan wanted kids so bad, but had a difficult time conceiving. They went through many surgeries in order to have their sweet babies.  I don't know their whole story with trying to conceive and honestly, it doesn't matter.  I am thankful for the medicine, the doctors, and the technology we have that helps so many aching hearts with empty wombs be able to have sweet babies to hold and love.

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!

The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
