I am confident that he would tell you if he was typing this email that it was one of the best Fathers Days. We have to get up very early on Sunday morning for Sunday school so the boys and I decided to surprise him with breakfast in bed on Saturday morning. Jimmie and Ian-Thomas made him their own card. Jimmie actually wrote Happy Father's Day all by himself. He drew a picture of himself and a heart and signed his name. It was so sweet! Ian-Thomas did a great job too and drew a great picture which we were very impressed. Some how he ended up with marker on the back of his neck! :) Then we all went in the bedroom and said Surprise!!! Happy Father's Day. He was very excited and so touched when he received the cards. Well, then Megan decided to give him her present. See I had been working on getting her to say I love you for a few days in hopes she would surprise him. Well, she pulled through for me. As daddy was walking up the stairs yesterday she put her little arm up and said "Daddy, love you!" Now what actually came out was more like "Daeee oh uuuu! But she new exactly what she was saying and so did we. It was the sweetest sound and with a great big grin showing all six sets of dimples, man talk about melting his heart! It was the best thing she could have ever given him! He came running down stairs and to top it all off she planted a big kiss on him. She knew she had scored major points with her daddy. As if she needed more though. :) This evening we put out her little baby pool. When I say baby, I mean it is one of those itty bitty little pools only for one baby that barely covers their toes. It's perfect for her. The boys, of course, have one that they can play in on their own. She sat in her little pool with her pretty Dora bathing suit on and had a wonderful time. Like I said earlier she had not been feeling the best this afternoon but she seemed to pull out of it. She ended up getting so tired (even though she had just had a nap shortly before then)that she couldn't even stand up. Every time she would stand up she would fall right back down. So, unfortunately she was not able to stay out very long. She has actually already gone to bed for the night and has been in bed since 6:30. We have noticed that she has a lot more energy when she is on her drip. Now she is allowed to have 4-6 hours off a day but it seems we can't even make it that long lately. Her new medicine should be here on Tuesday (the ones she takes for her Mitochondrial disease) and we are hoping maybe that will improve. It seems as though any amount of exercise just wears her out so much. We are praying that she does not have any issues with this medicine. She is so sensitive with things, you never know how it is going to affect her. Also, please pray that she will start feeling better soon. I am hoping her running a bit of a temp this afternoon was just a little thing that will not escalate into something awful. And pray for Jim and myself. God is really doing a mighty work in all this and we desire so desperately just to serve Him, obey and give Him complete control over not just this but everything. He deserves all the Glory and Honor NOT Jim and I. We are so unworthy, you know? Man, He has just blessed us, the feeling is just, well there is just not enough words to describe, you guys. I love to count my blessings. Have you ever done that? Just sat down and counted them? Especially when you are feeling down. I have done that a lot lately. Our journey feels like an unmovable mountain right now. He can move that mountain! Praise God!!!! He is in this with us, with all of us. And I am so thankful of that. We will praise Him in the storm, you know? God Bless you guys! Thanks for letting me ramble. We love you so much!!!!!
In all, I was not focused on the bad stuff over the weekend. I was able to spend time with my family and not think of anything that would dampen my spirits. Megan saw to that. :) I can't tell you the rush of emotion that flowed over me when she said those three words. I was undeniably overcome with love and happiness. And the boys surprising me with breakfast in bed, and the cards they made. I could not have asked for anything more.
