And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

It's Spring!

God makes all things new again. YAY! I'm glad warmer weather is on the horizon. I'm NOT a winter girl! Enough with all the heavy clothes and coats! John has started to plant the garden so we hope to have lots of veggies this summer. I'm hoping to get herbs and flowers in pots next month. I love spring!! However it does bring pain. Like allergies! It has really kicked us in the tail end this year! Zyrtec is lovely and helps. Thinking about doing some spring cleaning as well. I may do that after I know I can bend over without my head feeling like it's going to explode....grrrr.

Our Anna turned 4 months last Friday. Isn't she is precious! (that wasn't a question....she is!) We love her!
Her hair cracks me up! It's always sticking up, but so was Olivia's. In honor of her 4 month old birthday she received an all expenses paid trip to Little Rock for a check up at Children's. The whole appointment was really kinda frustrating. Apparently she has grown out of her seizures, or so they think. If she has great! Praise God! That's awesome! Her phenobarbital levels in her blood are subtherapeutic which means basically the meds are not working anymore. I wish they would have tested this sooner so then we would have known (pulling my hair out!) or done the ECG sooner instead of two weeks from now. They want us to stop her meds which we really are uncomfortable with until we know FOR SURE she is not having seizures. What if she is still having seizures? They don't REALLY know that yet. We haven't saw any seizure activity since she was in the hospital. John and I both believe we have a healthy girl and she is fine. Hope to get this straightened out soon so we can do what's best for Anna. P.S. I HATE drama!!! Oh well, no matter what the circumstance we CAN give God the glory for it and know he has HIS best in mind and is ALWAYS taking care of us. I have told myself I'M NOT losing sleep over this. God has got this.

We test drove a truck last week. All four of us can't fit in our truck. Not that we take it everywhere, but there are occasions when we need to and can't (which has become a pain truthfully..) Our friends had their truck up for sale and we bought it. John's truck was 13 years old. It was time. YAY for a new truck. Well, like new. And YAY for NOOOOOO truck payment!!!!

It's been awhile since I've been here so it's good to see your girls and how they've grown! I pray all is going well with 2. Congrats on the truck! I recently got a new car :)
