So, I twisted my ankle, yet again, and have been laid up a bit for the past week. No, I wasn’t bungie jumping, or sky-diving. I slipped on water on the kitchen floor. Off to the Drs office for xrays. No brake, just a severe spraign. And not as bad as the last one 2 [...]

I had just finished with my last patient before the lunch hour. I grabbed a quick snack and drink of water. As I set up for my next patient, I prayed, as I usually did.
instruments in their right places? check…
vitamin E ointment for their lips? check…
I was set to go.
The vitamin E ointment was key….I [...]
A day of rest…..
Posted in Family, community, life, my girls, my man, my nest, random thoughts on July 6, 2008 | 16 Comments »
I love taking a day of rest each week, and usually it is either a Saturday or a Sunday depending on which day my husband is not on fire-shift.
But I find myself getting pulled back into busyness, or obligations. I can think of seasons in the past where I was diligent to protect our day [...]

On the morning we were to go and get our Christmas tree, I was trying to put on my best Christmas smiley face. But I was not feeling it inside. However, the girls were excited, so I moved forward on their behalf. I made the chili, the hot cocoa, packed the snacks, and extra [...]

I can remember one of our first visits to the Fire Station. Sean had just taken a new job with MFD. I dressed my girls all up, curled their hair, and convinced them that if they were on their best behavior, that surely daddy would invite us all back again.
We brought in dinner for the shift: [...]

I can remember the cool fall morning the call came out. At our church we call it “Shout Out”. It is an email that lists the needs of people in our community. Those who are sick, or in need.
Sean was on duty that day, but my girls and I responded to the call. It was [...]

I feel so full. and so blessed.
The last two days have been an incredible blessing. I am reminded of the scripture that it is more blessed to give than receive.
Fundraiser Saturday and Sunday
The guys arrived early in the morning to set up the shade cover, tables, t-shirts, banners and memorial poster. The BEAUTIFUL signs were [...]
The Piano

I don’t know if it was me or Him when the impression came to my heart to give away my piano.
I had wanted to play piano since I was little. The only piano I had access to was at my grandpa’s house. I saw him once or twice a year. and when I did, I was [...]
Never to be the same….

Jessie’s cast was shortened at week three. She could bend her elbow now, yet was even more hesitant than before.
“Jess, it’s ok to use the swing. You can do it. It just feels different than you are used to,” I tried to reassure her, knowing exactly why she was uneasy.
