Much to Reed's dismay, we were quite impressed by it's wrangling ability and have decided that for sure, we will be keeping the contraption! (Note to all of you out there reading: We never even planned on taking the thing down, we just told Reed we would try it out and see if we liked it. We knew we would enjoy the peace of mind.
We also have additional peace of mind because Poppy did great in his heart cath today and the doctors think they can correct his problem is medicines. God definitely answered our prayers!
While Mommy finished getting ready for Mrs. Lisa's visit, Reed decided that he needed to push the John Deere around the Living room. He loves the tractor that Aunt Ava and Uncle Brookie gave him.
As we knew he would be, Reed was quite mesmerized by Mrs. Lisa's electric personality. He was so excited to have a visitor. The visit went really well. We passed our followup visit so we get to keep Reed. Good thing, because that baby "ain't goin nowheres if I got anything to do with it." Mrs. Lisa also gathered the information for our homestudy. She did our last homestudy with lightening speed and promises the same excellent fervor.
We had a very special treat, because Mrs. Lisa brought her beautiful daughter with her. We could just eat her up. She is darling. We've been wanting to get to meet her. Reed thought she was pretty cute too!
Reed also reached another milestone today, real milk! That's worth celebrating, because if you haven't priced formula lately, IT'S EXPENSIVE! Reed loves real milk, he sucks the bottles dry.
Sir Sleepy Eyes would not take a nap this afternoon, so he decided that he needed to go to sleep at 6:30. I put him in the bath which delayed his sleep for a while, but by 6:47 he was zonked and in bed.
Mrs. Lisa does have a beautiful daughter!!! Glad the follow-up visit went well. Sure hope the next homestudy goes quickly! I want to see Flat Ava!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you get to keep Reed! I don't know what I would do if you had to send him back!
ReplyDeleteJeff, I was pleasantly surprised to pull up the internet in daddy's room at the hospital.. This morning the first thing he wanted to do was pull up the blog to see REED....and of course, ABBEY and YOU,too. He knew that seeing Reed and pictures of Joshi would be the thing to cheer him up. Hey, the Wendy's story helped a lot too. You really threw me last night when bragging about the Vacuum Cleaner we got you all in such a strange way that I thought that you were complaining about it. Ha! I will leave you that one to explain to your readers!!! Thanks to all of the readers for the prayers. We missed having Jeff with us but as we have been in that place so many years ago, we know that sometimes it is better to sit back and wait....in case, you might have been needed more at a later date. The most important thing was the prayers and for those we are feeling God's loving hands. Anyway, Daddy tried to SKYPE you, not sure if you can do that from here, but i AM SURE THAT HE WILL KEEP TRYING. We love all of you. Keep praying. Love, MOM
