Savannah's Head Trauma

Yesterday, Savannah fell out of the swing backwards when her hands slipped off the chains. She was sitting still but she hit the base of her head hard. Chris was with the children and he heard her fall then the cry and ran to her. He pulled the Daddy card out and told her to shake it off before holding her. He said she began to fall asleep. He said she went inside and laid down on the couch and began to fall asleep again. He went in to check on her and I called about that time. He said she had just gone to the bathroom to throw up b/c she was felt sick to her stomach. She didn't but throw up. She was just nausseated. Anyway, Chris called a frined of ours that is a Doctor and he said we should definitely take her to be seen to make sure she didn't have a head trauma. I got home a few minutes later and we all went to the hospital. I began to call people and have them pray. On the way to the hospital, Savannah almost fell asleep several times and we had to continue to wake her up. There was no bump on her head. This was not a good sign. So, they took her back almost immediately, then we had to wait almost 45 minutes to see the Dr. Within 10 minutes of our being in the back, she began to run around and counted to 120 or so. She was back to her normal self and we felt the back of her head and she had a knot at the base of her head. Chris and I just looked at each other and knew that God had done a miracle. He is soooo good! I just need to thank all of our family, friends and staff family that prayed for our sweet Baby Girl!!! As we prayed last night, she thanked God for healing her and to please heal her Mommy because she loves her so much! Needless to say, I needed a BUNCH of tissues by the end of the prayer. She woke up in an incredible mood today and she is completely fine!

GREAT book!

I was having lunch with two great friends on Monday and one was talking about a new book she just read. It is called, "The Shack". I purchased it at Barnes and Noble (it IS cheaper at Wal-Mart but I was already at Barnes and Noble so I picked one up. I began reading it at 8:00 on Tuesday night and Chris came and found me at 10:30 and asked if I was going to be finished pretty soon :O) So, I've never really been very fond of reading until about a year and a half ago. It all began with the book "Redeeming Love" and now I can't stop. At least if I find a really great read. Anyway, so I made it half way through the book on Tuesday night and I cannot wait to get back to it. It's GREAT! It makes you think about God in such a different and more personal way. I would suggest you all pick one up. Have a GREAT day and I'll try to get some pictures of the kids on here pretty soon. Savannah has begun taking ballet lessons and Slade is still hitting a baseball like a champ. I'll update soon I promise! :O)

Yay to true friends!

I have just been thinking throughout the day about how blessed I am to have some really true friends! God created us to have realtionships and I am so very proud of the true friends God has placed in my life! A true friend is one who will call you out when you have made a mistake or are in the middle of making an unwise choice. A true friend is one who will call or text you and ask how you are doing and not stop there. They will then let you know they've just prayed for you or if they are on the phone with you will just stop and pray for or with you right then and there. Also, a true friend doesn't just take and take and take from you but also returns favors and loves you back! WOW!!! Do I have some AWESOME friends. God is so amazing and I cannot thank Him for all of my TRUE FRIENDS!!!! If you don't have any true friends, you are missing out on such a blessing. Open yourself up to receive a blessing and to also give back to others. That's the only way it will work. Have a blessed day and love on those that God has given you for such a time as this! Thanks to all of my precious friends that I love so much! :O)

Ok, so my sweet babies are doing GREAT! We were just chillin this evening and I told them we could go for a walk and then we had to take a bath (to wash off the pb&j sandwich off Slade's puffy cheeks)and get ready for bed b/c they have school tomorrow. Savannah looked at me with the biggest surprise look on her face and said, "School?" I told her that yes tomorrow is a school day. She jumped up and down and said she could not wait for school. She loves school and can't wait to see her friends. I was thoroughly PLEASED but a tad bit perplexed. The poor child has come home the last two Fridays with war wounds. We got a call from the school two Fridays ago saying that someone had hit her in the face with a stick but that she's fine. There were two kids playing with sticks and one threw it at the other and Savannah just happened to get in the way! Well.....the phone rang again this Friday and it was the school again. I answered and it was Savannah's teacher. Her first words were, "Kim, I promise I'm taking care of your baby!" I asked what happened and she said Savannah had been hit in the face again by a stick but that they are cracking down on the kids playing with sticks. It was about an inch long scratch but it was VERY close to her eye. Mrs. Pruett, her teacher, was VERY apologetic and promised that they are doing everything they can to take care of this problem. I AM TOO!!!!! Savannh now knows to RUN whenever she sees anyone holding a stick. I told her that I didn't care if people thought she was crazy, if she sees someone pick up a stick she needs to head the other way. It's kindof funny. For the first two weeks she sat in the shade every day because it was too hot. I begged her to make friends and to play with them when they went outside. Now I wish I had just let her sit on the sidelines. :O) Not really. She's having a blast and if these two stick incidents are the worst thing that happen to her, we'll be doing good. Alright, I'm going for now. Maybe I'll write something else before a month has passed.
