As is everyone else's life. The past few weeks have been busy. Last night I FINALLY finished Saphria's quilt for her first birthday party this afternoon. Her parents are our neighbors. I have known Saphira's mom, Haylee, her entire life. I tried some new free motion quilting. At first it was alittle rough--but by the time I finished--not to bad! Saphria has an older brother who is three, an older sister, Aria, who is two, Saphria is turning one and they are expecting a new baby in November! Haylee is one busy mom!
Last Sunday was Jessica's dedication/ baptism. Her other grandfather is a pastor at Northern Lights Christian Center. It is special to have him give the short personal message and prayer. A lady in the church crocheted a special gown for Jessica. She is now six months old. We thank the Lord for her each day when we think of all the complications surrounding Katie's pregnancy.
I am learning to allow my picture to be taken with the grandkids. Long story--but I will admit I am no longer refusing pictures.
We all knew Tatum wasn't feeling well. She wasn't laughing or enjoying being Tatum. The past several nights she had awoken during the night and cried. Sunday afternoon she would cry and needed to be held. By late afternoon her right jaw was swelling. We all thought she was cutting a molar. By 1:00 a.m. Monday morning they were in the ER. The entire side of her face was swollen and hot to the touch. The ER doc said she definitely had an infection and needed to see a dentist in the morning. The dentist couldn't determine what was wrong. It was three days before she was able to see the pediatric oral surgeon. On Thursday they found a baby tooth was floating in the gum over the molar not allowing the molar to come through. It had caused the growing infection. The doctor removed the baby tooth. When they were in the car coming home, Tatum said, "Mommy, Owie all gone!"
With school starting last Monday, it will be good to be back in a daily routine. Lots of challenges there again this year!
