First Blog

After reading some friends blogs... I've decided it would be a great way to keep family & friends updated on what's new with our family, and on their time. :) As most of you who are reading this know, we've had a whirlwind of events lately. I'll post an email most of you have probably already read, and then going forward will have nothing but HAPPY news to share!

Thank You are not big enough words for what we felt in the past couple days!!

As many of you know... our busy Thursday hit the paper Friday morning. Of course, it missed the most important item... our kids' piggy banks! We still can't get over that... that is where they made their haul, as our kids have way more money than we do! :)
I cleaned the house last night which gave me a little peace of mind. I had to dust my dresser... (Embarrassing to admit) but I could still see the square where the jewelry box sat and every time I glanced at it, it made me sick to my stomach.
We have a bid in the works for a security system... so we'll be working on that in the next 2 weeks.
And, then, as most of you heard, Katilyn went into the hospital Friday morning. She had an infection in her tonsils which created an abscess. She stayed Friday night, had surgery Saturday and came home Sunday. They drained the abscess and removed her tonsils. She's out of school this week and on an ice cream diet! :) It's been a pretty emotional ride for us, and we are so glad to have everyone back home, recovering and hopefully will regain some normalcy soon. Katilyn is feeling better, and we hope to have her feeling almost 100% by next Monday.
Through it all, I have to say that once again, Troy and I realized how lucky we are to have such a HUGE support system. The calls, emails, texts and everything were so amazing. Our phones were going off non-stop. Our friends and family are THE BEST!!!!
Thanks for everything the past couple of days!! We are so blessed!
