More Tender Mercies!

Emily went back in for another treatment and did very well.  Her port is healing greatly.

  She is not liking having to not go to school, church, or shopping, but we want to keep her healthy and their is a lot of sickness going around right now. Thanks to all those who take time to think of her needs and make this as fun as possible. We have a large Scavenger Hunt book for the whole family to stay in and enjoy. Mom and Emily had a fun tea party will the real China set that was brought to her. Lillian and Veta went and made a cake with Bishop's wife while we took Emily down to PCMC for her last treatment. PCMC knows to get out all the dry erase markers for Emily when she comes and they love her little messages that she leaves. Thanks again to all for your time and concern not just for Emily, but for our family as a whole. It is amazing what a toll something like this takes on everyone. Life is full of blessings all among the trials and I am thankful to be able to see them.

SNOW MUCH FUN!

 

I have to admit that when the kids went out to help Dad shovel I was happy for the quiet and that I could get Emily to finally lay down for awhile.  However, after almost an hour and it being a school night I was beginning to get annoyed and then I looked outside to find all of the above and more.  Had I have made them come in and wait until the next day--their fun would have been washed away in the rain.  Sometimes we need to take time to smell the roses and laugh away the mundane of life.  I am grateful for not making the fun stop and instead capturing the smiles on camera.

School, work, Emily feeling tired, and everything else in life that comes no matter what still came the next day, but who knows when another snow time like this will come.

I must take time to thank my Heavenly Father for these tender mercies that make everything worth it.
