Tues, Dec 16th......

Oh my where to even start today.......

So the house is full... no make that overflowing, but it feels cozy and great. I finally started my christmas shopping, not much this year but the kids will all be happy. I have to say I have been so amazed at the kindness of others this holiday season. Getting the girls was an absolute blessing but it was still hard to fit all they would need in a budget that is already bursting at the seams. So many have reached out and assisted with clothing and neccesities for the girls and while assistance is hard for me to accept I have truly appreciated it.
The biggest deal for the girls was their beds. Apparently they have not had the luxury of beds for quite sometime and having their own beds made them feel like princesses. I was worried about the bedding - being just thrown together odds and ends that we had laying around, but they did not even notice that - they were and still are thrilled every morning when they awake in their own bed. I have to say that the girls have really made us stop and be thankfull for the things we take for granted on a daily basis.
We got E straightened out on her medication for all of her health issues and haven't had any emergency issues what so ever. She has attended every day of school since we got her enrolled and she absolutly loves school here.
I am planning to take all the girls, Jess and E and M to the ballet this weekend. Jess and I have been and absolutly love it but M and E have never been so I hope they enjoy it.
