I'm sorry I haven't blogged much this week, but it's been a little hectic on the home front.
Please continue to keep my Dad and Nancy in your prayers. Nancy's insurance will not pay for inpatient rehabilitation and they're not sure how to get her to and from physical therapy with Daddy having to work. Also please pray for their financial situation. I can't go into detail, but much prayer is needed in this area of their lives. With that said, Nancy is doing much better. She is getting up a couple of times a day and walking (assisted) to the nurses desk and it able to sit up in the chairs for several hours now. What a blessing!!

Alli Claire has graduated from her night night outfit consisting of short sleeved Onesies to full fledged long pajamas. She won't stay under the covers and it's getting a little cool at night now. She looks so cute in her striped pj's and her Elmo slippers! She has also taken to eating crayons at school. Like mother like daughter :o) I told her teacher this morning to teach her only to eat the white ones because that way no one can tell you've been eating crayons! Aren't I smart? This was my philosophy in kindergarten and first grade. No one ever wanted their white crayons because they wouldn't show up on white paper. So they gave them to me. To eat.... Maybe this explains a little. I have issues people. I have issues.

Graisi has been up to her usual funny self. She performs for me some afternoons complete with costume and high heels. Wednesday she was a famous artists and had to show up for a video and photo shoot. I wish you could have seen the poses she was giving me. I'm a little embarrassed to describe some of them... But that's Graisi and you just got to love her.

Martin is still enjoying his job. His co-worker, Jennifer, only has 4 wks before she delivers her third child and she will not be coming back. She and I are SO much alike. It's really kinda scary! For the first month Martin was there he would come home every afternoon telling me something else we have in common. The only things we don't have in common are that she cooks and enjoys doing it and she's a Saban idol. I'll have to look over the last difference and act like it doesn't exist. But we have the exact same sense of humor too. I can actually talk to her and not worry about hurting her feelings nor she mine! Believe it or not people, I usually have a filter on when I talk to most people. Very scary isn't it??

I am just living life and enjoying my family and God's beautiful seasons. I mean, how much better does it get?? There is a slight crisp in the air. OK. So there's not, but there should be. It's October and my birthday is next week. I am so thankful I was able to spend one more year with my family. Most people dread getting older.... not me. After Grant and Dustin died, I realized how precious life is and how we should just enjoy being with our loved ones no matter what our age is. I even like my grey hair. Martin and Graisi trying to pull them out, but I insist on leaving them in there. Heck, I earned them!! Might as well be proud of them, right?

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you have a great weekend :o)
