Graisi is out of school today so she's spent the night with Ed and Sallie. Brantley was very excited last night at church to tell me that Graisi was going to get to sleep in HER bed :o) Sallie jokingly told Graisi she would have to sleep downstairs in the basement with Cody the Predator Killer Attack Hamster. Graisi politely declined the offer.
Sallie has backed out of going to the Iron Bowl this weekend which left Martin a ticket to go. He was UP last night when he got the ticket. Sallie, the kids and I are going to Ed's parents home on the lake Saturday night to watch the game and enjoy some downtime. We'll get up early Sunday morning and drive back in time for church. Boy, what was I thinking when I agreed to this??
Alli Claire has started trying to say words. She's got the "cat" and "cup" sounds down pretty well. Amazingly they both sound very much alike :o) She's quiet proud of herself when she says them too. Uh-Oh is still one of her favorites. She is sleeping better for now, but who knows what tonight will hold. We just never know...
Graisi is skating in her yearly performance on Nov 30th and Dec 1st if anyone would like tickets :o) - $5 each. I don't remember if I told you last week, but she moved up another level and is now a Level 8 skater! This is the last level of the basic skating. She'll move up to the Freestyle skating next! Who da thunk it?? We are SO proud of her!!
Martin and I are doing good. We're just keeping on keeping on. This Thanksgiving I am so thankful for having such a wonderful husband and to have been blessed with 3 beautiful children! Each one has taught me so much about being a better mother, wife and person in general. I wouldn't change the way my life has grown or the experiences we've had. My God has a perfect plan for my life and I trust in that. This year has had it's challenges, but we've made it through and we're healthy. What more can I ask for?
Please keep John, Syble, Hannah and Baby Sarah in your prayers. We still haven't heard anything from the PGN, but hope word comes today.
Also, please keep Siran Stacy and his family in your prayers. He was a former Alabama football player who's family van was involved in a vehicle accident in Dothan, Monday night. His wife and four of his children were killed. He is in serious condition at Flowers hospital in Dothan and his 3 yr old daughter, Shelly, was transported to Childrens Hospital here in Birmingham. I cannot begin to comprehend the grieving this man is going through or the pain he will have to endure in the coming days, months and years....
