HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Boy am I ever happy for December to be outta here!  Now things can get back to normal....if there is such a thing around here.

December was a whirlwind. We finished up our homeschool group for the year by makin ginger bread houses. That nite my mother in law was admitted into the hospital in Ocilla and then later that nite she was taken to Albany to Phoebe Putney. She had become septic and was in and out of it....she couldn't really respond too much and was fightin a tough battle....Michael went to be with her everyday after work for two straight weeks and I tried to go most of those days....she passed away on December 17th...the last people that were with her before she went were her son, daughter and ex husband.....she wouldn't have wanted it any other way.....I truely believe she was waiting on Mitchell (her ex-husband) to come see her.  Their life story is long and bittersweet. Ms. Sue was laid to rest on December 20th and I never thought we were anywhere close to having to say goodbye to any of our parents...so many things about life are so unexpected.

They only sure and expected thing is that she has no more problems that she suffered with (but never complained about) here on earth  :) Ms. Sue had a very strong faith in God and she knew her day was comin and it did :)

In between all of that, we had Ben's 8th!!! birthday and then many of our Christmas gatherings.

Then two days before New Year's Eve, Ben got sick.....and has been sick ever since!!! He has thrown up more the last week than he has his whole life and has gotten dehydrated. We've been doin everything possible to not have to put him in the hospital! It's been aweful and I feel so bad for him but I think maybe we are turning around today  :)  keep your fingers crossed! 

Anyway, Happy New Year!

Confirmed our BEACH reservations for May and July on this COLD BLISTERING day!!!

Now that makes us happy!!!
