Catching Up

Well it's been a while, sorry! I have become a facebookaholic and it has distracted me from my blog. Oh and we had a pretty tough winter/spring in our house.

A short recap for anyone who might not have known all of our chaos. So in Nov. the girls & I were rear-ended while sitting at a red light on our way home from school. An elderly gentleman just assumed I was driving through a yellow/red light, when reality was I stopped. Then like 3 days later Peyton fell off a kitchen chair and then passed out. She came to pretty quickly, but I couldn't keep her awake. So off to the ER we go.

As Christmas came the girls and I headed to TN and spent the 1st week there sick. I was miserable. Then we found out Dustin's MeeMaw fell and broke her hip. She went in for surgery the next day and that evening she passed away. We were so thankful to be have all the family together for her funeral. On our way home on Christmas Eve we drove through floods in Arkansas. Then we were shocked to find out that it was snowing in TX. And oh my by the time we crossed over the lake entering into the metroplex of DFW the ice was pretty bad. It took us like 4 or 5 hours to drive what should have been 1 hour. It was scary and crazy. We left Memohis around 9am. and got home at 11pm. Oh and Santa still had to come see 3 little girls in the morning. Yikes!

As far as I can remember January was semi uneventful. Then February came and oh my! Taylor had an asthma attack. So off to the ER we went. I was actually thinking we might not have to stay this trip, but shortly after getting to the ER she went downhill. They admitted her and she proceeded to get worse. At her worst she was on 12 Liters of oxygen and it was kind of scary. After 6 days in the hospital we were discharged and so ready to go home. Unfortunately I went home with a nasty stomach bug. No fun! Then we started trading out sickness from one family member to another. In April, Taylor had another nights stay in the hospital.

So it's been quite crazy around here!

Is that all?! Just kidding. Good gracious. Sorry you all have had a rough spring and winter. Hopefully this summer will be boring for you.
