I can't brag about my love for God because I fail Him daily. But I can brag about His love for me because it NEVER FAILS.

I am convinced that there is not another little boy in glasses that is more handsome. Some pretty cool things happened when we picked these new glasses up this morning. For one, he naturally smiled when I put them on and the lady and I swear he said "thank you" to her. Right away there was a  HUGE, GINORMOUS, PHENOMENAL change is his sight- for the better. I guess that's why he was smiling :) It has been night and day with these need glasses and we've only had them for hours. We got home and he started cruising along the couch which is a huge change. He just seems to be so much more aware of the world around him. Our new retina specialist is AMAZING! Look how grown he looks!
Here is a before shot:

And another after

This boy is made to rock glasses and does it so effortlessly! Love you big guy, now lets get moving! 

I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see

We've got a busy next couple of days.
Today all the therapist and VI teacher will be out to work with the kids. I have to figure out what I'm going to wear for my meeting tomorrow, and I need to pick up Brody's new glasses at some point.
I'm feeling pretty good about going back to work but I'm sure that when the time actually comes, it will take a while to get adjusted to being away from my loves all day. The good thing is Ricky is able to be with them during that time and the other great thing is he will see what life really is like.
Friday is the big day, I'll meet with the first company about a position they are hiring for. I finally got my resume over to her and she sent back an awesome email so that is always good. I've also sent my resume to another place today and will see about opportunities there as well. After reviewing my resume, I've realized I have a lot to offer so I want to remember that while interviewing.
Friday Gracie has her swallow function to see if she is still safe while eating with her paralyzed vocal cord. Ricky will be taking her to that appointment and I'll be with Brody and Madi.
Ricky will be working this Saturday and I have some school work to do so that will probably sum up the weekend.
Monday I have another class starting and the kids have their orthotic follow up to see if their leg braces are still good for them. We (as in the therapist and I) are thinking they've out grown them. The funny thing is Madi never needed hers to walk and doesn't need them now. I think sometimes these things are over kill but for Gracie and Brody, they probably do need them.
After that things will go back to normal. I can't believe it's almost February. Just a couple weeks away from Ricky's 31st birthday!
For our out of town family, the weather didn't get near as bad as first thought. The wind was pretty bad in the early hours of the morning. We actually moved the kids into the closet just to be on the safe side since the wind was so bad but other than that and rain, we were ok.
I'll update again soon.
