Ups and Downs

These past few weeks have been full of ups and downs. Schy had another trip to the hospital. He was only there a few days. They took him off one of his medications and he's feeling much better now. It is so wonderful!!! The kids and I have certainly enjoyed spending time with Dad.

Last week Wal-Mart let me go. I made a mistake cashing a check to the wrong person. It would normally just be a warning, but I had disciplinary action previously for attendance. (That in itself was pretty dumb. I had to miss work when Micah was in the ER twice, I had strep, I had the flu, and my babysitter canceled at the last minute.) Anyway, that would have been a year ago in July and I have only missed one day of work in the past year. If you ask any of my co-worker at Wal-Mart, they'd tell you that I'm one of the most dependable and hard working. But I guess that they did what that had to do. So... now I'm in search of a new job. It's gotten me going. I've put out lots of resumes and applied for many jobs. I just have to pray and have faith that something good will come of it.

Really though, Schy doing so much better has meant the world to our family. It more that makes up for loosing my job. We've had a great time with the kids. We've gone to the park and Schy's taken them on walks. It's just so wonderful I can't say enough.

The kids were having fun with the water table outside.

Micah is "making eggs" with his peas. See how he taps them on the side to "crack the shell"

Family, Anniversary & Mother's Day

Two weeks ago Schy's mom, sister and nephew came to visit. It was so wonderful! We love them so much. On Saturday we went to Shipshewana to see Amish country. It was so much fun. I loved all the little shops and the yummy food. On Monday evening we went to Warren Dunes to have dinner on the beach. There was construction on the road to get to the beach so we had to walk up and down, and up and down the dunes to get there. The kids were really good about it though. Micah had too much fun and took forever! Of course he's Mr. Independent now so I couldn't carry him at all. It was worth it even though it was a bit chilly. The kids loved seeing Grandma Wright, Brittney and Kade. We are so happy that they came!

Mother's Day was very sweet. Kiah and Micah love to give homemade "presents" all the time. I don't know how many of their gifts I got. It always makes me smile. Schy got me some beautiful figures of a mother and children. They fit perfectly for Kiah and Micah. I love them! I had to stay home from church with Micah becaue he had a fever. Poor little guy. He's been sick for a while. He had a double ear infection that he had a hard time getting over. He's still not himself. Kiah also had a double ear infection. I have strep and Schy hasn't been feeling well either. I'm sick of sickness!

Schy and I haven't had a chance to celebrate our anniversary yet, but Sunday was 6 years. I can't believe how fast time goes! I made this page for schy for our anniversary:

This is exactly how I feel about us. If you look at us on the outside we may seem very different. But if you know who we really are, what's important to us, what we believe... we are the same. I love him so much! He doesn't know what an amazing father and husband he is. He keeps me happy. I love you Schy!
