we're back to waiting.
zoe was doing pretty well the past couple of days.
now she's back in PICU as of this morning. dad rushed back off to the hospital and the little boys are at grandma's. isabel, kellen and i are left with packing up our house.
it's snowing like crazy..

hey hey hey what can i say..
it's just been one of those one of those days..

it's been one of those years.
where everything is going to go "perfect" and it doesn't...it doesn't go as planned.
we wait things out...

i'm thankful for all the bumps that we've hit this year..but it's hard being in one of those years.

zoe is in picu. please pray. we don't know what's going to happen.

here's a picture of her from two days ago...you can tell she's really pudgy and has GREAT coloring.
now we'll see. please pray.



now it's time for me to stop being incredibly lazy...and get ready for the move in 2 weeks. we have a lot of packing to do.
just a lot of crap going on....

mmmm....thanksgiving nachos.

so we're just chilling here at deirdre's for now. minte and isabel have been reading from the same book. the football game was on and people were watching and playing computer games. now we've shifted to minte and isabel still reading the same book, kellen and brennick playing basketball or something and temish playing some club penguin.

we woke up this morning and had some scones and irish soda bread for breakfast with tea.
then just a few minutes ago minte decided that she was going to make some nachos. :) we're going around the world for thanksgiving i guess. i finished making some stuffing and now we're waiting on some turkey and we're going to hang out with dad and the boys!

i have some really awesome pictures from the past few days including a thanksgiving card that i hope to be putting up online sometime soon! i just haven't had the wi-fi ability to do that.

zoe's breathing right now and ted and gina just went to go visit dad, jen and her at the hospital!



thank you thank you .

i'm going to go finish up this stuffing and then wait some more...
time to figure out what's going on for the rest of the day.

comewhat may...

we were really excited to go and get out for the night because i think we all needed some laughter int his time of waiting.

we talked to jonathan for a while.... he was really surprised that i took josh's album pics. and supposedly jonathan and josh are "bff's" now. :)

Shine YOur LIght on Us
robbie seay band


Oh, my God
Shine Your light on us
That we might live


I've been holding on
I've been holding on
All that is inside me
Screams to come back home

If you feel lost
If you feel lost
Sing along
If you feel tired
If you feel tired
Sing along

If you feel lost and tired
This is your song


I've been broken down
I've been broken down
I ain't giving up
Love will come back around


Shine Your light
Shine it down
Let Your rescue come for us, we long to love

And if you feel lost, sing along
And if you feel tired, sing along



Dad and jen are at the hospital right now. zoe's surgery started a while ago. i don't know when really but it was supposed to start at 2. Dad's been blogging like crazy. i think partially to keep himself busy and also to keep the hundreds of people praying for her and us all over the world.
isabel and i are just chilling out at deirdre's right now. mostly because we have nothing to do but also because we're waiting.
we're waiting for this benefit concert that we are going to try and go to for a family in grafton. it should be a good time. josh is going to sing at it and we want to go and support him. minte is sitting here waiting with us and we're just waiting for so much...
we're waiting for news.
we're waiting for deirdre to get back with omi and grandpadu.
we're waiting...
we're waiting...
we all dread it but we don't know how else to do this. people were asking me why i didn't stay home today. i couldn't have just sat at deirdre's all day waiting. waiting for what? for the surgery to start? for people to tell me something? what would i have been waiting for? i was waiting at school. i was distracted by my schoolwork. but i had to be.
i couldn't just sit all day waiting.

now we're waiting...and waiting.

i hate waiting. i am impatient and it's always a time where we have to wait for something.
i have to go wait some more. praying and waiting.
thank you. thank you thankyou.

i have to go............
comewhat may....

packing

:)
i know i write this post every once in a while...but i love updating it because even though i forget some things it's still fun to think of.
and speaking of packing.. i should probably go through some more stuff to get rid of. :)
and possibly some tea because there is a "tickle in my throat"

this past weekend was a really fun time. on friday erin and i decided to go to the play. we went and bought food and then sat in the back snacking and watching the 2.5 hour long play! saturday morning i got up bright and early at 5 to go to CUC with erin. we drove there and got there on time. :) then we had all that fun visit day stuff. we saw matt miller. he's pretty awesome. he's always really nice and i was pretty surprised that he actually recognized us because he sees TONS of people all over the country telling them to come to the school. i saw PHIL! and chris and kristin and brad! it was really a good time. kristin and brad came and ate lunch with us. they brought wingstop and i just laughed because i've heard stories about wingstop. brad's a pretty cool guy it seemed like.
after the visit day we headed home. i watched cloverfield and hung out. then yesterday i got to packing again. i cleaned out the bathroom of crap we don't need anymore. it's like the easiest job to do around the house because all i end up doing is throwing stuff away. it's awesome.
today was a really good day. i don't know why but it just happened to be that way.
i talked to josh some the past few days. and i always am happy to talk to him...even if it is texting.
then erin and i sat in mr. staub's room again today. today was peanut m&m day. we need to stock up on some treats. cause them are good. i dont know.
ummm.
as of right now. i'm freezing cold because our furnace isn't working right now. so even though our thermometer says it's 60 degrees in our house. i definitely believe that it is colder because it snowed outside today. it's not a lot of snow but enough to get everyone freaking out about it.
so i'm under three comforters right now in a long-sleeve shirt and zip-up sweatshirt and two pairs of pajama pants. i'm a little crazy cause i'm always cold but this doesn't help much either. :)

time for me to read and then sleep......

wow. today's thursday...it's probably been like 2 weeks since i've written anything. i've been kinda busy and extremely exhausted for a while. i think it's just mostly the time change situation but this year it's really thrown me off. i don't think i'm the only one either. it stinks because it's getting dark at like 430 or 5 now. it's crazy.

erin and i have been hanging out a TON. last weekend was nice because we had a shortened day on thursday and then on friday we had a student help day. the shortened day was nice and then erin and i went to go hang out. we went to mcdonald's and got some hot chocolate and sat and talked for a long time...then we just were going to grab glue from Wal-Mart but then we stood in the art supplies aisle for like 20 minutes talking about everything that we loved about crayons and being kids. like having no care in the world at all. we talked about lisa frank and everything because i had to explain to selah and elise what lisa frank folders were and everything. it was so weird because when i was in kindergarten it was so cool. ;) ok. well not only kindergarten but some other grades too. after we looked at that we walked through the rest of the store and just walked around. finally we ended up in the craft corner. it was fun. we just were looking around and we decided that we were going to make pillows. so we got buttons and fabric for our pillow cases and our sewing stuff. then we hid in my room for a few hours and just made pillows. :) we didnt' end up finishing but got majority done.
on sunday we hung out again..well we went to bible study together. i love bible study. it's a fun time. lately so many people have been coming!
this week i've worked and hung out with erin. :) we went to out and out and then we were bugged by "gerry the crossing guard". yeah. he was convinced that i was going to have to walk across the street. then he tried convincing us that we needed to go to starbucks and get some hot chocolate.
anyway. dad worked for 72 hours in 4 days this week. he's tired...he's actually already asleep.

last week friday was a cool day because i went in for precalc which sucked but i then i went to help mr. staub with some stuff. i hung out in his room for like 2 hours or so. i organized music and then kaitlin and i went and we got lunch. when we got back kaitlin and i brought mr.staub some food and ate lunch in his room. it was a good time because we just talked about winterim and stuff.
then this tuesday erin and i helped mr. staub sort fruit info out. ok well i sat on my computer working on other stuff but they worked on it and i sat there. :)
"i love little debbie"-- quote of the day. love it.

i got erin hooked on moulin rouge too.

ok i gotta go do some journalism and general business.

i'm not going to lie. lately it has been pretty boring around here.
the auction was on saturday and i had a cold and i was dead tired.

erin and i have decided that moulin rouge is the best movie. we love it.
i'm tired.
so i won't try to write anything else right now..
now it's time for sleep........
