Mamaw & the Waterpark

Mamaw is doing a little better and got to come home from the hospital yesterday. Hospice care came and set everything up at her house so she can spend her time comfortably in her own home. I went over today, and her sister, Tink, brought over a ham and we had sandwiches. Mamaw actually ate a plate of food, which is no small feat these days. She eats like a bird these days and it's hard to get her to eat anything at times. She does have lots of help, though. I am there when I can be, which is hard with a family at home that includes three little ones. Of course, don't take that as a complaint, because I want to spend every minute I can with her. My dad and aunt are almost always there with her, thank GOD they are at a time in their lives when they are able to do this. Then, my cousin just got into town and she has been helping a lot as well. My cousin who my Mamaw helped raise and is very close to, is coming home next Monday. She is not aware of Mamaw's health issues...please say a prayer for her...I know she is going to be crushed, and she has a LOT on her right now, trying to get her life together and all...so I am just praying this won't completely overwhelm her.
My family was supposed to go out of town for a few days, but I didn't feel right about leaving with everything that is going on. However, since Mamaw was doing a little better, and had plenty of people to care for her, David and I decided to take the kids to Hawaiian Falls in Frisco (the Colony, whatever?!). They played Christian music and had Bible verses placed around...which for some reason just made me feel good. We spent the whole day there and had a blast. We had so much fun!!! The kids deserved this, and with all the stuff going on here at home, I just wanted some quality time with them. I could go on and on...but I will just say our family had a blessed, awesome day together. My friend, Desiree, actually had plans to take her boys on the same day (which I had no idea about until Weds....isn't that crazy!!). So we did hang out with them some and the boys all had a great time. Isabel was in love with the place...she had no fear and went down some pretty big slides all day long all by herself!

(David and I aren't used to this much physical activity...lol)

We went to Razoo's afterwards and Andrew wouldn't even wake up, he slept in the booth the whole time, it was hilarious until he fell over and out of the booth and busted his head on the floor...it was horrible...the funny (or sad) thing is, today he doesn't even remember it happening, and he went right back to sleep once we helped him back into the booth...


So, we all came home worn out and with a little too much sun (despite my avid sunblock applications), but the Lord blessed us with some much needed downtime and a safe trip...we are thankful.
Also David's parents left for Mexico today, I am always sad when the leave and we aren't going with them, just because I love it sooo much. So, I pray they have a blessed, safe trip with no problems. And, the same to any of you taking any trips for the rest of the summer vacation...be blessed, have fun, & be safe.
I can't believe summer is flying by so quickly!

Love you all,
Katy
