Remembering***

It's now been 5 years since our little Angel came into our lives. Only for a short while. Mark Thomas Jr. Born and died on November 25th , 2002. at 6:14pm. He changed our lives forever. It changed our way of thinking and living. It has brought us closer to some and further from others. It's brought friends into our lives that I do not think we would have met otherwise. God does work in ways that we do not understand. In the last 5 years, many of the people around us have lost babies or children. It's helped us understand and be there for them in a way that others that have not been through it couldn't . It's a memory that I would love to have changed the ending. But the friendship we have made, I wouldn't change.

Be thankful for what you have........ it may just be for a short while!!!!!

Bedlem

WOW- What a game on Saturday!!! We had a great time at the OU/OSU game. We took the girls and D stayed at my mom and dads. It was only 41 degrees. But we where warm through the whole game. We had our first snow on Friday night and Saturday. It didn't stay to long.

Here is a picture of D with Santa that my mom had made at Wal-mart. Enjoy!!!!!!!

The kids started back at school again today. Br- was out for a week and day. Ch- was only out for 3 days. Now, they go back just to be out in 27 days for 2 1/2 weeks. I love to have them home. It's great to be able to spend time with them, not just a short evening.

Holidays

Well,
The holidays have began. Christmas lights are going up everywhere. It seems to come faster every year.
Well, this Holiday (Thanksgiving). I am thankful for my healthy, wonderful family. For the love we all share. For the time we have to spend with one another. I am thankful for God who has put things in our lives that we may not understand, but it's for our own good. For God for looking out for what we need and reminding us, we do not need it all. I am thankful for all the friends God has blessed our lives with. I just felt like writing the stuff I was thankful for . I am feeling really blessed this year.
To add a little blessing, Br is off her seizure meds. She has been seizure free for 2 years this Dec. 10th. Thank you GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone have a blessed Thanksgiving and may you find love within your family that will keep your life at peace. CJP
