Small blessings...

Wow what a week!! I have been reminded of a very important lesson this week...We only have so much control of our lives, the rest is in Gods hands! Monday, Kelsey had her pool therapy - went fabulous! She loves Kristen (her p/t at Healing Bridge). We will have Hippo therapy this upcoming Tuesday, and I will be sure to post pictures! Tuesday, Kelsey had group and did great - I left her once again in the loving hands of her teachers - and she never fussed or looked for me! A great thing!

Tuesday afternoon I fulfilled my promise to James to put the garland up on our staircase at home - very fun and sure helps get us all in the Holiday spirit!
Wednesday, James had an early wake up call when he fell out of bed and bonked his head. We took him in late to school that day and on the way home from dropping him off, I figured out that I had a screw poked in my rear tire on the Expedition and it was going flat - so my planned morning of getting "Tons Done" was cancelled and replaced with an hour and a half of sitting at Les Schwab eating popcorn. Today, I had 2 extra children at our house - and lets just say that it was a rough afternoon! What do all the bumps in the road mean? I believe that it is God's way of keeping us on track! This week especially, I could have easily been steered off course with worrying about some other family issues at hand. Instead, the bumpy week has kept my focus on my first and foremost priorities - my family!
Blessings...I had a very close friend say to me this week, "Blessings are coming in all the time, you just have to look for them." Correct you are my friend! $1.99 per gallon of gas this week when I filled up, James was not injured when he bonked his head, Kelsey was happy at group, I got in touch with an old friend from high school, etc., etc., etc.! You just have to look!
