March 365

March- 365

I have been a huge slacker this 

month with the blog. 

I can't blame it on not having time. 

Time is all I have had. 

Honestly, I have felt like we really 

haven't done much. 

I have spent the entire month sitting 

in the living room chair

or my wheelchair. 

But after downloading this month's 

pictures I saw I had over 50 

(the point of 365 is to have 1 per day)

so apparently we have more to 

remember than I realized! 

March 1

American Idol started back.

It's the girls favorite show!

Here they are dancing with Jared!

The kids LOVE to play and ride

in my wheelchair!

March 2

The girls all ready for school!

Every other Friday the church has

someone to come clean the 

house for us. (We are very very thankful!)

We go to Ihop to get out of their way!

March 3

We (the kids and mom) decorated

the house for Easter!

March 5

 I thought I was going to have a little thumb sucker

but now she prefers sucking on her entire fist!

 "happy", an edible bouquet!

they showed!

MANY sleepless nights!

Cousins/ Best Friends

One of the best things about 

my accident is the delicious food

we have been brought!

This red velvet cake was AMAZING!

The last night all the cousins were visiting

we played "Drawsome" kiddie style!

March 14

I had several helpers on my

trip to Target!

I never thought I'd be so excited about 

being able to take a real shower!

 While sitting I decided to go through some old

pictures and came across this!

Love Fathers white suit!

March 20

I absolutely love that my accident

has given so many of my old friends an excuse

to come visit!

I  really enjoyed visiting with Melissa!

March 21

My kids love to go through the carwash!

You'd think we were at Disney World!

Also, Haley had never driven a car

through the wash!

Big treat for everyone!

FREE delicious cupcakes!!!!

No more CPM!!!!

I finally reached my goal on my flexion and

physical therapy allowed me to stop doing the 

CPM!!!

March 27

Good report at the doctor!

Only two more weeks until

I can put weight on my foot!

Jared and I celebrated and

he treated me to my

 first Thai food

experience!

It was delicious!

My friend Jennifer brings Roman home 

from preschool every Wednesday and visits

for the afternoon.

She and Evan came to babysit me and Lottie this

Tuesday since all my help was sick.

I am very thankful for her company and friendship!

in Montgomery to get the kids back!

They got to meet Lottie for the 1st time!

March 31

Nixon was so happy to be home with Lottie!

She begged to change her diaper,

and she did much better than I expected! :) 

It rained all day up to the church's

Easter egg hunt!

They went to a muddy egg hunt and had a blast! 

Unfortunately, Lottie and I had to stay home

because of the weather. 

(mud and wheelchairs don't mix) 

It was a long month. 

As you can probably tell by

 the angle of the pictures

 I sat in the same spot 

most of the time.

I am so thankful for so many who 

brought us dinner each night, who came to visit,

who just sent a card or made a phone call.

It really made the month go by faster 

(not fast but faster)

and it made it a lot easier.

I am thankful I have been 

able to make it to church the past

two Sundays and

get out more!

I am looking forward to April. 

Hopefully I will be standing in next month's

pictures!!!

Our Lord has definitely taught us
so much through this accident and
continues to do so.

Below is our (mine and Jared's)
March verse.  We thank God for allowing
us to continue to grow in grace, knowledge and
obedience in Him throughout these
past two months.
