Ella ventured to school with me today. She was diagnosed with RSV last Friday but she is doing much better. Each day she sounds better and coughs less. She is cooing and ahhahhing so much these days. She is responding to me smiling at her. It is great to see those true smiles and not just from gas. LOL. I think she is starting to figure out where her hands are. She was swatting at a toy and it appeared to be purposeful swatting not just random moving of the arms. I reflect back on the last two and half months and wonder where the time has gone. She no longer fits snuggly on my chest. I already miss that.
The weather was so nice today after dinner we decided to go for a walk. Ella had her first outing in the snugglie carrier. Amelia and Caden pushed their kid strollers. Amelia pushed a baby in her stroller where Caden pushed a baseball. Ah! That's my son. When we got home oldest kids took their bath and off to bed. Ella on the other hand sat in her bouncy chair and watched mommy work out. With everything that happened with Tanya my workout schedule got put on hold. Good news though today that Natalie may be able to come home real soon. She was getting her hearing screening today and her Hep B vaccine. Things are looking good that she will be home for Easter.
While at school today I did let them know that I have decided not to return to work this school year. I need to focus on me and my family. It was a hard decision and financially we will be pinching our pennies but it will be worth it. God is leading me in this direction for a reason.

Oh Stacy I love to hear about these great days in your life! Walking outside with the family, the simple things just make me tear up! LOL! Glad to hear Ella is coughing less. That RSV thing is crazy. It seems like so many kids get it. Your decision to not return this year totally makes sense. You are an amazing teacher and I am sure it was a tough decision, but you have to do what is right for you and your family. Having this extra time will be great healing for you! You are right, God will ALWAYS provide. Keep your eyes on him and he will NEVER fail you! You have been through so much these past few months and you just need to keep taking it day by day and find rest and comfort in your family. I'm always praying for you and your family! Love you!
