October?!

This month has been crazy weather. From severe storms to the most beautiful Indian summer! Last night we could hear the ocean just rumbling, which in all fairness we live about a half mile from the beach! So, we decided to load the kids up and go to the beach to watch the sunset. I captured these pictures and fell in love with them! Last week was a bit crazy to say the very least. My mom ended up having to be transported to the hospital via ambulance last Tuesday and didn't get out until Friday. The doctor said if she hadn't of been brought in, she would have been dead by the next day. Who knew a UTI could cause death?! I do now! The infection went into her bladder, kidneys, and eventually made it to her lungs...I guess that is what happens when it becomes septic! It was very scary for her and I. She can't remember most of the week, but I do. All I kept thinking is she is the same age my dad was when he passed away and it is almost 3 years since that happened. I am not ready to deal with this again. I plan on her being around for at least 20 more years if not more. She is doing much better now. Getting home and getting some much needed rest has done her a world of good...that and a crap ton of antibiotics!!!

Ballerina!

Emily LOVED ballet! It was difficult to get her out of her skirt after we got home, she even wanted to wear it to bed!! She is disappointed that it is only one day a week, but for this mommy, I am thrilled that it is only one day a week! Trying to play catch up with homework and dinner for four kids when we got home was rather interesting...ugh! But, I am happy that I was able to get her into something that she really enjoys, especially with the weather getting ready to be constant rain and the ability to go outside and play is going to be hardly ever.
