Sometimes being a mom means having to post lots of photos of kids…not just any kids, my kids. Why? Because they are just so beautiful and amazing that I have to share them with the world.

And sometimes being a mom means spending a night in the emergency room. I was caught off guard since my 4yr old wasn’t really all that sick. I hate the moment when you have to decide is it time to go or should we wait. If we had waited we no doubt would have gone by ambulance. We entered the hospital with no fever and normal oxygen levels. Not half an hour later he was in an all out croup attack. If you’ve never experienced it it’s much like asthma. I knew he’d be ok but he didn’t. He hated it all and, though I wasn’t scared, when he squeezed my finger over and over (because that was our ’scared’ signal) it nearly broke my heart.

We’re home now. We got back around 7am. I managed five minutes here and there of sleep. So today, is a pictureless post. When I muster up some energy and the fog clears from my eyes I’ll consider a post later. Today I’m thanking the Lord for emergency medicine and the people that know exactly what to do…oh yes and I’m thankful also for my beautiful niece Kassi who slept on our couch so we didn’t have to wake our littlest guy.
