And so after 14 days trapped in this bed I have decided to embark on blogging...
Everyone continues to ask the same question... Is this one a girl too?? We smile and happily reply "Yes". Quite simply we live in a princess world. And I must say that we are very happy in it. Tea parties materialize in an instant, fairy mice are regularly seen dancing with small blond headed moppets, and best all boys are yucky, unless you are Prince Charming or Daddy!!
We have been on a very interesting journey these last two weeks... but my little princesses have been doing so well. Today they told me the best part of the day is coming to see me. I've gotten smothered in hugs and kisses. Zara tries to wash all my iv sites with wipes and make them go away. They say continually that I'm the best mommy ever and they promise to show me the way out of this hospital just as soon as the Doctor lets me get out of bed!! Odelia's best doll has been spending every night here with me in the baby warmer. And Aviela sends one of her imaginary mice friends here to keep me company each evening... Penelope is here tonight. Only the girl mice will come because Jaque and Gus Gus DO NOT like the hospital!!!! When Aaron strolls the girls out each day I choke back tears and realize how very much I love my family. This time away from the daily dishes, constant requests, laundry and pretty much everything has made me ever grateful for all of those things. I love being their mommy and Aaron's wife. I am eagerly awaiting the day when the newest Princess and I get to escape from here. Until then prayers sustain me.
Oh, Sarah ~ this is so precious ~ I can just hear your sweet voice and see those big round, expressive, searching eyes as you speak ~ and of course, your lovely smile that declares the sweetness of Jesus in your countenance. Just last night, we watched "Enchanted" ... AGAIN (for the 5th time, probably!) ... but don't tell anyone Denny watches it with me! :) We first saw it in Colorado during a visit to our kids. It was just a date outing for the two of us, but Enchanted was playing in Woodland Park, so we went to that movie. It was so sweet! ... and even Denny liked it. I laugh and squeal all the way through it, as I watch Gisel and behold her sweet, sincere spirit. Just loved all the birds, mice, bees, insects, etc. coming to her aid to clean house! And the Prince is just too funny :) The storyline is actually very touching indeed (and I LOVE the songs). I've always been averse to all the magic/dragon/evil stuff, but somehow this story really touched my heart. The beautiful, puffy sleeved wedding dress was exactly what I would always draw on my "princesses" when I was little ... :) Hope you've see the movie! You are a PRINCESS of THE KING ... a beautiful example of patient endurance and GRACE. We love hearing from you on your FB ... and now this blog. Leaving you with Psalm 105:1-4
ReplyDelete1 O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
