Black Friday Shopping

I know what you're going to say...I'm a horrible mom for getting my daughter up and taking her shopping this morning. But in my defense she's usually up at this time anyway.

For the record I told her to look mean...hahaha!
I usually don't look this happy in the mornings, but the thought of getting a sewing machine for only $50 was really making my morning a little brighter.
We were waiting for Daddy to get dressed so we could all go together into the madness.

Disappointing trip to Walmart...but never fear I was able to snatch one up online.

Our Thanksgiving

Well before I get into our Thanksgiving feast, let me first start off by telling you what has transpired in the last three weeks.

On Friday, November 5, 2010 Steve was admitted into Bakersfield Memorial Hospital. He was diagnosed with staph bacterial pnemonia. His right lung was almost collapsed and his heart rate was extremely high just resting. He was in the hospital for almost 11 days and was able to come home on Monday, November 15, 2010. He is still off of work and he still has his iv's but he is doing better. We hope he will be well enough within the next week or so he can go back to work.

So this Thanksgiving we are extremely grateful that our Daddy and Husband is home and is recovering. It was a long 10 days but we are getting back to normal.
