Thanksgiving week kicked off with festivities at the kids preschool. I had to be at BSF super early so Philip was in charge of getting the kids up and ready and to school. Parker had his thanksgiving feast where they made turkey hats. Ainsley has real pumpkin muffins at school and made a picture of the Mayflower. When asked what she was thankful for, Ainsley stated “people. And trees”. So there ya go.
Wednesday Ainsley used her last coupon in her 2017 coupon book that Gramma Joy gives her and they went to the aquarium.
While Ainsley was gone, things took an unexpected turn and I ended up spending the next 8 hours in the ER with my parents (who spent over 12 hours in the ER). My dad fell on the farm and cut his eye. He was transferred from gtown to UK where he ended up needing a specialized surgery to repair his eyelid and tear duct. After a few set backs and one incompetent resident, Daddy finally had surgery and got home about 3am. Aunt Ellen spent the last (and latest) leg at the hospital and played cards with mom during surgery. I begged Mom to postpone Thanksgiving dinner until Friday but her and Dad insisted and just pushed the time from 11 to 4:30.
So we were a little tired but happy to be together. We had a wonderful meal full of delicious food and delightful company. And mom and dad both got a good nights rest.
So this year we are especially thankful that Dads eye will heal. And that our God is a God who hears us when we cry out to Him.
Now here are some pics of my cute kids bc i can’t think about dads poor eye anymore.
Peace out thanksgiving, Christmas- come to Momma!
