hot date

Moody and I had one hot date last night! It included our sweet baby Abe and a nursing home, but with many kids, you take what you can get! :)

Abe has qualified for a program that will allow us to have some respite care and support paying for therapies, equipment, etc. It is a HUGE blessing. We have paid out of pocket for everything so far-- gotta love insurance. :)

The interesting thing about qualifying for this program is that you need to stay in a nursing home for 30 days, though it can be reduced to 24 hours if your Dr. writes a reason for a shorter stay. So Moody, Abey and I drove to Granbury yesterday afternoon, hunkered down in our room and were discharged at 12:05 am. Technically we admitted one day and were discharged the next! We were happy to jump through whatever hoops we needed to in order to qualify for this program. It will be a big relief to us! We are so grateful to the Lord for His provision. :)

Really lovely-- had difficult time with iphone self-portrait. Abe was loving this date.
All 3 of us cozy on our very small bed!

UPDATE ON RACE-- $720 have been raised for Rainey's race on Sunday. AMAZING!!! That is $55. 38 per mile!! Oh, AND WE LEAVE IN 9 DAYS- YAHOO!!!!

Goodness Emily, it has been so long. I had been sidetracked by 6 kids (just you wait!!!) and had stopped reading blogs or even blogging for far too long. Now I am back. Am catching up on your news and was so thrilled to see your video of sweet Eyasu! Was extra thrilled to see Dereje in it! Please give him my love when you see him next week. I will be there in late January and cannot wait to see he and his family. My prayers are with you for a very safe trip! Blessings to all of you, God is sooo good!
Love, Kristin and clan
