Christmas Eve!

It is 4:54 am and Alex, Andy and Ashley have just left for the airport. Obviously we are not going to get Aaron up this early to see Ashley off so I am staying home. Poor Alex after almost 4 years of this, I still cannot ever find words that make sense for this situation. Today it was "it is what it is, this is our life and we just have to be thankful for what we do have". Wow-amazing choice huh? I guess that is the way that I do look at it-it is our life. Alex, Becky and Diana made choices that made this our reality and we have to make the best of it. Ashley is sad, but she is truly a Mommy's girl and she would be miserable without her Mom so she needs to be with her. Andy on the other hand-I won't even go there this early in the morning. So, please prat for my husband, our kids and especially Aaron as I cannot even think of what the day will be like as he non-stop calls for Nene and she is nowhere to be found.

Yesterday we celebrated Alex's birthday. I made meatloaf for lunch, Krissy made cake and the kids gave him Dolphins jibbtiz and an iPod. I took Alex, Andy and Ashley to Monster Jam and they were all really excited. The kids had never been, but they LOVED it. We were able to see the Superman truck for the first time and were mortified-he sucked! The only bad thing about Monster Jam is Grave Digger-I cannot stand that truck. Perhaps becasue he is always the crowd favorite or something. Krissy and Tish kept Aaron and then we went to Pizza Hut.

My Grandma(Dad's Mom) is in the hospital so keep her in your thoughts as well.

I know there are many of you that read this so please pray for us today-it is also Alex's birthday! I love you Alex and I am so sorry that your heart is so broken today.
