First of Many Scares

Yes it has been a while! So sorry. As most of you know I work for the March of Dimes. Our largest fundraising event is coming up in a month, March for Babies. So my life has been a little busy.
This past weekend was absolutely beautiful so we headed up to Wye Mountain to the Daffodil Festival for some family pictures. Angel Babies, MfB team, set up Photos for Babies. All the money went to the March of Dimes.

When we got home, we decided to go back outside and enjoy the wonderful weather. Brylee can now open and close our doors. She decided to go back inside. I gathered Luke up and headed back inside but there was no Brylee. She has started playing hide and go seek so I started hollaring for her. When she didn't answer, I checked the front yard, but no Brylee. I then went into panic mode. I started running through the house. Mind you Jeremy was asleep the entire time. Something told me to check the front yard one more time. I open the door to find my 1 an half year old daughter standing at the front door. It was the scariest moment of my life. I just picked her up and held her tight. I was so thankful she was ok that I couldn't get on to her.
I thought Brylee running outside alone was pretty scary but nothing as scary as last night was. When I got home from work, I ordered us pizza to pick up because we were all so sleepy. Well, Brylee was the least bit sleepy. She was playing with Aden's boots and then in her boots that are a little too big and have a little heel. Jeremy and her went out in the garage to play. Few minutes later I hear a scream and then Jeremy busting in the house with Brylee gushing blood from her mouth. I was feeding Luke. I've never ripped a child off me so fast. My first thought while cleaning her up was OMG I'm going to be using Arkansas Children's Hospital for the first time in my life. The bleeding wouldn't stop. I finally figured out it was only her lip bleeding. We decided to take her up to the ambulance bay to make sure it didn't need stitches. They said that they thought it would be ok. She is going to have a big lip and a sore face for a little while. So glad we got family pictures Saturday. In the process of getting her cleaned up, I discovered 8 new teeth coming in. This explains her fussiness lately.Two scares in a few days is two too many.

Dear Jesus, thank you for the many blessings you have given our family. Thank you for protecting Brylee when she fell. It really could have been a lot worse than what it was. I've never been so scared in my life. I love you!
