Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to wish everyone a very Happy and safe Thanksgiving....

Love,

Cindy

Fall is definitely here!

Rakin' leaves at Papa's house

Josh won blue ribbon for his photography.
Cristian won blue ribbon for his flower pot (painted and decorated it)

More raking.

Below is a video of Emy

She is a cheerleader....ENJOY..

If you can't understand it, they are shouting

"Get on the Trojan train, ride it ride it, get on the Trojan Train, See how we MOVE"

They are the "TROJANS" which is very NEAT because I went to school there when I was little.

I was a cheerleader there too!

Thanks and I'm Realizing

Thanks so much to everybody for their thoughts, prayers, visits, calls, emails and just your love you have shown me before, during and after my surgery..I have some very nice coworkers and friends--one called me before surgery-Teresa, some called me afterward-Sheila Sw & Tina-and I know I had a few praying for me during it all (Teresa, Tara, Angela, Sheila Sw, Sheila Sm, Sheila J, Tina). Also, I am enjoying some emails from those girls too-Angela!!

My church is pretty great too--thanks for the visit John & Bill (to the waiting room w/ my family) and all the prayers and emails. (Carrie)

Also thanks for coming by the waiting room-Darlene, Aunt Robbie (my Uncle James was in the hospital the same day I was for a cardiac cath and everything was FINE with him--Praise the Lord)--Christy & Darlene for coming to visit in the room..I may have missed someone because I was kind of in and out for a few hours. THANKS TO ALL....And, by the way--I had excellent nurses for the most part and a great doctor--even the transporters were great--Thanks Don & MAX!

Thanks to Ma, Pa, Angie, Greg, Josh, Cristian, Emy & Luke and my Papa--they have called and visited and they are the BEST!!

Christy-thanks so much for the food and visit--Panera Bread does it just right every time!!

Thanks to you too Kenneth & Bethany & Christopher--VERY YUMMY DEER ROAST...

I am realizing too that I have probably been a BEAR to live with the past few days-especially and probably ONLY to Darrell. I am such an ill butt-sorry for such candid words, but here lately that is how I feel-CANDID. Through it all, I am realizing that it is a good thing to be smothered after surgery--it's only because they love me and NOW I am LOVING every minute of every smothery action. . . for a few days, I was touchy and irritable and just downright GRUMPY....oh well, I guess he will forgive me.

I forgave him for the smothering part!!

Love you Darrell! Y'all-he has been the BEST husband and daddy ever. From taking the kids to school, to bathing them, feeding all of us, cleaning, cooking, laundry--HE IS THE BOMB!! Through it all, he never put me in my place--what a guy! One in a Million--MINE!! I am SO BLESSED!!!!

And, NO--I don't share.....I don't even rent him out! HA!

Later y'all.

EMY IS 6 YEARS OLD TODAY!

Emy's cake she shared with her class today.

Darrell did a GREAT job.

Candy--from the pinata Emy took to school today.

Emy's teachers and some of her Kindergarten class..

We LOVE her teachers this year!!

They are THE BEST!

The "Birthday Girl" got to choose someone special to sit by her while they ate the cake.

Emy chose LENA!

Love your hat Emy!

Emy got to bang it around ALOT!

My cutie patootie.

I got through surgery and am back home and back to the chaos..

I never realized how much I picked up my children until now when I can't. They won't let me lift anything heavier than a milk jug until at least Thursday--fun days to come, I'm sure.

I have not had to take any pain medicine for my head yet; however,

my first IV site caused me severe pain and a bad bruis; therefore, I took a little something for that.

Surgery was yesterday morning at 11:15--I was in recovery at 12:15, in my private room at 2:30 and home today at 1:30pm...

Time flies when you are having fun, ya know?

Later y'all.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Cindy
