Boy- I am just beat. The good news is that we filled up Gabe's truck with boxes of stuff for the freesale, plus a few in my van... Over a dozen just with the girls' clothes and toys.
It was really difficult going through their clothes! Hard to think I may never have a baby girl again! Then getting past that, and realizing that I have a good sized yard sale here... and feeling a little greedy. I took it to Gabe, and he gave me good advice. We have been blessed, now bless others. Still difficult, but good to have his wisdom to encourage me. On that note, I am so thankful for the Lord's leading in becoming a good help meet and trusting my husband. I should not shoulder it all, especially when it is so much easier to say, "I need help with this," and submit to his advice. I never would have thought I would say that, but He has blessed me with this truth. Just like asking the Lord, and then submitting to His wisdom.
Tonight we went back for the church body's blessing night and picked up just a few things. Mainly, since the girls helped me pack up 6+ boxes of toys, I promised they could pick out a new toy for themselves. Melia chose a Bratz barbie which I asked her to switch for a less-made-up one (and she did very willingly! AMEN!) with a box of clothes, and Kiera picked out a large Polly Pocket house, with one of the Sleeping Beauty fairies and cat to live in it. Pretty cute, watching them decide. The funny thing is... I snuck a smaller Polly house into the boxes, and she managed to find a bigger one to bring home. :-) Ah well.
And another note- Please pray for Kiera's eyes. Wednesday she started getting weepy, then a bit mucousy in one eye. Last night it expanded to the other eye... I've been using the oils to keep the mucous at bay, which seem to be working well... But today her initial eye started to turn pink... Itchy or painful, they don't seem to be bothering her, except when I wipe them out. I've been praying it isn't pinkeye... But I will probably be taking her to the walk-in tomorrow morning unless they've cleared up. Bad timing, because tomorrow is Annie's baby shower... :-( Blech.

Why not take her to an optometrist? They take both vision and medical insurance, and are better equipped to take care of eye problems than regular doctors. Just a suggestion from a future OD :)
Main reason? It's Saturday... :-)
BTW, it's nice to hear from you! How's everything with you all?
I guess that's a pretty good reason, if they're closed on Sat :)
Mark and I are doing great! I just finished my first Board exam last month (still don't know results though), and have only a month left till I begin clinical rotations. Miss you and the fam!
