Christmas Fun...

Christmas Blessings...

Merry Christmas!!!

Loving Father, help us remember the birth of Jesus,

That we may share in the song of the angels,

the gladness of the shepherds, and worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world.

Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.

Deliver us from evil by the blessing, which Christ brings,

and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.

May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children,

and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful

thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake.

Amen

Robert Louis Stevenson

Jillian's #2 Party

November 14th is National Diabetes Awareness Day

Each day Jilli gets...

4 blood sugar checks via finger pokes before every meal and then at bedtime. She gets 2 insulin injections every morning of 3 different types of insulins and sometimes one at lunch and one at dinner, depending on her blood sugar levels. Eveything she eats must be monitored and carefully chosen. Carb counting is the new math in our family.

Yet through it all, she's one of the happiest toddlers I know and always has a smile on her face. Even when it's "b00-boo" time, which is BSL check time/finger poke time.

We are so proud of you baby girl. We admire your strength and courage for all you must endure at your young age. We love you so very much!!!
