Summer

So yesterday I was able to take the day off of work and go with Melanie and Summer to her regular doctors appointment. I had a good time visiting with Melanie and catching up and seeing what her day in and day out stuff she has to deal with, with Summer. Melanie is the perfect mother for her and Summer is such a cute baby. I was quite humbled to see everything she has to do for Summer and see what Summer has over came and has to still go through. Seeing alot of the kids at children's hospital is quite sad and happy at the same time. These kids that are coming in and out with their parents are from all ages and you don't know what is wrong for them to be there. Some of them you can guess but you don't know what they have gone through to be were they are today. Melanie is such a good mom and all of the people that she had to see that day were full of smiles when they saw Melanie walk up. Melanie has such a great spirit and up beat personality that no matter what she is there for she puts her best face forward and pushes along. I don't think that I could have been through what she has with these babies.
When i got home I ran and picked up Treavor from daycare, HaiLee was walking home from school right as we pulled up, Tj was already at home and BreAnna was on her way home from a school project that she was working on. For a few hours I was able to see what blessings I have in my life with kids that are healthy. I complain about my kids for one reason or another, not able to get through to them, or understand what is going on with them. I take for granted that they are able walk, talk, think, make decisions good or bad, go to school, eat, drink, you name it.
Melanie, thank you for letting me tag along and I so enjoyed it and like I said Summer should really be the poster child for them, she is way cuter than the ones that they have on there and thank you for being such a great mom and a great friend to me. You are a great insperation to me. Thanks again!!
