Ever since our ER trip we were having to go back into the doctor every single week because Luke wasn't gaining enough weight (this is according to the doctor). We were not worried because he seemed to be thriving but the doctor made us put him on a little bit of formula because I wasn't able to give him enough to eat after being in the ER for hours and it messed everything up. After four or five weeks of this back and forth stuff he had finally gained enough weight that they gave us a break and said they needed to see him for his two month appointment. We scheduled that for the day before Christmas eve since his doctor will be working at the hospital on his two month mark.
Every Saturday in December we have been running our friend's shop/bazaar and she was kind enough to let us in free because of it. I didn't make a lot of money off of it but I made a little. I also spent one of the Saturdays teaching a beading class, something I was always hesitant to do. The two ladies and the three girls really seemed to enjoy making a personalized bracelet that they got to take home with them at the end.
A little over a week ago we went over to my parents house for their ward Christmas party. It was fun to see everyone there and spend some time with my family.
The next Tuesday we went back over for my brother's band concert. We ended up not being able to go the year before. They sounded great...especially for only being 7th graders. We left after his group was finished and went shopping for diapers... We had almost ran out of the newborns and decided to get him ones since he seemed to be leaking and blowing out of every other diaper and I was getting sick of cleaning up after him.
This last Friday we spent a few hours at a bazaar that was at my mother in laws work. I sold a necklace to a sweet lady who came back multiple times to look before she made her decision.
While at the bazaar one of the members of our bishop ric called and asked if I could come in on Sunday morning and meet with him before church. I was praying so hard that they wouldn't release me from my cubscout calling but they did. I was almost in tears; I have grown to love those boys so much that letting go of that calling is really hard for me. Apparently the Lord thinks I've learned what I needed to learn there and I was asked to serve in another calling. I have always been taught that "when the Lord calls the Lord qualifies" but I don't feel I can give 100% to this calling. I have never felt this way about a calling before and it's going to take some praying...okay a lot of praying before I feel close to comfortable saying yes. I know if I am to take it things will work out for the best.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
love the christmas card...you did a great job
