The last 2 weeks have been great! The first week we were home my mom came to visit and help me out with the kids. I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed my time with her :) Rick's parents came for a visit as well and we always enjoy their company!
Hannah is 11 weeks old and has finally reached the 9lbs mark. We are excited for this. She is growing and getting stronger every day. She spends a lot of time sleeping but in her awake time she coos at us, smiles, and giggles. The vision teacher stopped by to evaluate her and she was impressed with Hannah. She said that it seems Hannah is using her vision. Coloboma is a gap in the eye... it is our job to help Hannah focus and learn to look around the gap in her vision. She is doing so good! She will get her baha in December and this will allow her to hear out of her left ear and better localize sounds. She had her cardio check up on Monday and the doctor is satisfied with her progress. Hannah has some underlying problems and we will know more about those in January when she goes in for another heart cath. Dr. Swanson is going to let Hannah out grow her meds and we will see how she does after that.
Caleb is doing great and is such a sweet boy! He loves his sister and loves helping mommy and daddy. He is growing so much and no longer looks like a toddler but a boy. When did this happen? I must have blinked.
Ricky is great! He is back to work and enjoying that. He is such an amazing man. He is always willing to help me and never complains. he loves the kids and Hannah does indeed have him wrapped around her finger. When he comes home the first thing he does is play with Caleb and give both kids loves! He always asks me if there is anything I need and that if I want to go out and have alone time that I should go and he will take care of the kids. He truly is an example of selflessness. We just celebrated 4 years of marriage last weekend. I am so grateful for Ricky and look forward to an eternity with him!
I am doing good. I have a cold right now but other than that I can't complain. Life is good. I am a blessed woman. I am thankful for so many things but the first thing a am thankful for is a loving Heavenly Father who loves me and knows of my individual needs. He uplifts me in my times of need and all the blessings I have are because of Him. I have a different perspective on the atonement of Christ and I am grateful for His sacrifice so that we some day could all return to live with our Father in Heaven and return to a perfect state of being, bodies and all.
I am grateful for the nursing care we receive in the home so that I can get my errands done and spend time with Caleb. I am grateful for family and friends and that they have done for our family. The last thing I will share is that I am ever so grateful to be a mother. I love being a mom and know that this is the one of the best blessings I could ever have in my life time. It is a divine gift from Heavenly Father. They have already taught me so much probably more than I will ever teach them. I learn something everyday from being a mother!
Happy Thanksgiving :)
Love,
Sam
Caleb for some reason unknown to us likes to sleep in the crib form time to time.

The pictures are darling, and I love your hair! I am so glad that Hannah is home and that your family is doing well. Happy holidays!
Your hair is so cute! I have to do something with mine, it's driving me crazy! Sounds like things have calmed down a bit for you. You have a darling little family and I am glad you are able to spend your holidays together. We love you all!
Such a beautiful post! I am so inspired by you and your attitude. Hannah is blessed to have such a wonderful family... and that blessing is obviously one she gives back. I understand what you mean about Caleb being a little boy. When did that happen?!?! Jacoby seems so grown up now! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
