I am missing my real bed tonight! We ordered a mattress and frame, but this old lady loves her adjustable, squishy bed at home. I am thankful that we have a 3 day weekend together, as a family. We arrived 5 days ago, and 4 of those days seemed an eternity long. Scott has been working long hours, and being in a new place with 2 kids and no furniture was stressful. By next Friday, all of our furniture should be here. Woohoo! I have learned to appreciate so many things that we all take for granted in this life. So many go without basic necessities, and I am miserable with camp chairs in my living room. So, tonight, I praise my heavenly Father for these luxuries. And, I pray to Him for those who have nothing, who hurt, who are hungry, who are cold, who have no family. Lord, please comfort them and take care of them each minute of every day. 

We did get out if the apartment a bit. The kids needed haircuts, and a nice lady named Sue did a good job. Samuel did pretty well. We went to the pet store, too. Samuel loves, loves aquariums. I think Santa might know what to bring him for Christmas. Maggie had an awful headache most of the day, but once she was feeling better, she got to swim. The water had to be 50°. She loved every minute of it, though. I couldn’t make myself jump in! We also drove by Samuel’s new therapy center and Maggie’s Tuesday class location, so I could get a lay of the land.

Pics. (Maggie gets tired of me snapping her picture all the time!)
