This is how we enjoy snow in Southern California

Ok....I know, I know....it's crazy, but this is how we play in the snow in our town. How do you guys do it?? LOL. Actually, it was kind of ideal. Walk a block or so, play in the snow but don't get too cold, and then walk home. I know you are all jealous! hee-hee

Things a child says....

Hi All! Our health is finally returning to us and we are beginning our normal routines around here. This is just a short little post, but I had to share two things Ty said today that just gave me an extra reason to smile.
We decided to go for walk at a time where it was sunny, but a few rain clouds were hanging around. About 3/4 of the way it started sprinkling, then raining, then hailing! I was running and pushing the stroller, Ty was riding on his bike as fast as he could, poor Jason had to walk so he didn't pull his stitches open. Poor guy. We were drenched. When we got in the garage Ty peered up at me with this questionable face, "Mama, why is their ice falling on me?". That started a fun little discussion.
Jason and I have really been trying to implement more fresh foods into all of our diets. So, I bought celery the other day. Well, at lunch today I gave Ty some with Peanut Butter in it. He loved it, to my surprise. Well, as I tucked him in tonight I began our nightly prayer. He quickly interrupted me to say, "Mama, what was that green stuff we ate today? Celery Ty. Oh ya, God thanks for the celry (that's how he says it) and peanut butter today". Oh how I wish I could remember to thank God for the simple things in life too.

Can I laugh yet??

Well.....the drama of the Bunn's just continues. My title of this post is, "Can I laugh yet??". So true to my thinking. A lot of you already know, but Jason was admitted into Henry Mayo last night and proceeded to have an emergency appendectomy at midnight. The surgery went as planned and they were able to take care of it laproscopically. So much better than making an incision. He is in a little pain and very frustrated at the noise and interruptions of the staff, but thankfully is healing. He should be released tomorrow. We're very excited to have him come home, but hope that he can rest here too!

If the timing could be good, I guess it was. We had a wonderful vacation in the O.C. and ended it with a bang at Ty & Shelby's Birthday party. We loved seeing so many of you and were so thankful for the gorgeous day the Lord gave us.

This year has brought many opportunities for us to appreciate those who love us and can't believe Gods timing in having my parents move here. I told them yesterday that they either jinxed us or God truly had a plan for us these past few months. I would like to, once again, thank them for helping us through our health battles. As well as some great friends, you know who you are.

I once again am reminded of my favorite verse, Phil 4:6, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." I cannot fathom not having this peace that God provides. I truly feel that He has taken all my worries and I've really been able to focus on the kids and the week ahead with Jason healing. No worries, God is always in control.
