Since last Sunday.....

Wade fell and bit his tongue, which resulted in yet another Lumpkin ER visit. He was as happy as can be, blowing raspberries and carrying on, but bleeding like a stuck pig. After a failed conscious sedation attempt, he was strapped to a papoose board for ten minutes while they sewed up his tongue. It was a horrible, helpless experience, but ten minutes after, Wade was back to his smiley self. The doctor was amazed that he nursed immediately after his painful procedure. Luke proudly responded, "It takes a lot to keep a Lumpkin from eating!"


We were so blessed to spend Thanksgiving with much family. My brother-in-law and nephew stayed with us for a few days. We enjoyed our visit, but missed my sister! And Grace met and instantly adored her cousin Ryan and Uncle Robert.


Grace loves her Aunt Jenny and Uncle Rowdy. They are always full of energy and play with her for hours on end!

Wade is constantly clapping and started waving on Friday!

Thank you Papa Mark and Grandma Brenda for giving us a delicious meal and the luxury suite!!

After Papa Mark's and Grandma Brenda's we traveled on to Papa Ronnie's and Granny Dawn's. We had a great time, but the pink eye gave Grace a visit!

My camera battery died, but we ventured on to Papa Curtis' and Tita's house for another wonderful meal. However, before lunch my dear grandma was in a car wreck in which her car was totalled. Praise God everyone was okay, but she may need some physical therapy. We cut our trip short, due to Grace's pink eye, and headed home. Wade did wonderful on the car trip, with minimal crying. We actually arrived at our destinations in a good mood!
On Sunday, Grace decorated the tree. The ornaments are concentrated to one section of the tree, and she is so very proud!




We had an eventful week! I praise God for blessing us with such a large loving family!
