Thrush...the beast that wouldn't die!
During our trip to IN/IL, we discovered that Abby and I had thrush. A couple days of gentian violet later, a call was made to Abby's pediatrition as to what to do. Nystatin was prescribed and she's been on it since. I also was prescribed Nystatin a few days later. After some changes to my diet and some other precautions - we are finally getting a hold on it. I'm taking Abby in for an appointment on Wednesday to make sure that it is ALL gone and that I'm free and clear as well. We'll see what happens. The question I'm asking myself is what is God trying to teach me with this trial. Patience? Endurance? Dependence on Him? I'm sure I'll figure it out in no time. Perhaps I'll be able to encourage another mom going through the same ordeal.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles,
so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves
have received from God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

The Beginning and End
I have a joyus heart today. Not a "happy, happy, joy, joy" heart but the joy that can be described as a deep peace. This peace can only be given by God. The reason for this state of my heart is because dear Jackie Bacon passed away last night. She's with God now and I am so thankful for this. She personally knew Jesus, was blessed in this relationship and know she's in His everlasting presence. Halleluia!
Tears have already flowed and I know that they will again. She had a way about her that made you feel as though you had been part of her family for a long, long time. I'll never forget the day we went to Vegas to meet her and Marc and to show off our son (her great grandson, Luke). We went to get lunch together. During that time we ran into one of the managers of the casino. She introduced us as her "grandson, Michael; grandaughter, Tanna and their son, Luke." I kinda laughed and said "Well, I'm married to Mike, I'm really not her grandaughter." She corrected me saying that I should never say that again. That I was thought of as being the same as all her other grandchildren. That really blessed my heart. As well as my last phone conversation with her. She told me how happy she was that Mike married me, that he couldn't have found a better wife. That coming from her was one of the hugest compliments I could ever have received.
I'm holding my little girl, Abby, as I type this. Life goes by so quickly. Enjoy your family, love one another. Get to know God so that when it is time to go meet Him, you're just going to see an old friend in person. God bless, Tanna

Dressing Up Joys
We had a big fun weekend! It started off Friday night when all four of us went to Lancaster to attend a going away party for one of Mike's co-workers. Luke had a blast playing with two other girls close to his age and well, Abby just slept through all of it!
Then on Saturday we spent the day cooking and cleaning because we had a game night with a couple other families at our house. Again, Luke had a blast running around with the "big" boys. I told them to bring some games for the children and our living room looked like a big toy bomb had exploded. Good kids that they all were, they had everything cleaned up and ready to go home when that time came.
And, of course, Sunday was Halloween. We're not big into trick-or-treating but I do think it is fun to get dressed up. Luke was a giraffe and Abby was a pea pod. Luke was a pea pod his first Halloween so I've posted a picture of him in 2002. It's fun to compare what they look like! Let me know what you all think. God bless, Tanna
