Since my last post I have received an abundance of help. I am blessed and so grateful for good people. I am surrounded by the best people. I am in awe at the compassion and the dedication to "easing one another's burdens".
I had a "handy man" come to my rescue and install a new garbage disposal, fix a broken (stinky) toilet and replace a battery in a chirping fire alarm. Before he left he told me to please let him know if there is ever a problem and I am in need of a handy man. I have had neighbors drop by and request laundry to wash and fold while my washing machine was broken. Speaking of the washing machine my Visiting Teacher and friend took it upon herself to take apart (with help from another friend) my washing machine, take the broken part to a repairman and then brought it back that same day and installed the new part. I now have a washing machine that works! With 11 people in our home a working washing machine is pretty big priority. I've had flowers dropped by. We had dinner brought in one night by a wonderful lady who volunteered to babysit my kids so I could attend the Temple, I had to turn her offer to babysit down because of my sick babies. So she brought over dinner without even letting me know, it was a huge blessing since I hadn't started preparing dinner. I've been able to drop kids off at a neighbor's house in a hurry when I had to get the babies lab sample to the hospital within an hour. I am truly blessed and surrounded by generous, kind people. It's overwhelming to think about the service our family has received in the last few years...
WE ARE BLESSED and WE ARE GRATEFUL!
Update on babies is that they both have bronchitis and are on Antibiotics as well as 3-4 breathing treatments a day. I cover them in Vicks and put drops of eucalyptus oil in their vaporizer so my bedroom pretty much smells like a rest home. They are still so sweet and try to smile as much as possible even though they are feeling like poo and still pretty much just want mommy.
I am grateful for our doctor and for medicine! I am in hopes that March will be a month of well babies and Sunshine!

Other News: We just found out yesterday that Chad's job is being eliminated. We are hopeful that he will find something bigger and better really soon. He is not worried, he looks forward to the future. (I wish I had his same optimism, I am worried) but the Lord provides and has never left us alone. We are blessed and will continue to be blessed I know it! This is just another "learning experience" that I am excited to see how it ends. Never a dull moment at our house. I just pray that we can learn whatever the Lord is trying to teach us very quickly!!!
LIFE IS GOOD!
