It constantly amazes me how you can live so far from your home and still find people who remind you of home. Dana and Jay are always cooking for us and making us feel like we belong.
Baby Rhea is a special little miracle herself. She was born with OI, lots of people know it as fragile bone disease.She has had over 50ish broken bones in her little life, but you would never know she is in pain because she practically glows with happiness and love. The OI community says that these little kids may have fragile bones but they have unbreakable spirits!
Last month Baby Rhea flew to Omaha so a specialist could put telescoping metal rods in her legs for strength and straightening. Check out the before and after X-rays. They make me cry every time I see them.
Anyway, my kids pray for the Baby Rhea every night. I tell Ella one reason its important to do her school work is because in order for people to find cures and solutions for people like Baby Rhea, you have to learn how to read and think and be inventive.
Anyway we are so thankful for the Busbys and all of the awesome people in demopolis. They have been nothing but gracious to us and we love them.
Anyway, this month has been busy. We had a traditional thanksgiving feast for Kyle's office (mexican fiesta and cheesecake) and tomorrow we are hosting T-day for all the demopolis strays, so needless to say I better stop typing and start cooking.
A few other randoms from the kids:
-"Mom, I think Dash and Baby Rhea are falling in love." --Ella
-"Mom, all I want for Christmas is my own room with a sign that says NO TWO-YEAR-OLDS ALLOWED." --Ella
-"I want some boobs like that." --Kate
-"I'm not spilling water, I'm making rain drops." --Kate
-"I want a new mommy. You can be my sister. I want my new mommy to be Grandma Anne. Grandpa Dug can be the Joker."
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We are grateful for you!

Awwwwh! I hadn't seen this. You are so sweet!! You actually made me cry! We love y'all and know that if you belong nowhere else, you definitely belong in our lives!
You made me cry too! You are such a great person and I am inspired all the time by your love and generosity. I'm in awe at your ability to see people differently than they are seen by others. I miss you Brittney!
