Dad-Daughter Day

I'm so very, very, very thankful for a daddy/daughter day today, it was short and sweet and we had hoped to visit my uncle who is very sick! My Uncle Allen is my dad's brother and they are both having a rough time with cancer.
Our day started rushed as usual, as we were pulling out of the drive to head to school EE said he remembered they were suppose to wear jeans and scarves today, I had to call school because he was so upset. That was mentioned yesterday during announcements but it was for staff. I don't typically put jeans on either of my kiddos unless we are going out, I never liked jeans and I just assume they don't and they just give me the "cold" feeling.
After dropping off the boys, we headed to Mcdees for our usual, but Bre wanted donuts so we stopped by there too. Gotta keep that boy happy, he is all about his food, yes breakfast of champions I know!
We headed to the Dr. after everyone had a full belly, dad actually ate all of his biscuit, I snuck in extra bacon on it, I was so glad to see him eat!
I love to chat with him, he was nervous about his appointment, not knowing what the Oncologist was going to say, and to say I was sweating this apt would be a total understatement.
We got as good of news as we could have, there is one more chemo drug to try before we just start treating his symptoms, that is never a good sign, but everyday dad is here with us and can get out is a precious blessing from above.

I seriously have the best DAD in the world, I know not everyone can say that, we were loved, we were spoiled, we were hugged everyday, multiple times a day. Dad put us first, there were more I LOVE YOU'S then Hallmark has ever heard. My dad is a family man, it was ALWAYS about us, always.

I encourage everyone to spend as much time making memories with your parents, we just never know what they will have to face. I have friends right now that either just lost their dad, or in the process of losing their dad, and my heart just wrenchs in pain for them.

If you don't know your dad or have never met your dad, (or mom) please do so, give them a chance to love you, accept you, and get to know you! If they give you the cold shoulder, then atleast you tried.

My dad is one in a million and I know I won the lottery when I was blessed with him. I wish I could upload pictures, I'm going to have my husband fix this tomorrow, I have several on my computer when I was young that was played in our Wedding Slide Show of me and my dad! His beaming face in every picture explains our family life, happy, fun memories made everyday!

Sorry to brag a lil, I'm super blessed and sometimes we don't realize it until we are older or grown, or have children of our own.

Speaking of children, my dad adores my children, he has taken them fishing and has gone camping with us, and hasn't missed a ballgame if he wasn't sick, he never told me "I will catch the next game" or "no not this time" he has watched them for us, even when his appendix was about to rupture, he watched lil bit while the oldest had surgery, didn't complain once. My boys feel his love, and they love him more then anything, and If they'd let my boys move in, I have no doubt that's where they'd choose to live, always treats, and hugs, and smiles and my dad always turns over the remote to Disney Channel.

On a side note, things are going well on the home front with buying/selling, we are excited to say the least, we are making offers and they are counter offering, and we have our first showing tomorrow for our place, it's all in God's hands. If he wants us to have that beautiful home he will make it happen, if it's not meant for us, he will let us know.

Glad to be a child of God, when we have nothing else we have him. And that's all that matters.

Blessings.

This is the house

So.............I've been neglected the blog! Sorry, we have been extremely busy here at the Womack house!

After 2 years of searching we finally found a house that we both really like, great neighborhood, in our price range, all the amentities we love! Ok well I can't upload the picture for some reason-STRANGE!

So that's what we have been up to, realtor showings, calling contractors to get things ready for our home to be put on the market, and lots of prayers.
The only thing left to do on our current home is paint, so we shall see how far we get with that, neither of us like to do it! ugh!

Poc was back in the hospital, apparently the cancer is causing fluid to build up in his lungs, and he had to have that drained. He is home for now, he sure has been through alot here lately. Lots of prayers for him too!
My mom has the flu, and it sure seems like everyone has the flu, prayers we don't catch it, and Poc doesn't either!

I've been jogging again, just going my own speed/distance, so far it's working, I was able to jog 5 straight mins without stopping the other day, that's huge for me. I know I will get there, then I plan to jog every 5K that is local that I can find!

Wish me luck!

Christmas Blessings

We had a wonderful Christmas at the Womack House! The boys were very happy with what Santa brought! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!

The 1st picture is the boys in our bed trying to stay up and catch Santa! EE's tooth looks weird, not sure what is up with that! He lost his 2nd front big tooth, 2 days before Christmas!

In the 2nd picture the boys are putting out their Reindeer Food-So much fun!

We woke up to find that our Elf, Phillip was sitting on a present by the 2-way radios Santa brought, the wrapping paper in Phillip's hands are from the arrows he had on the floor pointing to the back yard, where Santa left a trampoline!

Nana, Poc, and Toby's stockings, milk and cookies for Santa on the Spiderman table!

Here is a picture with all the cousins, behind them is about 100 presents to open, you can't really tell but the presents come out from the wall about 6 feet or so! It's crazy, and it was even scaled down this year, and still lots of present for all these little lovies! :) Both my boys have on their fireman boots :)

I love the facial expressions on both hubs and EE, all EE wanted for Christmas was Fireman pictures, Fireman clothes and Etc. a true sign he is growing up and not asking for toys. So uncle Ashley just went to New York and Ground Zero, he took pictures, and had them framed along with a fireman patch. EE loved it, so did the Hubs, I'm thinking the Hubs would like one for his office!

I will leave you with this, we didn't get any snow on Christmas day, but a few days later we got 3.5 inches, so we took the boys to sleigh ride, we all had a blast, here is a picture, and I will do a post on it hopefully tomorrow!
