Seriously the craziest weekend ever.

So this weekend was supposed to be fun. We were going to put up our tree. (I know, to some that is a little early, but I think it makes Thanksgiving all the more beautiful and special.)  Anyway, so I spent Friday finishing up all current jewelry orders. (We like to have them ship out about two business days after the order, so I stay fairly busy.) well I went to bed at 2:30 am Friday-technically Saturday. When we woke Saturday my little girl let the kale-monster out of his bed and he went downstairs. Everything in our house is child proof so I figured I could lay there for a couple minutes. Well I heard him throw something and ran to see what it was. He had thrown a bottle of 500mg tylenols and broke the cap in half. The pills went everywhere.  He knew he was in trouble so the little stinker grabbed a few and shoved them in his mouth.  So we spend the day in the hospital with him drinking charcoal and having testing done.

So then my handsome Mr. Lunnen came and stayed at the hospital with the baby monster (the monster we are completely obsessed with of course) and I took my little beauties to their Christmas recitals.  I have a hard time watching the recitals because I pretty much cry the whole time.  I am seriously overwhelmed with emotion when  I watch my children do just about anything.  I think I mentioned this before, but I still get a little teary when I take them to school.  I am such a crazy!  But seriously look at those faces!  What is not to LOVE?!

So, sappy mom here put a link to the recitals if you would like the pleasure of witnessing these little angels in action.

Charli had nutcracker practice in the midst of all of this, and then we had a birthday party to go to.  Good news is that the babies alive, and bad news is that child proof lids on medicine can be broken if thrown...by a child.  Hmmmm.  I seriously could not survive without this little family of mine.  Im obsessed. 

So Update on Dayne, Today he finally checked into the Kennedy Kreiger Institute for his strict therapy regimen.  Today was kind of an orientation day where the give him the rules "Lay down the law" is how he put it, and he has decided that he already wants to go home.  But he is so tough I know that he can get through it.  It is just a matter of getting used to a new routine.  And hopefully once he starts to see some progress and gain some independence his tune will change.

An for an update on Ed, he sounded more positive when I talked to him today.  He said that he had the insurance drama just about completed and was meeting with his doctors again.  I swear I posted this before but I guess that I didn't.  He had to have a couple root canals. Ouch! They were also waiting for all the infection and swelling to clear up in his body before he could start any chemotherapy.  Who knew that even your teeth needed to be in good shape to start Chemo!?  Strange.  I have been begging Ed to send me a picture for you guys, but he just won't do it.  So I stole this off one of his friends facebook pages.  I think they had a quick surprise get together. I have completely enjoyed being a part of the fundraising for Ed because I have been in contact with a lot of neat people that know him well, and have told me so many great things.  I have loved reading all the comments that people leave for him.  #ibelieve

I am told by my mother in law that Ed has lost nearly 30 pounds while he has been so sick.  That he has been having lots of headaches.   However when I did do a little texting with him today he said that he wanted all the names of everyone that donated, or bought necklaces or keychains so that he can thank everyone individually.  

And last but not least I am super excited because I am currently designing some Hand stamped earrings. 

Looks like we have gained viewers from a couple other countries.  This just thrills me! So whomever you are in the Philippines and Iceland...Welcome and thanks for stopping by to read our stories!

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your support!
