The Arnold Family: So much to say, so little words!

It's been over a week since my last post! That's mostly because I just have been weighed down with so much going on. You name it, we've dealt with it. BUT, we're all learning to come together as a family and stick together.

My first big family news is Brittany is pregnant. We found out in the Emergency room last week. I had Court at the Dr.s office with her broke foot when Britt called in tears saying she thought she had appendicitis. After fast driving, tests, adamant denial and more tests in the ER, we saw an ultrasound of the baby! She's 8 weeks along and I can't think of words to describe how each of us felt.. I will say that Mike took it the best out of all of us.

After every emotion you can think of, good and bad, at the end of the day (week) we have to remember we can't change anything, and as a family, we have to be there for each other, no matter how WE feel and the seemingly weakest among us could possibly be the strongest in ways we can't be. When we talk to and tell our kids 10 times a day that we love them no matter what, we have to walk the walk.

Second big family news, is Ashley's ship left out again for a few months, sniff sniff. She was actually very excited to go, especially to see sunshine again! Weather in the Pacific Northeast is dreary and she was SOOOOOOOO looking forward to some sunshine! She was in great spirits the last I talked to her!!!

Thirdly, mine and Dad's recital was yesterday and as last time, we drug Courtney up on the stage to sing so we could hide behind her vocals and play vewwwy quietly! HA

Mom took this picture, which explains the size of it...

Dad should be adding more photos on here today, so I'll post a couple more when he does.

yesterday was also the "Great Battle of Canebrake" Revolutionary War Memorial, which we participated in, once again. AND, as usual, it was FREAKING FREEZING.
