Dear Annagrace,
It has been such a great week so far! It was nice to have a morning at home and get some things done around the house before leaving for your cardiology appointment. I'm so glad Grandma was able to go with us to your appointment. We got great news when we found out that the hole in your heart is not causing any problems and no surgery is needed right now to close it. In fact, you may never need surgery to close the hole as long as your heart continues to be healthy. This was great news! To celebrate Grandma took us to Cracker Barell for lunch and boy was it yummy. I was not surprised when you ordered mac and cheese, your all time favorite dish. When we got home, we went to check on the chickens and that is when we found that Bella was really sick. I blogged about that yesterday, you can read that here. I was so proud of how you were so attentive to Bella and comforted her. We knew she wouldn't live long and you helped make her feel safe and comfortable. You were so brave and so helpful as we tended to her. I'm so sorry we had to say goodbye to Bella but at least we know she is no longer suffering. It wasn't the way we planned our afternoon to go but we made a good team caring for her. After we got Bella buried in the backyard with the help of our great neighbors, you and I settled in to watch High School Musical 3. It's official, we watched all three movies! I really enjoyed watching them with you! We were both pretty tired after such an emotional day so I surprised you by letting you fall asleep in my bed and sleeping with me all night. I think I only got kicked like a dozen times, so not bad. I enjoyed waking up to your cuddles this morning. So that brings us to today, Thursday, the day that daddy and brothers get home! Since we have been so busy playing all week it was time to buckle down and get the house back in order. I know I have told you this before but I can always count on you to lend me a helping hand. As I dusted, you grabbed the windex and cleaned some windows for me. You also took the recycling out and got the floors ready for me to vacuum. You are amazing! After a morning spent cleaning we treated ourselves to Taco Bell because you say "they make the best burritos in town!" We had our traditional picnic on the living room floor and watched an episode of Pink Panther while enjoying our yummy burritos. We are just a few short hours away from picking up the rest of the family, it will be so nice to be together as a family again. Annagrace, I will always treasure the week I had with you. You are an amazing daughter and I love you more than words can say!
Love,
Mommy
