christmas to come
I'm still in the process of trying to find my floors after the hectic weekend. They are covered in toys, plastic twist ties that keep turning up, and laundry that I'm soooo far behind on. Then, to make the clean up even more of a challenge, Ava woke up VERY early with a fever. So today was filled with cuddling my fireball girl and coming up with creative ways to get her to drink. Then to top it off, the pukes started this evening. Oh, the lovely pleasures of being a mom. Oh well, I wouldn't trade it for the world. Once I get the house into somewhat of an order and wash even more dirty laundry now, I will upload some christmas pictures. I hope everyone had a great holiday!

What's been happening
I have been so lazy and lacking energy lately. I didn't even send out Christmas cards this year. Anyway, this year has been a lot of fun celebrating Christmas with Ava. She's just at that right age. She loved decorating her gingerbread house.
Last week, Ava was in her first Christmas program. She was the North Star. She was pretty upset because she wanted to be a horse. The program was sort of a modern day story of baby Jesus. I tried to explain to her that she was THE north star. All I got was, "fine, I'll be the star, but I'm still angry about not being a horse." I'll take what I can get. :)
Don't mind the man's head in the picture. She had a lot of fun in the program, and can you believe she actually had some shy moments!

Just an update
I can't believe I haven't posted in over a month. Nothing really has been going on in the Mcgraw household. We celebrated Thanksgiving the day before because I had to work. My family did some black friday shopping. It's turning into quite the tradition :). I have most of my Christmas shopping done, yay!!! I just need to dedicate a day to wrapping, which I hate to wrap.
Ava has been doing well, no breathing issues lately (thank God). I still have my down in the dumps days, but what else is new :). We struggle with the same challenges that many families are all over the country especially this time of year. I try to be thankful everyday, because our situation could be soooo much worse. I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays with their families and loved ones!

About Me
- Bethany
- I am a busy working mom and wife. At work, I spend my day caring for critically ill children. I am a mother of three. My first daughter, Ava, is one of God's greatest gifts to me. My second daughter, Gracie, was born sleeping at 16 weeks. I think about her everyday, and will see her again someday. Our third daughter, Emi, is our little miracle who had to beet the odds. I just stare at her in amazement everyday. At home, I spend my day chasing after my forever energized toddler and trying to keep our house "somewhat" in order.
