I Did It!


I had one goal for this week, and that was to see Hannah play basketball. This is her second season playing and I have yet to feel well enough to go to a game. Yesterday I was determined, no matter how lousy I may feel, that I was going to go to the game, and I DID! I may feel like I was hit by a bus today, but boy was it great to see my little girl play. She even made a basket!


Hannah seemed very excited to see me there. She didn't know I was coming, having gone home after school with a friend for a sleepover party, so it was a big surprise.


So, Hannah had Scott, me, and a cheering squad of girlfriends to support her at the game.


This morning when Hannah got home from her sleepover, she brought me a special surprise. The girls had made pillowcases and all four decorated a special case for me. I was so touched and thrilled to receive such a special gift.


So, today is a day to rest. The fire is burning in the fireplace and there is a beautiful snow cover outside. It is the perfect day to hang out in PJs and drink hot cocoa. Scott will be hitting the slopes for his first snowboarding adventure of the winter, it is hard to believe there is enough snow to ski, my how time flies by.
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Love, Nancy

Yeah Nancy!

You never cease to amaze me! I am so glad you achieved your goal of the week. I know it meant the world to Hannah!

The pillow case is AWESOME and oh so special. How sweet of the girls to make that one for you. What a nice thing for you to take to Pittsburgh. Hannah is growing up into such a fine, young lady.

Get some rest, enjoy your hot cocoa and know that love and prayers are surrounding you!

We love you!

Debbie, Jack, Blake, and Britney

WOOHOO!! AWESOME! One day at a time, one goal at a time. You're amazing. Whenever I have a big outing, I plan for the next day to be a "jammie day" - guilt free! You're a great mom, Nancy. And Hannah is a DARLING girl! Congratulations on making a basket, Hannah! Love the pillowcase, too!
