Its been a busy 2 weeks.

I am so sorry that it has taken so long for me to write. I cannot believe how busy the past two weeks have been. I know everyone can say they are "busy" but I am serious, I have no clue where my time has gone...Well, maybe I can give you a brief run-down...

Monday (4/28) - went to Eisley's 6 mth check-up, and she weighed in at 12 pounds 10 ounces!!! And, she made the weight chart, finally! She is officially in the 3 percent. We wanted to throw a party for her.
Tues (4/29) - The ECI nutritionist came out to do her evalutation. Other than simply giving us some helpful hints are what foods are the highest in calories for Eisley to eat (like squash and sweet potatoes), she told us that Eisley looked wonderful to her and she saw no problems. YEA!!!
Thurs (5/1) - The ECI physical therapist came out for her evaluation and also said Eisley looks great to her, and saw no need for any intervention. She kinda laughed even while wondering why she was even referred! It felt so great to hear that!
Fri-Sun (5/2-4) - Jody and I went on our church's marriage retreat and had an amazing, restful time together. What a refreshment it is to spend undivided time with my husband. I am so in love with him! Jody's parents kept the girls, so Jody and I went to Childress to get them Sunday and stayed the night. His parents cooked out for my birthday celebration (its tomorrow, actually) They are amazing, and treat as if I was truly their biological daughter. I am so blessed. We then drove home Monday.
Monday (5/5) - We were supposed to get our concrete patio poured on this day, but are actually still waiting. The rain has caused a severe hold up. Jody is not happy.

This brings us to today. I had an okay day. I did have a Mother's Day Tea with Mia at Mother's Day Out. It was very special.

So, needless to say, I am pretty worn out. Being a mom is by far one of the hardest jobs I've ever had, BUT, it is also by far the most rewarding. Just some days I have to remind myself of that more. :) I pray you all have an amazing rest of your week, and weekend. Blessings! Here are some pictures of the girls and their weekend with MaMaw and Papa.

Sisters...

Mia "helping" MaMaw with the dishes, I'm sure

I love this picture! Eisly is saying "I love your kisses MaMaw!" I love Eisley's expression with her eyes!

I celebrated my birthday with my brother in law Zach. His brithday was the 6th. Thanks Becky for the Rice Krispie cake! (a Wilson brithday tradition.)

Jody told me to show him how excited I was about my birthday present. That happy!

Happy Birthday Sarah-Pooh!
I was thinking of you this morning because the song, Sarah Smile came on and I thought it was so perfect to eat breakfast to a song about you on your birthday!

I have to say, I am a little hurt. You said you had an 'okay' day yesterday. No mention of the great birthday lunch that you, Jill and I had or your presents. Just okay? :(
