Getting better...

I'm amazed how often my Dad is the answer to my prayers. Yesterday I prayed for strength and patience (because I knew I was so tired from lack of sleep), and for help to just get through the day. Low and behold, completely out of the blue, my Dad turns up for an impromptu visit. He had the day off school, and thought he'd come see how Elisa was. I can't tell you how glad I was to see him. He played with the kids while I went and had a long shower. I got him to give Elisa a blessing while he was here too. Dad only stayed for an hour or so, but I felt a lot more rejuvenated when he left, and so very grateful that he listened to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Thanks Dad :)

Elisa is improving, and her appetite seems to be returning some. She is devouring the mini bananas I bought the other day, as well as the oranges. Still not super keen on meat and veges, but she did eat a few mouthfuls for dinner today. Brooke is sleeping at the Bells tonight, which she was super excited about. Both girls want to go down to Nanny and Poppas for a few nights too, so once they're all over their sicknesses I'll try to arrange that. I'm mindful that Mum has her hands full helping Janferay with her kids too, so I don't want them to feel pressured to have my kids too if she and Dad want a break in the weekends.

Two of my pages from the last post (Beautiful and Almost 3) made it into the Gallery Standouts Thread at DST. I'm pretty stoked about that. Here are the pages I did today.
