Sickness

About a week before dance competition season started, Isabel got sick. Really sick. When we first took her in to Instacare we were told she had ????, but a week later she still had a very high fever and wasn't getting better. We took her back in for more tests and this time I asked she be tested for flu. Even though it had already been 7 days, I wanted to know. Just to rule it out. Well, it came back positive. She had something that I can't recall on top of flu.

Her fever broke the night before the spring recital. She performed anyway. I remember how skinny she looked. You could tell she lost weight on her small frame and she looked tiny. Too tiny. But, I also remember how I cried. She performed her duo perfectly. I was so scared she didn't have the energy to get through the dance and especially her back walkover. She did it. Shane was also teary-eyed. He couldn't believe how beautiful she had done. She's learned so much this year and I know the extra practices from this duo have made a difference.

Yep, those are heart shaped bacon. That's what you call a Pinterest fail. Or in common hashtag words
#pinterestfail and that's what you'll find on Instagram these days.

 

Shane surprised me with this beautiful box and a sweet watch inside.

Our best gifts right here. My heart can't handle all the love and so my eyes fill with tears of joy from these two. We couldn't be more proud of them. Really such sweet kids.

Starbucks coffee love!
