FUN, RELAXING DAY!

Getting some R & R~
That is exactly what mom did today! We all had fun waking up this morning and going straight to mom's big King size bed!!! All the girls got in bed with her as we let Claire watch "Strawberry Shortcake"! How fun! Brooke and I got mom all ready for the day and even fixed her hair! She felt soooo good afterwards! We all ate breakfast from McDonalds and drank McCafe coffee's! Yum... Mom's favorite coffee! Decaf of course. Brooke and I got on a major cleaning kick after we ate. Mom rested in the living room while the guys watched sports-of course. :) Brooke and I got ready for the day and headed to Walmart to get some groceries, etc.

Let's just say Walmart has issues with their card swipers - It did not like us at all! It took us 4 times to finally pay! See, dad had given us some cash so we used that and then we used a gift card (which worked fine) and then we had a remainder of $10.28 so I was just going to pay for that with my check card (didn't work), credit card (didn't work), Brooke's check card (didn't work), OMG - finally I wrote a check! Whew.....If that didn't work we were fixing to just yell "does anybody in the store have $11 we can borrow!" hahahaha! It was so aggravating but funny!

We got home and had the boys unload the groceries and we all put them away. The other Forrester crew came by to visit while we were at Walmart. We just missed Ross and Hannah but got to visit with Uncle Donnie and Aunt Ramona! We love you all!

Mom took a couple of naps today while we were cleaning and at Walmart. She is doing so well though getting around and talking. Praise God! She can read cards, newspaper, etc. almost perfectly! We have had such a relaxing day getting to spend with her and dad. It's nice to get to hold her and hug and kiss her. It feels so good to have your mom hold onto you. Oh, how we've missed her!

Claire has kept us entertained all day playing with her new singing/dancing dog that MiMi and Poppy had for her! She has also been playing with her miniature golf set Aunt Ramona got her! She's the future "Little Miss Tiger"! We hope! :) Brooke and I will be cooking some dinners tonight for mom and dad to have during the week. We are going to make several so they can freeze them and warm them up when they want!

Thank you to everyone for all the cards, phone calls, and gifts! Our community is so incredibly supportive and we can't thank you enough! Every one's faith, prayer, love, and support continues to give all of us strength! God bless you!

I am going to add a link: This is from Ryan's "Aunt" Lana from Palestine, TX. She wanted to share this and said, "It is a beautiful testimony to the love that the Lord has for us."
