"It okay Mommy, God with you. He in your heart."

If you are looking for our Christmas message, it got moved down the list (see below). Not long after posting it, Aimee developed appendicitis and had to have surgery. It all went well [update: so it didn't go so well and Aimee ended up back in the hospital -- three times -- for another surgery and procedure because of complications], but the real point of this post is to share the following. Upon returning home from the hospital the first time, Aimee said to Andy, "Andy, I was kind of lonely while I was in the hospital--I missed everyone," to which Andy responded, "It okay Mommy, God with you. God take care of you. He in your heart."

These words were especially poignant as this family spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning apart from one another--Aimee and Marshall in the hospital, Andy with Nana and Aaa, and Liam with Aunt Jill and Uncle Darrin. Aimee came home on Christmas day and we celebrated Jesus's birthday on the 26th.
