It's been a crazy last few days! This last weekend Jake was called into work at the hospital a TON. It was nice have him get some extra hours but we really were missing him. On Saturday he got called in the middle of the night. He got home around 3am and shortly after falling asleep we heard a really loud noise in the living room. I thought someone had broken into our house because it sounded like there was a fight going on with the dog. Jake ran out to see what had happened and Sequoia was laying on her side and running into everything. We got her to our room and tried to settle her down. It seemed like she was having a stroke because one side of her body was really stiff and she was shaking and making moaning sounds. Her eyes were dilated and she looked in pain. I was so scared she was going to die right there in my arms and started bawling. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to be there to comfort her but I didn't want her to die and have to watch it. Jake went out into the kitchen to look for some medicine for her and I started singing to her. I also was praying a ton and asking God to not take her. I know this might seem silly to some of you but Sequoia is one of our kids. She was there through so many of the lonely times with infertility and always made us feel so loved. After praying and starting to sing she finally calmed down and seemed to be getting better. We later found out that she had a seizure. Luckily she hasn't had anymore and I hope to never have to witness another one. After our crazy weekend we got back into normal routine and then I got hit with stomach flu. Yuck! It was miserable. I guess the best part of having it though was that it made me actually take a break and today I have just been playing with my little kiddos. I love these guys so much and feel blessed to have them.

Beautiful nails! She did a great job. I can't believe how big that baby is! Love you.
Wow she did do a good job on the nails! I am glad Sequoia has been doing better. That just sounds so awful!
Wow! Three years already?
Sorry to hear about your doggie... I totally understand that pets are part of the family. That must have been so scary! I hope she doesn't have another seizure, I bet she was scared, too. :(
Your kids are so cute! I hope Sequoia feels better. That is scary!
