This last week was hard. Pouting returned with a vengeance and Mommy wasn't very patient. We made 3 trips to the doctor (strep throat, wheezing, and tummy aches) and all recovered. We got hair braided (3 1/2 hours later, a very happy girl, and the sweetest friends anyone could ask for... she did it for FREE!!). But all of this paled over the weekend with our good news...

The biggest news of the week occurred on Saturday night. I escaped the house about 5pm to take Callie to a birthday party at some friend's house. Noone else was with me... So, that meant I left Mark home with the other four, one of which was difficult for him to care for. At my friends house, we jokingly said to her husband that we should go out for a girls' dinner. He said YES!! Mark said YES!! So, we went. Our amazing husbands took care of the bday party and our 4 other children. I felt so free. And then the best text I've ever received, "The daddy, Zoe stalemate is over". I was so happy I started crying. He then sent the sweetest picture. It was as if she switched the daddy switch. SHE LOVES HIM!! She runs after him saying, "Daddy, Daddy!" She asks for him when he's at work! This mommy and daddy couldn't be happier. Sunday was my birthday and I couldn't have received a better gift. Mark joked that he and Zoe had an agreement to wait until my birthday. :) God answers prayers. Again a reminder of our verse, "The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." This transition was nothing to do with us. All God. He is so good. Thank you so much to all of you who were praying. Another example of answered prayer!
So, here are the happiest pictures!
