Thankful for what we have!!

So today started off as a pretty good day. Tia Jackie, Ranita, the babies and I went to have a DOC band "tune-up". The clinician said that the Iker and Izel are progressing great. Iker had his band shaved down a little in the front so that it wouldn't cover his eyes so much and Izel had some extra padding added to the back so she can't wiggle out of it (on 2 different occasions she woke up without the band on). After their appt. we went to have breakfast at Bob's big boy. it was ok, except for the part where the waiter spilled ice cold water all over me.
After breakfast Tia Jackie and Ranita dropped us off at home. The babies were EXHAUSTED. They barely ate 4oz before passing out. They both slept for 3 1/2 hours. It was unbelievable. By the time they woke up daddy was home. They were both so excited to see him. However, news from work wasn't so good. It turns out that the company that hired him on Monday doesn't have enough work for the guys they just hired so they had to let some guys go. Considering he was one of the newbies, he was the first to go. After 3 days of work, daddy has been laid off. *Sigh* Sometimes I feel like we just can't get a break, but then I realized that there are families out there that are worse off than us. So to end the update for tonight, I would like to say that we are very grateful for all that we have, and although we might not have everything we want, we most definitely have everything we need.
