Little Miracles - Day 4

This was such a beautiful miracle for our family! Here are just a few of the kids involved.

The best way to show you is with this video made by Little Miracles.


Such amazing and Christ-like people.

Little Miracles - Day 3

Bossy said it looked like I was missing a day of Little Miracles, but if you are a follower, you know that I simply tacked it on to my last day in Reno.

And I know how interested you are in seeing the final results, but I am going to drag this out just a little bit longer...

We checked out of the AirB&B on Saturday morning and we all drove our separate cars to the Lake Break Restaurant in Daybreak. One of the ladies on the Little Miracles board owns this fun and delicious eatery. They let us invite other family members, so we had Sport, Bossy and Gamer and their 5 boys as well as our cute little Bright Eyes (yeah, she ate, just like everybody else...). Curly had his cute girl with us as well. It was quite a crew!

Little Miracles made a video and they also took lots of pics. We were just given access to some of them, but these are mostly the ones Tiani from Little Miracles took, not the photographer. 





Then they sent a car for us...


This is only the beginning of what awaited us when we finally got home.

Little Miracles - Day Two

It has been really difficult to stay off our street while some amazing people create a "Little Miracle" at our house.

We have had some fun here. We played games and did dinner at the firepit.

Traveling as Two - Home at Last

Things went pretty smoothly. We checked out of our hotel and took an Uber to the airport. 


Unfortunately, we weren't sitting by each other, but the flight was fine until we were circling Salt Lake. My stomach was not happy. That is the worst I have felt on an airplane in a very long time.

But back to my real life. I don't think I told you about Little Miracles. They are an amazing service group that works really hard to help people who have lost a spouse. When they first approached me, they made it sound like some weeding and a bit of cleaning. Somewhere along the line. It became SO much more!!

They are doing a mini-flip of my house. Seriously, we are at an AirB&B while they have full run of my house until Saturday afternoon. Then I will share lots of amazing pics, but for now, you get to see where we are staying.

We really enjoyed the hot tub.


This is the bed Scout and I are sharing.


All the other kids are staying in the loft. 


The room is only about 4 1/2 feet high, so that is a little rough for my tall guys. They offered to find us a different place, but we are enjoying the adventure. This is how they get up to their room.


But this light is really cool.


And this is the most amazing bathroom I have ever used.


So much excitement!
