Apparently Mothers do know all..

M. on her swing that her Daddy put up for her and A. She loves being outside on it with her puppies! This was taken the night of her Uncle Buddies birthday party. M is doing great. She is an active little girl who loved Dora and is looking forward to her 3rd birthday party.

Well I had to take A back to the Dr that Wednesday and of course she had an Upper Respiratory Infection... So she did need anti's.. See I knew it... Poor little punkin has been struggling to get well. But she just now is doing much better. About to finish her Amox so that is great. She has gotten her appetite back so that is good and is in such a good mood today.

Yippee, because yesterday she wasn't in a good mood at all. Mommy was getting a little frustrated with her girls. But then today I read about families that have recently lost there precious babies to Trisomy 18. It is a terminal illness and always kills the little babies. So needless to say, everything got put in perspective once I read about what those dear families are going through. We are definitely keeping them in our thoughts and prayers. www.trisomy18.org is a website you can read.

Please keep all military families who are without there loved ones in your thoughts and prayers this holiday season. And we wanted to tell each of you that read we hope you have a safe and happy Merry Christmas. I will probably not post until after the new year has begun.

What does a mother know?

Well we went the doctor yesterday and found out that A doesn't have an ear infection but just maybe a good ole fashion flu virus... But M who was just going to get checked out needed antibiotics... Oh well guess there is that .01% chance moms can be wrong.... :)
Other than that, A's tooth has broken the surface and is coming on strong....

Well that's all to post as of now.. will try to set a couple pics up of our day.

Avery sick

Well we are heading to the doctors office in a little while. I think Avery has an ear infection. She has been fighting getting sick and I think it just got the best of her. She is acting fine however is very congested and has since started coughing.
Good news about Eric. We have found a church home here in the Fort Worth area and Eric has applied or rather emailed the worship team leader about him joining the team and being there drummer, and they called today. I can not wait to hear what Eric and Matt (WL) had to say.
God is truly amazing. I'm so thankful as I feel that this is Eric's calling.

Will post later to let you all know how miss Avery Grace is doing.

Our little girls....

Here are Melody and Avery getting ready for Santa to come and visit.

We are all counting down the days for him to come and eat some cookies we are going to make for Santa.

Merry Christmas to all..

Something new and exciting.

Well, I just got this idea from reading my sister in laws blog to start our very own Bratcher family blog spot. Not even sure if this is correct lingo for "blogging" but oh well. If anyone knows me they know that I make up words and expect others to follow:).
I thought this would be a good way of letting friends and family keep in touch with our kids development and achievements since we don't live near our family.
Hope everyone is looking forward to the holiday season. We all have so many blessings to be thankful for.
My family especially is thankful that my grandma is recovering remarkably well for having quadruple by-pass surgery the week of Thanksgiving. Many thanks from the Lord above. Also, we are thankful that we have found a church near by for our family. It has been the missing link for us away from our old church.
