Both girls are down for a late nap. It's been a long day, and it was an even longer night. Poor Grace has had the stomach flu. We were awake almost continuously from about 12:30 to 4:00 a.m. while our little sweetie threw up five different times. We kept thinking it was over...that she couldn't possibly throw up anymore, but we ended up having to change her sheets and p.j's a total of four times (by the end she was getting the hang of aiming for the bowl.) She remained so calm and sweet the whole time. The experience really reminded me how special and enduring she is. It also reminded me how loving and dedicated Aaron is to both me and our daughters. He camped out in a sleeping bag next to Grace's bed for half the night to assist her in case it happened again. He was her (and my) night in shinning armor.
It's true what they say: that when you serve someone you grow to love them even more, and that blessings can come from our trials.

How horrible. Hope it is short stomach flu! I hate those days...washing and cleaning up.
