Reality TV

Anyone wanna take a guess what this is about?



These are items we found in my daughters nose, and the tweezers we had to use to get them out. We had all been munching on popcorn when she came up to us and said, "Look! I hab two ub dem, Daddy!" Also, she obviously can't count yet. I really thought kids only did that on TV. When will I ever learn?

ReallyStupidVirus

So recently we all have contracted the cold that never ends. Thankfully me as Tizzy don't seem to have it too bad, but the guys are taking it pretty hard. Even Jericho has been coughing so bad we finally took him to the doctor.

The Doctor diagnosed him with RSV, and gave him a nebulizer. It is pretty much the saddest thing I've ever seen, him with that little mask on. Probably second only to the time Tizzy was hospitalized with Pertussis. Germs are jerks, huh?

I'm hoping that we all get healthied-up soon. Billy is feeling pretty miserable. Any prayers would be much appreciated. It could definitely be worse I know, so I'm grateful it's not. But coughing your head off does kind of put a damper on things.

We started taking elderberry hoping it'll help our immune systems a bit. Anyone have any other immune boosting advice? I'd probably try just about anything to kick a germ's butt about now. ;)

Deck Chalk

This past week (before all the tornado business, that is, that included torrential rain) we had what I call "they aren't even asking to watch TV" weather. The kiddos were outside for hours, and so was I.

They spent time coloring with sidewalk chalk and blowing bubbles. These fun items came in a box from a friend of mine this past week, and little did she know she would make their week. This was their first experience with sidewalk chalk, and it was definitely a big hit. (Even though they seemed to prefer coloring on the deck?)

We drew everything from cousins to spiderman. And blew bubbles in between the creation of said pieces of art. We even let daddy in on the fun when he got home from work. Looking forward to many more days this Spring that look like this...

From Where I Sit

This is the view from here recently. Love watching the expressions on his sweet little face. Watching his personality, and the little guy he'll grow up to be, start to come out.

Growing Pains

Recently we have been so blessed...new house, job, church family, baby. So many things have changed in such a short amount of time. We've just barely lived here for about 9 months. But we really feel so much more "at home" here than we ever have in the several other places we've lived.

But as with all changes, it seems there are growing pains.You know the end result will be good, but the process is not always easy. There are discomforts and an almost awkwardness while you get used to the changes you are going through. There is the feeling of "waiting", trying to make it work and figure out how the pieces go together.

There are some "growing pains" happening around here. (Nothing dramatic really...we are all happy and healthy and thankful for that. More just that we are getting more settled in and figuring out how it all works as a family of 5.) So I guess this post is just to ask for your prayers as we go through these normal changes and occasional rough patches (specifically this morning as Billy has an important evaluation at work). We are truly blessed to be together and healthy, and are trusting that the other side of these growing pains leave us even stronger for it.
