Okay...that didn't turn out quite like I thought it would...

Well, lately, I've been tinkering with my blog and adding gadgets...not impressed with the inspirational quotes so far...today's doesn't quite reflect my life philosophy or theology...that not men and certainly not women rule the world, it's ruled by a sovriegn creator. Thank goodness. Thank.You.Very.Much.


It's been a day of running around. Beginning at 5am and continuing with Granma babysitting for us tonight while we head out for dinner.

K kept the kiddos while I went to the MD this morning, have to go back for fasting lab work (that will tell of my updated iron-deficiency-anemia status). I see Dr. P, Hematologist soon, but I feel everything is stable. I do not feel run down or sickly ;) I will have to get a Ortho consult for a probable second steroid injection in my right knee. The first time was about 4 yrs ago after a hyper-extension injury...a 3 year old Emily jumped on my leg while it rested on the ottoman. It's actually been great since. But, the leg extensions and going down stairs is beginning to be very painful again. On a happy note my blood pressure etc. is as normal as it was at age 25! Okay, enough about all that, I'm starting to sound old and decrepit, with nothing else to talk about but my ailments.

We've been on the roam for recycling bins...a family project this year, spurned by Emily. To be more consistent with our recycling efforts. I can't find anything specific for that use but will use a rubbermaid tub instead I suppose. We have to trot our recyclables up to Hillcrest and sort it out there. Would love curb side service, but our Waste Management is not that progressive.

so until the next time...

Unexpected Blessings, Birds and Bees

Well, yesterday was an interesting day. It came on the heels of a weekend of sickness, both Nate and Joe. Nate was officially diagnosed with croup and exacerbation of asthma and is still taking steroids and sounds worse, but the light at the end of the tunnel is on! Joe stayed in all weekend and sounded almost as bad as Nate minus the wheezing. We kept our family home (even from church, small group, etc) feeling like hermits. And, even though the boys were both sick, I picked up sweet Bella the dog on Saturday from a friend who works with the NC Lab rescue group. We know we eventually want another dog, but not until Nate is old enough to handle it. Bella, a one year old yellow lab- sheltie mix, house-broken, crate-trained 28 pound sweet girl, is going to spend a little time at our house and see how it goes. The kids think we're pet-sitting to help out Mrs. D, which is true, sort-of. The sweetest moment came yesterday when Nate gave a bedtime blessing to Bella the Dog. ...

Overheard from the front seat of the Mini-van...

Nate: "mommy is E (a friend's son) 2 or 4? Me: "He's 2" Nate: "Well, that's not far from 4" Nate: After a moment "Mommy, How did E's Mommy get the baby sissy in her tummy" Me: "Well, it's pretty cool...God made a very special way for Mommy's and Daddy's to grow a baby in Mommies' tummies kinda like planting a seed" Nate: "Can boys have babies" Me: "No, God just gave mommies the special parts to have a baby in their tummies" Nate: "I want you to get a baby in your tummy" Me: "Well, Mommies parts don't work to have babies anymore" Nate: "Mommy, how old do I have to be to play basketball...."

Last week of summer vacation

We'll start our homeschooling next week. Yep, one week from today...we'll start second grade. I'd planned something fun almost every day this week. But, not today. Today was spent taking Nate for his follow up for his food allergies and asthma. He weighs 34 pounds....don't know how tall, but I think close to 36 inches (he's about as tall as a yard stick in height). The M.D. visit didn't reveal any earth shattering news...no real asthma issues since winter...eczema has been pretty stable since around March, still just seems to flare when he has a lot of dairy...probably will be years before he "outgrows" the peanut allergy. Later today, we went to our local hospital (which Emily still calls "Mommy's Hospital") for a blood draw for levels of antigen for all the most common allergens. We won't know the results for a few days/weeks. There is a possibility that some of the antigen levels have decreased and could indicate that he...
