I'm Baaaaack!

Oh, wow! It's been a while...and yes, we've been sick again. I'm now considering a continual mist of vitimin C along with a round of strong anitbiotics, homeopathics, etc...just kidding.

Seriously, though...C starting with the stomach thing AGAIN...while we were in Louisiana at my friends' home. Let me tell you, it was wild, trying to keep her away from everyone else. No one else got sick until we got home. Then my other girlfriend's daughter started throwing up when she got out of the car at her house. Hers only lasted that evening and night. C threw up about 5 times on Sunday night while we were gone, then once we got the medicine that our pediatrician called in, she seemed better and went on to sleep through the night. The next two days were fine...just some runny diapers. Then...when we got home, LOTS of yucky diapers, so potty training has been put on hold until we're definitely over this stuff.

Other news, L's class valentine party was fun. A little more chaotic than I would have liked (being a former teacher, I like the parties nice and oderly...), but the kids had fun.

L is now praying for our friends in Louisiana to move back to our town. He misses his buddy so much. The kiddos played together SO WELL! It was wonderful...we had plenty of girlfriend time, which is what the mommies all needed!

Hubby is feeling better, so that's great news!

Our church just moved into our first permanant facility...it's wonderful! God is so faithful!

Our tax return is a nice one this year, so I'm getting a few things done around the house. After I come home from my friend's house, I always want to redecorate and organize. She's a homemaking inspiration. :) So far, I've cleaned out L's closet and drawers, purchased things to organize the playroom area, cleaned out our den's cabinets, put more photos in albums and labeled them, and hung some pictures. Still have lots to do, but I'm now in a get-it-done mode.

I can't beleive that my baby will be 2 next week! Time truly flies...still think we should add one more to our family, but if we don't I am so grateful and honored to be the mommy to these two angels.

C is cracking me up right now. She tells me all the time that she's going to "Disney World a-morrow. I gone fwy and fwy like Tinkah-Bell. I Tinkah-Bell, you Wenny, Mommy, and L is Petah Pan, OK?" She gets so incredibly animated talking about it that she actually fell out of her chair one day. (Don't worry, she didn't get hurt!) Precious!

Our biggest news right now is that my baby boy is going to bed without a fuss and without anyone laying with him until he falls asleep. It's close to miraculous for me. It started while we were on our trip. We stayed in my friend's son's room, me on the twin bed, L on the trundle and C in the pack-n-play. I'd put C down when my friend put her 1 year old in her bed, and the boys would play for a few more minutes. Meanwhile, my other girlfriend who lives in our town, would be getting her 5 year old little girl (who doesn't nap anymore) to sleep when the babies were going down for the night. Then, I'd just get L settled in his bed after a book and prayers. He'd fall asleep on his own knowing I'd be in there later and that his sister was in the room with him. We made a big deal out of it, and it all has continued since we've been home. Yay!

Gotta go tackle some laundry!
