Recovering

OK, my goal was to post once a week so I had better not drop the ball the first week!

I think that we are all recovering from everything. I am thinking about getting us T-shirts that say "I survived the Plague of 09." Jordan says that the side effects of all the medications that we were on are just about as bad as being sick itself. Reuben has terrible diapers and now a diaper rash. We cut Audrey's last two days of prednisone in half because we couldn't handle her biting and pinching people any more. (The doctor had left the length that she was on this to our discretion.) I am not taking my antibiotic tonight because it feels like it is burning a hole in my stomach.

Jordan got a lot done this weekend. He raked and bagged leaves and got the shed almost painted. He ran out of trim paint!

We (Jordan, Reuben and I) leave bright and early Tuesday morning for FL. I think that I am excited. I didn't think that I would be anxious about leaving Jonah and Audrey. I also saw that it is supposed to rain everyday that we are down there. I hope to spend some time resting, reading and just thinking through life a bit. You can pray that we have safty as we travel and come back recharged!

A Very Late Posting of 1st Day of Enrichment Class!

 Yep, enrichment classes started over a month ago and I am just now posting the "First Day of Class" photos.  This year we cut back to just one day.  It is lovely.  Jonah and Audrey are both taking art and science.  Jonah is also taking drama.  I am really curious to see how he does with that because he has been really excited about it.  The back packs are completely unnecessary, but a must for the back to class picture!     Getting Ready to head out!   Miss Poser as she gets ready to go inside!    Way too cool for this   Me too Mom!

A little Reuben update

I took Reuben in for his 4 year today.  Last year...36 lbs 36 inches.  This year 39 lbs 39 inches.  73% for weight and 22% for height.    The nurse said "Buddy, you are a square!"  We knew that already. He got referred to an allergy Dr.  On the one hand he is too young to start allergy meds (unless he starts not being able to sleep-then he'd be looking at shots.) but knowing what he is allergic to could help us make better decisions for him (watch pollen counts, tell Jonah there is no dog in his future, etc.)  Looks like it is time to start figuring our how to get him to take apple cider vinegar!  (Sigh...)
