Caleb went out in the back yard to play the other day. A couple of minutes later he came flying through the back door slamming it behind him saying "Whoa.......there are things flying around everywhere out there!" He stopped to take a breath and calm down I then heard him mutter under his breath " I guess it's not safe to play outside anymore."

Seems he still remembers being stung by the bee last year.

So.......what does a little girl wear to a cat's birthday party?

Just took this picture from my back porch.

woke up to the sound of my son barfing all over his room, hallway and the bathroom. poor guy.


guess we'll be staying home today, and i'll be scrubbing the carpets, walls, shower curtain.......it's amazing how far puke travels. gross i know....... but hey, this is my reality for today. at what age do they actually make it to the bathroom before it all comes out????

I'm still here......

Wow, it feels like my life has slipped into warp speed or something. I'm not really sure what is keeping me so busy.....I guess having three kids may have something to do with it. I spent all of last week helping Carolyn move, it was very busy and crazy but thankfully she is now settled (and decorated.)

I thought I'd give you all an update on Gary. The results of the tests came back and they were all good, nothing appears to be wrong. This is good news, though he still feels like something is up. The doctor advised him to cut caffeine out of his diet and change some of his eating habits. We will see if that helps the pain in his muscles. He has an appointment in May to have the lump in his arm looked at and then removed. Thanks to all of you for your prayers. Gary also began a new job (well, old job) today. He returned to work at the body shop he used to work at years ago. I am a little concerned about him being exposed to all the chemicals again but we had to make this change in order to bring back some financial stability. I am so thankful for my amazing husband who will do whatever it takes to take care of me and his 3 kids. And He does it without complaining, he's a good man.

This change of course means that Gary is out the door early and not around during the day to help out anymore. I'm now running to the school three times a day and transporting children to music/piano and tap lessons. Definitely feeling like a taxi. All is good.......Gracie is old enough now and tags along without fussing. I'm really enjoying the mom thing.

I remain thankful & content.
