Today we had a pretty laid back day. The older boys were playing so well together and creating a puppet show that I left them to it while I worked on cleaning my bedroom. I moved an old dresser from the boys room into the master bathroom/closet. I can’t decide what to put in there: sewing material, blankets, scrapbooking things, or clothes! So many decisions!

Micah (one month) has been doing much better with his tummy/gas problems, but he still has his bad days. I have eliminated all dairy (with the exception of an occasional piece of chocolate!) from my diet. I had some lasagne and cheesecake though, and it didn’t seem to bother him too badly though. He had been having problems with bowel movements, but I started taking 1500mg of Yellow Dock, and that seems to be helping him tremendously!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous today! It was 20 degrees F, with blue sunny skies. The older two boys played outside for quite a while. It has either been below zero or snowing, so it is nice to have sun *and* relatively warm weather!

Praise be to you, Oh God, for your wonderful blessings!

I guess I never got started on my blog! I really want to keep this up, so I will try to be more regular. =)

Naomi (3) has a nasty bacterial infection. She came down with a fever on Friday, and we took her into the doctor on Sunday. She was put on one antibiotic and her urine was sent in to be cultured. It came back on Tuesday that the bacteria is immune to all oral antibiotics with the exception of one. We started her on that one yesterday afternoon, and have yet to see improvement. I am praying that this one works, or she will have to have an IV antibiotic. I am uncertain at this point if that means hospital time. Poor sweetie is so miserable. She is also getting bad tummy aches that make her feel like she is going to throw up.

Dear Lord, please give my baby girl peace and comfort. Please remove the infection from her body, and protect her kidneys. Please allow this antibiotic to work, and restore her to health. In your son’s name I pray, Amen.

Hi all! Today is Aaron’s 7th birthday! We had a bunch of family over last night for Cherry Chip cake and ice cream. He said it was the best birthday ever!

The last week was just gorgeous! What wonderful weather the Lord has blessed us with! The children have been enjoying playing outside every day, and the heat in the house hasn’t turned on in over a month! Yea!

We have been enjoying the weather as a family as well. On Tuesday I took the kids to Christianson Lake for a few hours. On Monday night, our whole family as well as Craig’s parents, grandmother (Nanny), his sister Katrina, and Trina’s friend Kristi all went down Yoder Road to the Montana Creek bridge. We made a campfire, roasted hot dogs and marshmellows, made smore’s, threw rocks into the creek, and just generally got dirty! What a blast!

We are talking about going again tonight if the weather holds out! I think we are doing tacos for dinner this time though.

Well, I guess that is all for now. I am going to try to take a nap while Naomi is sleeping!

God bless you all!
