Lucy, I'm Home!

We are home from the Great Smoky Mountains!  We got in at about 2am Monday morning.  So Memorial Day was spent unpacking and re-packing for Matt's business trip.  We had a blast camping even though we got rained on.  We are already planning a trip to Gatlinburg because we didn't have time to visit the city.  We can't wait!! 

We didn't have our camera, but used our cell phones, so I'll upload some of those pictures with a detailed update later.  It was nice to be home in our super comfy bed!

Where Does the Time Go?

Wow, so life has been crazy this past weekend.  

Friday night we babysat for some friends.  That was fun for Kaitlyn.  She got to have her friend *A* over and they played and had fun!  The girls got into some finger paints (not sure how) and decided to create a mural on the closet wall.  Not cool!  At least I can just paint over it, so it's not that big of a deal.  I felt bad when Kaitlyn told Matt not to tell *A's* dad "cause he spanks her really hard."  It really just broke my heart.  I suppose each family deals with discipline in their own way, but for Kaitlyn to have an understanding about it, I don't know, I just feel bad.  I know it's not an abusive family.  That's about all for Friday.

Saturday we had a Rockstar Party for one of Kaitlyn's friend's.  The kids had a blast rockin' out!  Aidan had his first taste of Twizzlers and it was love.  I let him indulge in a few too many, but hey it was a birthday party!  After the party we headed home to pick up Daddy and make a run to Sam's Club.  We stocked up on ground beef, steaks, roasts & chicken.  We like to buy our meat in bulk so we can make two week menu plans.  Anyway, I digress, Saturday ended with just some hanging out at home and relaxin.  

Then Sunday, the fun begins!!  Well, no, not really fun.  We all woke up about the same time, and in the same bed of course...all was good.  Aidan had a diaper change and K was laying at the foot of the bed.  Then she, just laying there, begins throwing up!  YAY!  NOT!  Anyway, this continued for the better part of the day.  She napped around 10 am & I was beginning to not feel well.  My wonderful husband, took Aidan & went grocery shopping. By the time he got home, K was feeling much, much better.  She had about a 12 hr stomach bug.  When he got home, Aidan was napping.  That did not last long, and he woke up throwing up.  Poor baby.  It was so hard for him since he didn't really know what was going on.  He just cried & cried while throwing up :-(  Meanwhile,  I was spending a bit of time with the stomach bug.  Aidan finally finished throwing up around 5 am, and felt much better yesterday.  I still had some lingering nausea yesterday and hardly ate anything.  I feel much better today.

Last night, Matt decided it would be fun for him to get the stomach bug!  Yay!  He got some meds from sick call and has been sleeping since about 11am.  He hasn't thrown up since early this morning, and I'm hoping it continues to stay that way.  All of this sick is no fun!

I'm still a bit tired and not really hungry.  I've been taking today easy, but i really feel much, much better.  Of course, you would have never known the kids were ever sick!

This week is going to be busy. Today K had preschool, tomorrow is End of the School Year Performance practice as is Thursday.  Thursday evening is the actual performance and Friday we head up to the Rockies Smokey Mountains (duh, Thanks Stacy!) for some family camping!!  So exciting!!

I need to find my memory card for my camera to capture these upcoming events.

Break

I took a few day computer break.  I'm slowly coming back.  Trying to get a post together, but I'm pretty sure Kaitlyn has a stomach bug, yuck....  I finally got my computer back from after 1 month & 2 days @ Best Buy.  Yay!  I've been using Matt's, but I'm so happy to have mine back.  It feels like a brand new computer.  I has a new hard-drive and was completely updated and restored.  I lost a few pictures.  I tried to save them but the computer crashed pretty much as soon as I uploaded them :-(  Oh well.

Give This a Look

Sponsor a child online through Compassion's Christian child sponsorship ministry. Search for a child by age, gender, country, birthday, special needs and more.

I am feeling lead to sponsor a child from this company. Of course I have to talk with Matt about it and pray over it a bit more, but I'm really interested and wanting to do this.

I've seen them on a few of the blogs I frequent, Angie's and Brandi's. Angie is going on a trip to Kolkata with Compassion Bloggers for 10 days to minister to the children there. She will be blogging each day I believe, about what they are doing over there. She is such a strong, compastionate woman. I really admire her and bravery & strength. Amazing.

Brandi's husband is also going. His site is linked below. I haven't followed his blog yet, but I will definitely be reading his blogs while he is in India.



Please pray for the bloggers that are going. Pray for their safety in travels. Pray that they can minister to these children and will have a lasting effect on them. Also, pray for their families back home since they will be dealing with the kids alone and away from their spouses.
