Dragging

This time change thing has really done me in this year.  I can't seem to get in the groove, neither can the kids.  I just am dragging from it.  Why do "they" insist on this anyway?  What exactly is the point now?

Eli sees the Dr. tomorrow as a follow up to all the crazy stuff last week.  He still has a nasty cough, and today I thought it might be a little worse.  I don't know for sure.  Although, from 3:30pm on he would not let me put him down.  I finally put him in the backpack while I made dinner and he was mostly happy with that.  He is pushing through a molar.  One point is through.  I think a few other molars are on their way too.  He keeps spitting out his meds.  This is new.  He has always taken them quite well.  This time it is a battle and usually a BIG mess.  Tomorrow morning is his last dose of antibiotic... at least for that round.  I'm curious to see how the check up goes.  He just isn't his normal self yet.

My parents have found a great house here in Pullman.  It is just across the street from the church, my workplace.  They will move in on April 15.  It is coming quickly and we are all quite excited for it.

Isaac is busy trying to figure out what he wants to do for his 5th birthday party.  So many ideas...  We will have to narrow it down soon because he turns 5 in less than a month!  That doesn't seem possible. 

Hannah is excited for an upcoming birthday party she was invited to this Friday night.  It is an almost sleepover, just like her party was.  It is for a set of twins, so it is double the fun!  She feels very old and grown up these days.  Isaac doesn't take to that all too well at times!

I am over 250 miles on my bike.  I didn't get as much time on it last week, but Eli took priority.  In the past two days I have gone 19 miles, so I'm feeling good about it.  Alas, I am not losing much weight, but I am toning up.  I am happy with this, although a few pounds shed would be encouraging as well.  I know I am not drinking enough plain water... I need to improve on that and it will make a difference.

All is Well

The surgery was quick and easy and everything went quite well.  It took a little time for Eli to come out of it, but he is back to himself.  Thanks for all the prayers for him!

Tubes for Eli

Despite the fact that Eli is running a slight fever, he will be getting tubes in the morning.  Please pray that it goes well and especially that tonight goes well.  He doesn't sleep well when he isn't feeling great and he wants to nurse to be comforted and get back to sleep.  Well, he can't eat anything after midnight tonight.  This could be tricky.  He is not going to be happy if he wakes.  So, please pray for an excellent night's sleep for our little guy.
