Child of God

The Heavens are rejoicing

over this little boy!!Last week he accepted Christ as his personal Savior!!

He is now a Child of God!!

He understands what that means,

he has been asking questions for a few months now

and I've always answered his questions but have never pushed him.

I watched him pray in the car the other day,

I see him think and process

and try to understand deep questions

about death,

about heaven and hell.

About living a life for Christ.

He understands!!

I am a very proud proud mommy!!

You should see the smile on his face when I read this to him :)

He is so proud!

rhyming school

blake has asked if he can go to rhyming school.

is that cute of what?

he declared himself the best rhymer ever!

and to be quite honest he is really good at rhyming.

he comes up with silly rhymes every day.

i was called a teeser weeser the other day, lol.

today he said he was rhyme-tastic!!

today we are beginning to all feel better.

daddy is finally home from a week long trip up north.

brayden is better,

ab's is still on antibiotics,

blake still has a little cough,

i'm still a little congested

but over all

we have a foot in the right direction!

we are starting our very first garden!

i'm very excited and can't wait to start to see some progress!!

we planted some seeds yesterday

and are buying the material to start building our garden tonight.

we are hoping for a great big crop this summer!!

antibiotics...

ok... we headed to dr. millers again today. again is the key word in that sentence, lol. i feel confident that this sickness will finally come to an end this time! brayden is currently on his second round of antibiotics (the first for an ear infection, the second for bronchitis) he is feeling so much better!! i had forgotten how well he behaves when he is feeling well and he isn't even 100% yet.

blake didn't have an ear infection just something viral which explains the lack of 'green' coming out of him just stuffy nose, cough and fever. this is supposed to last about 2 weeks, he's had it 2 weeks now so i'm hoping this is the end it.

ab's is now on her second set of antibiotics also. the first for an ear infection the second for another ear infection and chest yuckyness. dr miller didn't say what was wrong with her chest but my unprofessional opinion is is that it sounds like bronchitis. he put her on keflex since she just came off of amoxicillin. he put her on a really really strong dose. it was actually the same dose at brayden, she is 2 he is 6. i feel confident she will start feeling better really soon!!

hopefully when daddy comes home this weekend everyone will be happy and healthy!!

i wanna go away

i wanna go away.

far far away from all this sickness.

last year we were living in new jersey. it was 4 degrees on some days. we had snow drifts up to our hips. we didn't eat many fresh fruits or veggies since they were all shipped from cali and were wilted and beyond expensive.

blake got an ear infection... once. the other children stayed healthy.

now that we are back in fresno, we have been sick almost from the start. it started the week before christmas when my husband got a sinus infection then it traveled around the family until about a month ago. i would get everyone well for a day or two and then someone would get sick again. i finally had everyone well for 2 whole weeks. i was getting so excited!! we were planning trips to the zoo, play dates, church, etc but then it happened. we were exposed to a sickie and the kids got sick. and have stayed sick. we are now on day 17 of straight sickness.

it started off with runny noses, then two of them got ear infections. antibiotics were given but all three of them have had constant runny noses and a nasty cough for a week and a half. our follow up appointment yesterday showed that brayden now has bronchitis and blake and ab's just need to be treated with more decongestant.

then... last night happened. both blake and abigayle had a fever. neither one felt well. they tossed and turned and cried and were cold and then hot and then cold and then hot... ab's said her ear hurt and had so much congestion that she threw up several times.

i'm so tired of my babies being sick. i'm so tired of wiping snotty noses and listening to coughs. i'm so tired of having grippy kids fighting with each other cause they don't feel well.

i hope this is the last of it. if they don't feel well by tomorrow, i'm taking the other two in and hopefully leaving with a magic pill to make everyone and keep everyone well.

pismo

we are at pismo having a blast...
