Emerging From the Cloud

Well, we are emerging from the cloud of sickness in our house.  I starting feeling better by Saturday.  Aaron is the only one left still struggling.  He hasn't come down with it completely, but is definitely not functioning at 100%.  Hopefully he can kick it very soon!  So since I had been sick and was still feeling weak, I got very little done this weekend.  I did get some good naps in, so I guess that counts as getting things done. 

As usual, I don't have too many pictures to post.  Here is one of the little snake Ana made with playdough the other day.  I thought it was super cute.  It was even cuter in real life.
And here's a gross picture for you.  My swollen middle finger!  I got injured at church yesterday from drumming a little too exuberantly.  : ) I was playing the djembe during the first song at worship and towards the end of the song, I think I broke a blood vessel or something in my finger.  It immediately swelled up and got quite painful - thankfully I made it to the end of the song.  I then switched to the keyboard - my finger was a little stiff and sore playing, but I survived that too - definitely felt better playing keyboard over whacking it repeatedly on the drum.  Today, my finger doesn't look pregnant like it did here (this is 7 hours later after some of the initial swelling went down), it's now just black and blue with a tiny bit of swelling. 
So this week is pretty routine.  I got my school plans done last night and we did our school work this morning.  We only got one day in last week with all the sickness going on, so we'll have to make up for that later.  I'm hoping to get a lot of catch up work done this week too, so I should probably stop dinking around on the computer and get busy.

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
