Sorry....

for being MIA. Sad things, happy things, frustrating things have been a happin' in our life. Todd lost a co-worker to suicide, the president of the school board died at age 51 while swimming laps on Monday, and Bella's sitter's daughter gave birth to a baby boy at 24 weeks gestation. The baby is hanging in there but only weighs 1.5 pounds and is a mere 12 inches long. We saw one of his diapers and it is literally half the size of a dollar bill and is TOO BIG ON HIM! Please pray for all 3 families. I can't imagine the stress and loss they are all going through.

Elisabeth has been struggling with a medical issue for the past few months. We finally got some answers today and hopefully things will be looking up for her. It has been tough to see her so stressed and upset. She has had to miss a few days of school and that just adds to the anxiety. I am looking forward to having my happy 12 year old back!!!

Isabella is doing well....she likes telling me that if I don't do something quick enough she is going to "FREAK OUT". I asked her what it meant and she said that it meant that she is going to freak out. Good explanation. I lost my SD card for my camera yesterday. One minute it was there, the next it was gone. We tore the entire living room apart and all of our computer bags. I asked her if she did something with it and she said "YES". I asked her where it was and said "I forget". How can you forget you STUCK it in the FIREPLACE VENT?????? At least we found it:)
