Week 7

Our health is getting better.  Mitch handed over his phone so I have better photos now, but the page is made and it's too late.  Benson returned to school, but we still kept him out of nursery.  After the risks we took last week, I couldn't chance it at all this week.  I still made it to sacrament though.

Things are getting crazy around our house.  Mitch has a job interview coming up, he's going out of town, and we are on a mad hunt to find a car before this Saturday.

I've also started to train for the Wasatch Back.  Laying out the training plan made me realize that life is crazier than ever!  Is it really possible for a full time worker/wife/mother/cook/re-licensing teacher to actually train for this thing?!?!  REALLY, is it possible?  Give me some feedback, that way I'll know if I need to drop out or not.

On a more positive note: Mitch and I celebrated Valentines Day this past Saturday.  We put it off because of all the illness and chaos.  We had so much fun.  We opened gifts, shopped and went to Wiseguys comedy club.  The show was as clean as I'd hoped and VERY funny!  More details to come next week.

Week 6 Keep Away!

As many member of my family know, we've been sick here!  We kept Benson away from daycare for almost a week to prevent him from getting the sicknesses that were being spread, only to learn that we were too late.  Benson got RSV and has been a miserable little guy.  I can't say enough thank you's to my parents and parents-in-law.  They have been there for us and for Benson.

I also need to apologize sincerely for the little friends in nursery.  We allowed Benson to go on Sunday thinking he just had a little cold.  We'd planned to keep him out, but both Mitch and I had to teach and Mitch didn't have "back-up" for his class.  We've felt terrible thinking that another kid could be getting sick because of our choice that day!

PS.  This isn't my favorite layout.  I even started over and I still don't love it.

Week 5 - A little late

I'm a little late posting this.  I've been struggling to get over a cold. . .

I can't believe how many funny things my kid does!  

My big news of the week is that my heart hole is completely closed.  I'm off the Plavix, but still on the aspirin.  Yay for doctors and modern medicine!
