Dearest Readers

I've missed you all, and there's been too much going on to catch up on it all, but to give a mental picture, just envision our family inside an enormous ball of yarn winding and rolling it's way around a house, 1,000 times. That's how we feel. :) Unraveled but still worth something if we can roll it all together again someday.

7 more days of complete chaos of schedule and order, and then we may be free! It's too good to consider and at this stage, we're just focusing on 1 day at a time. Tonight, I do laundry and at least 1 hour of cleaning back at the house.

Liam had his 6 wk check up (which is closer to 7 wks)....he's 12 lbs 13 oz!!! Mommy wasn't hallucinating that the car seat carrier felt like solid gold to carry around.

The girls are responding very well to their antibiotics and so far, Andy has escaped strep. Praise the Lord. This program is very unforgiving. One fail and you begin OVER AGAIN, not next semester....a YEAR from now. That's intense. As it should be, we all want quality in our health care providers.

My mind is running through many, many to-do's as I sit here. Since the girls are entertained and Liam is sleeping off the mean nurse's pokes, I just may do something frivolous....like go to the bathroom....alone. Don't worry...I'm raising the bar on my expectations each year. Next year, I'll dream of going shopping alone, and the year after....(10th anniversary) it'll be a (short) TRIP with each other, but childless. Oh, happy thoughts. :)
