what's up

I've been struggling to keep up with blogging lately. I have every intention of sitting down in front of the computer for the sole purpose of blogging, but somehow it just doesn't happen. I'm pretty uninspired too. Probably because the time of  day that is allotted for such an even is when I'm totally brain dead and cannot even remember what happened that day....which is usually from the time I wake up.  So there's that.

Anyway.

There's a lot going on. Fall has gotten into full swing with routine, which I'm thankful for.  Wednesday through Friday we've got something going on.

I've jumped into two studies this year. One is BSF where we're going through Acts and the other is the book 'Who I Am In Christ' through my church. The BSF study is a far more intense study of the Bible than I normally do, but I'm excited for the challenge. They also have an incredible children's program and I'm even MORE excited about that aspect. So that's Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Friday mornings Roman is in a preschool co-op.  I'm super excited for him to be a part of something a little more structured in the learning department.  Lets face it, I'm not the greatest at using my time wisely, so this takes a little of the guilt away in those regards.

These last couple of weeks have been a challenge in a different way, though. Viggo has had two fevers which caused at least one ear infection, and I'm currently sitting next to a three year old who is struggling so hard to breathe through his nose he sounds like an 88 year old man.  Seriously, child, just use the other hole in your face. You'd sleep a lot better. So would I.  Just sayin'.  He also talks in his sleep a lot which always keeps the night interesting.

We ended up going to the ER last night because my sweet love had a temp of 104 for the second day in a row and is currently sporting at least a 103 temp. I just wanted to make sure he didn't have bacterial meningitis or something.  I always find it it hilarious when they give you the discharge sheet with the diagnosis on it. Last night our diagnosis was: fever, vomiting, nausea.  duh.  But everything checked out okay. No meningitis, ruptured appendix, ear infection, or strep throat. Just a dang virus.  Poor boy.  He's never had a temperature before (that I can remember), and he is my anti-sleeper. So to have in nodding off all throughout the day is a bittersweet break from his go-go-go lifestyle. and just to show how 'well' I'm coping with this sickness, we've been watching movie after movie after movie for two days now.  I can't wait to detox him (and myself) from the movies.  It's getting us me through now, though, so that's all that matters. 

Some exciting news is Viggo is getting braver and braver when it comes to walking. He's been letting go and free standing more confidently for a couple weeks now, and I caught on video a couple steps with his vacuum  Check it.  

I'm super excited for him to start walking. He wants to so badly he's been trying really hard to figure it out.
