ER visit

Had to spend a good amount of time in the ER the other night due to severe nausea and vomiting. Docs still have no idea what is going on.

Girls' haircuts

Friday Sun

 Last night a huge storm passed through and knocked out our perfect 74 degree weather we've been having.  The kids however are not deterred in the least.  They have been playing out in the cooler sunshine all morning pretending to be on some kind of whimsical adventure while taking intermittent breaks to warm up on the dark pavement.

 The girls are getting hair cuts tomorrow afternoon and I will post new head shots of all of them this weekend or early next week. 

 Soon I will be calling them in to get some book work done and maybe sip some warm tea and munch chocolate cookies.  Because that makes "school" better every time.

Around here...

 

With all my recent health challenges, traditional school has been put on the back burner for a couple weeks.  Instead, there has been long talks on the trampoline and applesauce making.  We've been reading through books quickly making trips to the library a must as well. 

Brielle's first tooth

 

Brielle ripped her first tooth out taking apart some Legos.  It wasn't her loose tooth! 

Health update

 

Today I've been in bed all day trying to recover from too much yesterday.  I thought I could participate in the Open this year and just take it easy the rest of the week.  Last night I had chills all night that wouldn't reprieve despite several blankets and my space heater billowing.  My entire right side thrums with acute pain so I just lay here, detached from the world.  My diet consists of warmed bone broth and tea.  The alarm on my phone reminds me to take my handful of supplements throughout the day.  My lesson has been learned- hopefully- and I will be pulling out of the Open competition.  I will rest more and learn to be okay with the loss of the past year's progresses made in the gym.  We will read more books and worry less about worksheets for school.  And continue to draw close to the Lord knowing he is sovereign and good.   

Craft love

 

Had a lovely girls night with all of my crossfit ladies.

Picture Roundup

 I was going through my pictures and couldn't remember which one I had posted yet.  Sorry if I doubled up on some.
