And the 23rd...

January 23, 2007 Day +1392 Day 1090 off therapy
Today was another good day. It is so cold out and I hear from ole James Span that the next few weeks will bring record setting cold into the area. Could it snow? Wouldn’t that be fun. Taylor is ready to buy that sled he wanted for Christmas. I can not convince him that it will not snow that much or not again for years. I do wish it would snow a good snow that they could play in. Logan has never seen snow and Taylor has only seen NYC snow.
It was a good day despite none of us wanting to get up. I ended up getting dressed at the very last second seeing as we were running behind this morning. I just grabbed the first thing hanging in the laundry room. I didn’t realize until I tool Logan’s coat off at school that we matched. How embarassing. I make the kids match all the time, but I don’t want to match too. We all had a good laugh about it.
Taylor did not eat any lunch today. He said he didn’t feel good at lunch. He had a headache. He is stuffed up and I am sure that it is his sinuses and he has a sinus headache. However, it is very hard not to let your brain start going elsewhere. He came home and played and ate a few snacks just like normal and he ate a good dinner. He said later that his head felt much better. Let us all be in prayer that this is indeed just sinuses and it will end soon. He has done his saline solution several times today and hopefully that will help. He has an appointment this Friday with the pulmonologist. I hope we can get to the bottom of some of his problems.
Logan is stuffed up as well and has been coughing just a little. He doesn’t really seem to feel bad. He is still blinking really bad and is actually letting me put the drops in his eyes. Jim went to the eye Dr. Monday and though she did not look at Logan she did listen to Jim’s conderns and she feels pretty sure it is allergies. He did do this in the spring and my logic is telling me that it is just allergies and all this cold weather. Again, it is just hard to not let your brain go elsewhere even with your healthy child.
It is getting late and I need to go to bed. I am going party crazy this month. If you are interested in coming to any of them let me know, the more the merrier! Friday, Jan. 26th we are having a purse party. Put your favorite pictures on a purse. Feb. 4th, Premier Jewelry party and Feb. 24th Partylite candle party.
Please be in prayer for Taylor’s sinuses and Logan’s eyes. Be in prayer for all of our friends who are fighting thier own battles.

22 and counting...

Monday, blah. We were all dog tired this morning. Taylor is all chugged up again, blah. We all had a good day once we got moving. I don’t think he feels bad just chuggy. Logan on the other hand I don’t think feels real good. He is blinking like mad with dry eyes. He is whiney as all get out and grumpy.
We had to meet daddy at the eye Dr. since I had to medical card to buy the contacts. That took a while, but I was able to get Taylor’s homework done while we waited and Logan was able to get a nap in. We went to eat in Hoover since we were already there. Logan hardle ate a bite and Taylor did fair. It was so cold in there that I don’t think anyone could really enjoy it. Jim couldn’t see with his eyes dialated and Taylor liked the way his eyes looked.
Please be in prayer for my good friend Cindy’s mother in law. Cindy has been a friend for years and has been super supportive of us and Taylor. Her mother in law has been diagnosed with cancer and can not have surgery until her also newly diagnosed diabetes is under control. Pray that her diabetes is soon under control so that she can get the surgery that is needed. Pray for Taylor’s continued health. Pray for all the kids out there that are still battling.

January 21st Update...

21st January 2007
January 21, 2007 Day + 1390 Day +1088 off therapy
Wedding day!
It was a crazy day. We woke up in a rush and stayed that way all day. We had to bathe the kids and get them ready to go. We had to pack up all our good clothes and head out towards Haleyville which is about 2 hours away. It rained and poured all day long. The boys were good on the drive, but it was nearing lunch time and they were ready to eat. As soon as we got to Uncle Dugan’s house they raded the cabinets. Sorry Anna, for the fruit loops that they left behind! They were in heaven. They had never been to Dugan’s house and they loved it. Taylor played x box with the big boys and thought he was cool as a cucumber. We learned just this morning that Taylor would be the ring bearer and would have to get a tux. He got one at about 2:30 for the 3:00 wedding! He looked so darn cute! We all ripped out our cameras. Well, I ripped out Paw Paw’s game camera that just happened to be at my house seeing as mine was wet:) We all took off in our Sunday best and tennis shoes, it was so muddy. They wedding was beautiful. Taylor wouldn’t walk in by himself, so he came in with Gam maw when she lit the unity candle. How cute. Paw Paw was the best man, so he had someone to stand with. He did great period, but he really did good with no practice or talking about it. He dropped the rings off the pillow, so Paw Paw just held them. I think he was upset about it until the preacher dropped them too. Poor fellow can not smile if he isn’t really laughing about something, so every picture has a fake smile. That is okay though because he looked so handsome. He did not want to take it off. He wore it all through the reception even though all the rest of us had on jeans. He tried to convince me that Dugan said he could have it, but it didn’t work. He finally gave in and left it behind. Jim was thrilled to get “pay back” on his truck. When we got married they put sardines on the manifold, shaving cream all over the window and gear shifter. We were in a jeep with no top, so when the windshield wipers came on we got covered in shaving cream. It is all fun until it is your car! He was a good sport about the confetti and silly string all over the cab of the truck. Logan and Taylor even got in on the action and it is all on film, so they are in for it one day too!
We left Haleyville arounf 6:30 and headed for home. The boys rode with Gam maw and Paw Paw, so it was quiet in our car. We met them at their house to get the boys and came on home. We all went straight to bed.
Please be in prayer for a happy marriage for Anna and Dugan. Be in prayer for Taylor’s continued good health and that of his friends.

The 20th of January...

January 20, 2007 Day + 1389 Day +1087 off therapy
Party day! We had a busy day. We started out by going shopping for dresses for Uncle Dugan’s wedding, tomorrow! It was kind of sprung on us, but that is okay, we are happy for them. After we all had something to wear, we went to the Olive Garden. Though it was Uncle Dugan’s wedding weekend he lost out too Taylor’s birthday weekend and Taylor got to choose where to eat. Both boys ate great. The Olive Garden employees sang Happy Birthday to Taylor too. He didn’t enjoy the singing there as much as last night, but I think he liked that chocolate cake better than the fried ice cream. He ate like a pig!
After lunch we rushed home and got ready for the party. I made a big boo boo. Only for Jim will I tell you all this. I accidentally dropped the camera into the cooler when I put the ice cream in. I didn’t even realize it. When we got to the party and I realized I didn’t have the camera I just thought it was still on the counter where I laid it to get the ice cream out of the freezer. I never thought twice about it. We had a great time at the party and Guh and Bob took pictures. When it was time to eat cake and ice cream we went into the party room and opened the cooler and there was the camera, soaking wet. OOPS! There was nothing to do about it then, so we just laughed about it and went on with the party. Taylor had a ball and got so many nice things. Thank you to all his buddies who came all the way to Pump it up and partied with him.
After the party we went to Hooters to eat. Not my choice mind you. When Taylor asked what it was Jim told him a place that had owls. Ha, my whole house is full of crazies! The kids ate pretty darn good there too. I guess they were hungry after all that jumping and sliding at pump it up. When we were done eating Taylor and Christian got to go sit with all the girls and the whole restaraunt sang Happy Birthday to them. Taylor got a picture with all the girls. How funny is that! You should have seen the looks on the mens faces when they all turned to see who was getting a Happy Birthdya wish.
It was now time to head home. We were all so tired, but we had to check out all the loot. Taylor got some awesome stuff. He is so excited. Thanks again to all that came!!
