Indian Summer

Okay tell me who has not been enjoying this weather. Today is is going to be 78. Wow, this is November right. SO as with all things, it must come to an end. Winter is knocking and I think it is coming in. Tomorrow there will be a 20 degree difference and rainy. Boohoo. So take ever minute you have today and enjoy Gods creation. Count the leaves. Talk about the colors. Play with the kids outside. Just do whatever you can to love on each other.
So get out there and play. :)

A trip to the ER




So yesterday was Sunday. It was a great day of worship. We all made it to church and Pippi actually stayed in nursery the entire time. This was looking like it was going to to be a great day. Do not get me wrong any day you can worship the Lord is a great day. I just mean a great family day. So we were heading out to the car laughing and being frogs. Thinking where were we going to go for lunch when Tornado started jumping. So as any good mom would do I tried to help him jump a little higher. That is when it happened, I dislocated his elbow. :( I thought I had just scared him but no, I hurt him. So of course I feel like a terrible mom. So we take him to the Summit ER. By the way they were so great to us. David holding him, me bawling they took us right in. Thank you. Anyway to make a long story short he had what they call "Nursemaids" elbow. Turns out this happens all the time. Which made me feel a little better. They just took his little arm in their hands and with a twist it popped right back in place. And just like that Tornado was back. He could move his arm again it was GREAT. I was never so happy to see him put his thumb in his mouth. So here is my recommendation DO Not do the 1,2,3 jump it could really do some damage. I had no idea, but I learned the hard way. So it was very scary for about 2 hours, he is really fine. Trust me he is back to his Tornado self and I could not be happier.

Falling for Fall


I love Fall. I am so excited that my kids love it too. Yesterday was a great day. My husband raked up a big pile of leaves. Then all three of my boys, yes David too, jumped into the pile. They laughed, rolled and just had a great time. They even took turns burring each other. It was a wonderful way to spend our 15Th wedding anniversary. Yes that is right we have been married for 15 years. Wow where has the time gone. I am so thankful to be married to my best friend and together we get to raise three wonderful children. So I encourage you all to go find a pile of leaves and jump right in. You wont regret it.

Much needed rain

I am so glad that we are finally getting some rain. It has been so dry here. One of the best things about the rain is, that it makes great sleeping weather. So this morning I knew that I would want to take a nap. So even though it is my "day off" I worked out any way. I am hoping this will give me the energy to fight off sleep. Maybe I will go out and run in it. That should wake me up. Plus I do need a shower. :) So hope you all are enjoying the rain too.

A new week

Starting a new week. So over the weekend I was fighting a nasty cold. I was unable to workout. Well now I feel well. So now I can start again. On Monday I walked 2 miles. When Pippa goes down for her nap I will be off again. You know I do not leave her alone. I walk to a video. It is kind of fun. I feel like I am walking with someone. Anyway, I will do my best to exercise and keep you all informed. I am still hope to say I LOVE EXERCISE. Keep praying for me.
