Crazy week last week...so much so it's one better left behind! Monday was gymnastics, and the boys did SO much better!! They're looking forward to tomorrow's class and so am I. It will be fun to see them take each new step. And Logan's a hoot to watch! Seeing him try his hardest to jump his way down the "runway trampoline" is worth huge praise, and some serious laughs. He works so hard, and the improvement in 2 weeks is measurable, but there's still a long ways to go. The first week he fell every 3rd jump. Last week it was every 5th or 6th. I can't wait to see what it will be tomorrow--10th maybe? Won't be long before he doesn't fall at all!!
Tuesday was our first day of preschool. I teach one of the children's classes for our mid-week children's program that's part of our womens' ministries at church. This year I am with the crawler/walker class. On Tuesday we had 15 little ones between 10 and 17 months! It was so great!! Ryan and Logan are in one of the 3 year old classes with a great teacher and they had a ball. Asked me the rest of the week when they could go back...
Wednesday was a long road trip to watch Emily play volleyball. After a 2 hour car trip we settled into the gym and watched a great match. Em played awesome and her team won 25-12; 25-17; 15-4. After a fun ride home that included Emily and one of her friends, we tucked two tired boys into bed. Ryan seemed a bit warm, but I didn't give it much thought. Maybe I should have!
Thursday morning when Ryan got up, he crawled in my lap and said "I feel yucky." I knew why, but got out the thermometer to check. Yep, 103. The day went downhill from there, since 3 year olds aren't known for their ability to hit a bowl/bucket/bag when they vomit. My carpet cleaner got quite a workout.
Friday Ryan was DEFINITELY feeling better but Logan started hacking and sneezing. Drippy nose, watery eyes--the whole thing. Not pretty, but he's good about using tissues and throwing them away. Now, if only I could get him to cover his mouth and nose when he sneezes....
Saturday we spent the day watching Victoria play in a volleyball jamboree. The boys were awesome--it was a long day! Her team did well and ended up 3-3 for the day. We dashed home in the rain so that Jim could do a bit of homework, then he and I were off to the fair! In the rain. Oh well....
We enjoyed a bit of time together just wandering around, then we grabbed a bite to eat. While we were eating, the rain quit. That was wonderful, since we had tickets for the (uncovered) infield of the Michael W. Smith/Steven Curtis Chapman concert. What fun!! I loved almost every minute of it!! Two very different styles, but each was special. I am partial to SCC, but most of that is because he's very open about his family and what they've been through in the last few months. His youngest daughter Maria Sue was killed in a freak accident in May. Maria was a darling 5 year old girl who lived in the same orphanage Logan did when she was a baby in China (or so I've heard). His openness and love for his family were amazing to see, and I could sit for hours listening to his music.
And we ended our weekend on a fun note. This morning at church, Logan was dedicated. Well, actually, Jim and I were dedicated--publicly committing to teach Logan about Jesus who loved him enough to die on the cross for his sins. It was a special time, even having done it 5 times before. And as an added bonus, the girls chose to stay off the stage this time so somewhere we actually have pictures of this dedication! There's a first time for everything. :) I'll post them as soon as I know who took them/what camera they're on.
Back to crazy around here with Jim's niece and nephews here while their mommy is in the emergency room with a nasty cut on her finger. Hopefully she'll be stitched up soon so they can go home to bed.
