Just another day

Ella had a fever over the weekend, 105 degrees, it was VERY scary, I was on my knees praying to God for her to be healed. We were on the phone twice with children's mercy on how to handle it. I was nervous we would have to bring her in, but thankfully after Tylenol, a luke warm bath and drinking fluids we were able to get it lowered. We had her sleep with us, Mike and I barely slept. The very next day she was back to her normal self so we thought it was okay to take her to church - but then yesterday afternoon we noticed a rash like all over her body, we are taking her to the doctor this morning. Hope its nothing serious, I don't think so. Probably hand, foot, mouth - what Alex had, because he seems to be healthy and you can only get that once. I got sick when Alex did, it was terrible, I am glad I wont get that again!

I am going through Ella's clothes and seeing what I can sell them for either at a consignment or try to sell on Craig's list, I'd love to give them away to friends but I am trying to find ways to bring in some extra cash. Also, I realized my kids dress better than I do and I have no clothing that fits me. We never go without though, thankfully. I may get a job a few days a week. It would be nice to get out of the house on my own for a little bit. We'll see. In the fall I am going to give away an outdoor family portrait session at my MOPS gatherings, that way the ladies will know I am a photographer and can do outside portraits of their families for a reasonable price. I may try some studio stuff too. And then there is Arbonne. I hope to put some effort into that, it takes a lot of effort to be successful and while I know I could be successful at it, there is a cost for success and it means time away from my family. I'm just not ready to be away from my family very much.

For now, I am enjoying my play dates. We have a group of four of us ladies and we switch houses each Friday, its really nice, a little chaotic but nice to get to know them better. They are all really sweet and so are their darling kiddos. Our kids are all close in age by months so its nice.

Austin is up about two times overnight. Not too bad. He is growing like a week though! He is so long and gaining weight great! I love nice plump babies. They are so cute!

Mike made me coffee this morning, it was ready when I got downstairs...he is such a sweet guy!

Well, I heard a plate go overboard, better get back to the kids.
