Our Week

It was a lovely week. I am so thankful for the nice weather! We took every opportunity to get out of the house and head to the zoo that was available this week. I went once with just my 3 kiddos, the next time I went with my 3 and 3 extra kids for this I got called crazy by my brother in law. . .I prefer to think I just want to make every day life fun and besides that the zoo is 10 minutes from my house and we are zoo friends so it's getting out of the house and getting some fresh air (good for everyone!). Then the last time my sister and a friend went with us with their kiddos and then my other niece and nephew also. It was wonderful and I had fun hanging with my kids and each of the other people that I had the opportunity to hang out with this week!

Last night I had the opportunity to stay the night with my sister as both of our husbands were out of town at a conference in Kansas. We had a nice evening a few friends and both of my sisters came over and together we had a house full of children. To say the least it was loud and crazy but it was also nice to hang out and chat. The down side to the night was that my son didn't go to sleep until 130AM and then woke up at 4 throwing up and we were up till about 730AM he slept off and on but I stayed awake so that I could throw the laundry in the washing machine and catch what I could as it came. Thankfully the last episode was at about 630. He was still not feeling great when he woke up but seems to be better now. I sure hope he didn't spread any virus to his cousins or friends!

I am moving on to a different topic and I would like to request prayers for my family. I have refrained from posting anything on the Internet until I was certain that everyone had the news and no one would find out this way. My cousin Bobby lost his wife Lisa Apple last Thursday. He came home from work and found that she had passed. She was only 29 and had diabetes she also had some kind of infection. However her death was definatly not expected. She leaves behind her husband and her little boy Robbie whom just turned 3 in January. My heart is broken for them and I know that they would appreciate any prayers that could be offered to God on their behalf to get thru this. Her funeral is on Monday at 10AM if you read this and do not have these details please contact me at chan.momto3@gmail.com and I will let you know the details.
