March?!?!

Wow...it may be March by the time I finish typing this post...this year is flying by!
Sorry I've been MIA for a couple of days after writing so much on here! It's been crazy busy of course! A couple updates for you...
~I've started my training for the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk. This week includes a total of 12 miles walking and 30 minutes of cross-training. I'm doing great on fundraising right now. THANK YOU to those of you who have donated! You can check out my website here. Most donations take a couple weeks to show up, so I DO have more than just those three donations! :)
~I have kidney stones among other issues right now and finally had to call the doc last night for Vicoden. Today I feel good, but not sure I'll make it until my appointment in mid-March to see the Urologist! UGH!
~Henry is doing great and says (well, lately actually whines) "Mama" daily. Music to my ears! We haven't heard back from the speech therapist yet, so we are still waiting on that.
~Abigail's been terrible lately and it's been difficult on me. Doesn't help that I'm not feeling 100%. She's testing me...and winning so far. I've been praying for serious patience!
~Anything else...hmm...oh, yeah...I FINALLY got an iPod. I think it's funny that I haven't had one yet, since I'm usually ontop of these things. I just haven't ever felt the need for one. Now, with my training, I'll be spending hours walking so I thought an iPod would be perfect. It killed me to have Colin show me how to put music on it though! Those of you who don't know Colin...he comes from a very technically challenged family (ex. family JUST got digital cameras, they use computers very little, we bought them their dvd player since they never got one). It's hilarious! I have some great music on it right now, so it will be great to have!

After church this past Sunday we went to my parents' house (like every week) and my dad asked Abigail if she wanted to go sledding in their backyard. We weren't prepared for this, so she only had a coat and snowpants (left over in the car from school thankfully!). She ended up wearing my dad's hat and socks on her hands for mittens! It became a family affair and we had a blast sledding! I haven't touched these pics and hope to scrap them soon, but for now, here are some from Sunday! BTW...the picture of Colin cracks me up! He's in his Cole Haan leather boots and all dressed up in Banana Republic. He looks like he's trying to model at the top of the hill. :) The joys of being the author of this blog!










Off to bed...maybe...it's still early for me...11:30 :)

Oh girl - I am so sorry to hear about the kidney stones - yikes - I hear those can be worse than child bearing pains. I will pray that those just go away for you! I hear you on the little 3 yr olds being stinkers - ugh - so frustrating at times. Great pictures of sledding - looks like a blast!

I laughed out loud while reading your blog. I can relate to the Mulder technology. Yet- Lois has amazed me with her new skills-seeing that I once helped her save a word document, turn off her computer, and open the web browser :)


Enjoy your ipod- I LOVE mine and it was a blessing on my drive home from NC last night

Kidney Stones? UGH. We will be praying for some patience for you. Those pics are the cutest! I love the one with Abby on the sled. An iPod? CONGRATS.
Anyways- thanks for the update!
