Carnival

Last week we got to go to my nieces school carnival after the games.  The kids had fun and Aidric found a new love of rock climbing, probably not something I want to encourage too much.  :) It is a little more dangerous then soccer.  Aidric is also very interested in golf and I feel that is pretty safe.  They say the older you get the more laid back your parenting gets, maybe in some areas, but the older you get the more you see, the more you want to protect.





They were just allowed to move sideways down the wall and not go
above the red line.  Aidric did it perfect even though a couple times he
couldn't reach far enough, so he hung on with one had and swung to
the next hand spot.  Not falling once.


Unfortunately this time of year is not the best for Isabella.  She seems to struggle with seizures more at this time of year.  I really think her medicine helps a ton.  There are days when she really concerns me as I see signs of a possible seizure but she seems to get right through.  A couple Sundays ago she had a seizure as we were getting ready for church.  It was very small but put her to sleep for quite a while.  I stayed home from church with her.  I worked on laundry and she decided to get up, but then was too tired to continue on and would just lay down where she was, then she got up again and laid back down.  When the family got home I had lunch prepared and my poor little girls was laying on the floor by the sliding door staring out side.  One of my children was shocked to see that I was letting her lay on the ground like that, but she was happy and wouldn't stay on the couch anymore.  I pray that this will be an uneventful next couple weeks for her.  We are almost through her hard time.

poor baby, she was out cold.
Tomorrow we are attending a memorial service.  An old dear friend's 18 year old son passed away last week.  He had spent over a year fighting cancer.  Up until last year he had been a normal, "healthy" teenage boy.  It is surreal to me because I was there when she announced her pregnancy with him, and we have been friends his whole life.  As children he and his brother would play with our kids and we have very good memories with him.  Hug your family tight and let go of grudges, life can be incredibly short, live it well.

Well, on a lighter note, I shall attempt to finish planting those bulbs I started yesterday.  Have a great day and God Bless.
