Well, there is not a whole lot of anything interesting happening at our house these days. It has felt really busy though. Here are a few things we have been up to:
- Getting Chris moved into his new office. He had to paint it and get it set up, and he has been counseling in it all of this week. He seems to be really enjoying his own space. It is clean and fresh, and just in need a of a few more touches before it feels done. He wants to wait and share pictures with you after it is completed, so you'll have to wait a bit longer!
- Chris is feeling much better than he was. For about three weeks, he was really sick with a cold/flu/sinus infection/ear infection. He is still not completely himself, but he is doing much better.
- I have been volunteering to help gather prizes for Touchstone's (that's the agency where Chris works) major golf tournament fundraiser coming up in June. It has been very time consuming, and I find myself using most of Josiah's nap times to make calls, send emails, etc. I have even been out, in the rain, collecting prizes. I'm sure it will all be worth it. It has been difficult for me, as I do not feel very efficient anymore, but I love to feel helpful!
- I went to a banquet on Tuesday night to celebrate with the mom's group I have been attending this year at Hillside Church. I love it, and am sad that it will be ending in a few weeks for the summer. I have met some really nice moms there, and will hopefully be connecting with them and their babies/kids throughout the summer.
- Josiah cut two more teeth, and I didn't even know it! I knew he was majorly teething, but just couldn't see anything. Last night we were singing an action song where I tip him over at the end, and I saw something white in the top gum. At first, I thought it might be a piece of food, but I felt it and it is definitely a tooth, and the one on the other side is poking through too. The strange thing is, that they are on the sides (either the second or third ones from the front), which is why I missed them. I had been looking for the top front two, or the bottom ones that will grow in beside the two he already has. Oh well!
- Josiah went to a birthday party last weekend. One of his little baby friends turned one- so much fun! Of course, Josiah loves any opportunity to see a large number of people, so he was thrilled. We had to leave a little early, as he started getting cranky and tired and I didn't want him to ruin the party with a major melt-down!
- We had a cheat/waffle night with our friends, and I made, for the first time, gingerbread waffles, and they were so good! I've had the recipe for a while now, and just hadn't gotten around to trying it.
Well, that's us. Hope y0u all have a Happy Mother's Day!
