dysentery

So today was the day for Sam's four month vaccinations.  I always HATE this time because there is sooo much conflict concerning vaccinations.  We have vaccinated both Ben and Sam and have done ENDLESS research on both sides.  The conclusion we have arrived at is pro-vaccination.  I know this subject is HUGELY controversial so that is NOT what this post is about.  This is about a great friend saying the right thing at the right time. 

I was sitting in the waiting room this morning for Sam's appointment.  We had been waiting for about 30 minutes and had still not been called so I called my friend, Abbie, who was graciously watching Ben for me to let her know that it was going to be awhile.  We chatted for a bit and I told her how much I don't like shot appointments. I said, "I hate holding him while he is getting the shots. It makes me sad." She said, "Well, at least you are not holding him while he has dysentery." Ha! My kind of humor!  It was what I  needed to hear at that moment.  So, here's to good friends that say exactly what you need to hear....and that watch your incredibly active, energetic, sometimes-likes-to-talk-back-and-cause-trouble-by-getting out-all-of-your-cleaning-supplies son. Thankful for you today, Abbie.

Figuring it out

Still learning the blogging ropes. I have no idea how to shrink down the pictures over on the side.  Any help? (Not sure who I am asking since no one even knows I have a blog...except you, Mehgan!)  


This morning in Sunday School, Lance taught us about Philippians 3.  He made a point that I have never thought about before.  I am looking forward to sharing it but I just realized it's almost midnight and little man will be waking up before I know it. Hmm.  Am I ever REALLY going to have time to do this?! We shall see! 

First Blog EVER

Well, here it goes.  This is my first time to blog and I have to admit I am excited and a little apprehensive.  What should I write? How much should I share? Should I go for all family stories or make this my online jr. high type journal? Decisions, decisions.  I guess I will just write about what I am doing at this exact moment in time.  I am currently sitting on my couch blogging.  Sam is in his swing (and once I get a phone that will let me upload photos I will show him to you).  He keeps looking at me and squealing.  I think he may be getting hungry which means that my first blog will be pretty short.  I absolutely adore this little bundle of jelly rolls. He is too much.  Wish you could all see him right now.  He has his finger in his mouth and is going to town. Well, that's my cue.  Maybe the next one will be a little more entertaining. Not making any promises.
