What a difference a day makes...

I'm reading a Focus on the Family book now entitled Loving Your Relatives...Even When You Don't See Eye-to-Eye. Mom gave me the book a few weeks ago. She read it several years ago, and her attitude towards certain family situations changed dramatically. Please keep Jacob and I in your prayers as we continue to deal with a difficult family situation. We have seen God at work in the last week, but Satan is constantly showing his ugly face and discouraging us. Please pray that we will overcome this situation and that we are able to recognize that God's perfect plan may not be what we want it to be.

The last week or so has been crazy. Noah was a sick little boy last week with an upper respiratory infection. We went to the doctor and were given a prescription for amoxicillin. Apparently the little guy is allergic to penicillin because he broke out in a horrible rash around his right eye. The doctor then took us off all medication and told us to let the illness run its course. The upper respiratory infection has cleared up, but Noah is running a fever and is broken out in a rash on his back and stomach today. We're going to watch the rash for a few more hours and may head to the emergency room later tonight if it doesn't clear up.

Last Thursday night, we met Jacob's parents for dinner at Hong Kong Cafe in Albany. We then went to the mall where Noah was fitted for his first pair of shoes. His foot measured less than a size 1. We bought him an adorable pair of flip-flops (size 1), but they are too small...go figure.


We spent Thursday and Friday nights at my parent's house in Mitchell County. On Friday night, Mrs. Michelle, Mr. Randy, Bailey, Tyson, Jayna, and Ms. Ann came out and had dinner with us. We had such a great time together and it was soooo good to see the kids! We hope to have many more nights of friends, fellowship, and fun like this in the near future!

We came home yesterday, and time I walked in the door, I realized that I left all of Noah's bottles, cereal, and formula (and my make-up) in Mitchell County. Mom and Dad were kind enough to meet us in Sylvester to give them to us. We decided to meet at Dairy Queen and get an ice cream. Noah thoroughly enjoyed his cold treat ;o)
