Hectic week

This week has been pretty crazy so far. Starting off with a very exciting weekend with Darren and Alaina. They came down on Friday and left before the buttcrack of dawn on Sunday morning. They generously took me out to eat for my birthday (which is this coming weekend) at my favorite place - Texas Roadhouse, yum!!! And we did some bowling (which I won) and some laser tag (which I got 2nd in, darn you Chris). We also went ice skating where I discovered I have professional potential... or something of that sort... And of course we played lots of board games and rock band which I love to do :-) So all in all, it was a good weekend with great friends.

However... despite all the fun had there was a big negative to the weekend. My baby boy came down with a nasty cold. It was really sad because he got it the night before they got here so he was miserable all weekend and didn't get to have any fun with his uncle Darren and auntie Alaina. Plus we couldn't take him anywhere since he was so miserable, and I didn't like to leave him for long, so that cancelled some of our entertainment options. I just feel so bad for him, he's so stuffed up and I can tell his throat hurts from trying to cough up all the gunk... Chris and I have a little cold now too, but nothing like Elijah's. He is still feeling pretty cruddy, but I think he's looking a little bit better. We're really praying he gets better soon, it's awful when your baby is sick and there's nothing you can do :-(

So I did the taxes today and I am totally pumped because we are getting back way more than we thought we would! I tell ya, having a baby is a real good tax credit :-P We are really excited about being able to pay off some bills. Chris even mentioned maybe taking a little vacation. We've been wanting to for a long time, but haven't had the money at all. Now that God's blessed us with this unexpected bit we will have to pray and see if there's room there for us to spend some on ourselves.

Well baby needs me, blog ya later! I know, I'm a dork...
