Sick and more...

May is flying by, mostly because we've been passing some unkind bugs around our house. It started with a stomach bug, passed from Baby J to mommy and Ryan. Fortunately Logan and Daddy avoided the mess and Grana was here that week to be a HUGE help as mommy was seriously getting taken down hard! We were all (barely) better for Mother's Day and enjoyed a great family day at Grandma and Grandpa's swimming and ordering in Pei Wei! Relaxing and lovely for sure!

Since Mother's Day, the weather here has been phenomenal and we have taken advantage (until this week of course!).  We had a couple of park playdates with friends, have been spending most evenings in the backyard and are bracing ourselves for this summer heat that is coming on full force.

This week has made mommy feel like she's been hit by a train... seriously depressing how incredibly weak I feel after doing the most minimal tasks. I walk up my stairs and feel like I just ran a race. The dr says it's a virus and needs to run its course, but I sure would rather it drop out of the race already... cause when momma's sick, it's hard for the house to function. The truth is, I knew it was coming last week when the sore throat and random headaches arrived, but I didn't want to miss our church's ladies retreat and when Sunday afternoon came, I was a goner! I have trained my kids to enjoy being on the go... and staying home for 3 days now is taking a toll on all of us! I'm feeling better this evening, even cooked dinner, and am hoping tomorrow brings health and a great Yoga class at the Y!

So, in absence of any new updates, that's what we've been up to.

On another note though, we had some family pictures taken in April that I still haven't shared with you all! Here is some of the amazing work of my sweet friend and photographer Sarah Grace. She's amazing really... and we're SO thankful for these memories! And, there were some GREAT ones of J Baby, but those will have to be shared at a later date, along with the family ones minus his face being blurred!!!!

Adoption update: Went to court last month and things went REALLY well for our case. It was a stressful hearing, the approaching weeks took a toll on my emotions, but thanks to our faithful friends and family loving on us and praying for us, we made it through! God proved Himself faithful, as always, and we anticipate with excitement the hearing in July that will line up making things official. J Baby's case file is officially in adoption prep and we will surely celebrate big when this thing is all wrapped up! We cannot thank our prayer warriors enough!

I cannot believe that our little man is 10 months old... and that Ryan is 21 months... and that my big man is going to be FIVE soon! Seriously, we are blessed beyond measure... yes, even when we're sick!
