Health Update!

Alex has been up and about some this weekend.  We were able to go in to the city and meet some friends  that were visiting from Arkansas and their children. We had a great time.  We took  them to China town and ate at the "wok and roll". Yes, that was really the name.  The husbands had joked about it earlier, then we ended up going back there.  It was actually pretty good.  The girls, Alex and L hit it off really well.  The boys tormented their oldest son, but he was a good sport.  

On Saturday afternoon, Alex had her Powderpuff derby at church.  She won 3 out of 4 heaps, and although she didn't win over all, her car was pretty cool. I will post pics later.  

All weekend, she complained that her stomach was bothering her, (pretty normal these days) but like the trooper she is, she kept going.  This morning, after a rough night, we were debating what to do about school today.  Gareth went up stairs, and she was already up, crying in pain in her bed.  Now, this is not my little girl. First of all, she is NOT a morning person at all. She is always the last one up and it takes ages.  The decision was made that she needed to stay home, (much to her disappointment) and she slept the morning away.  I can't seem to get her to eat. I pray that we knew what was going on.   I pray that God will reveal to us something in the next few days.  

We did have some success with Liam;s new diet this weekend.  It is much harder than I thought, so I have to really start planning ahead.  We were laughing yesterday that we were REALLY excited that he "did a solid".  (this is the first one in many months)   Boy how our lives have changed.    Hopefully, we will be able to continue this new diet and he will be good to go!!

Callum is doing great!!!(thank you Lord)  He completed his sticker chart in school today and was able to pick a prize out of the treasure box.  He was so excited, and we are so proud of the way he is just blooming before our eyes!!

Gareth is still working every hour under the sun. He has his trip planned to England at the end of this week, so please keep him in your prayers.   I think that is all for now.  Alex is having a test run on Wed. so PLEASE keep that whole situation in your prayers!!!
