Week in Review

This past week was super busy!  Mostly because we had the revival all week.  It was great.  A group called Life Action Ministries came to put on this revival/conference.  They had something for 3yrs all the way up to the adults.  My kids were too young to participate, but Caylee loved "seeing her friends" every evening in the nursery.  Micah and I hung out in the lobby and watched the screens because they usually didn't have enough workers for the number of nursery kids they had.  (my choice, they would have taken him, but he needs more attention and Caylee is always so good in there so she doesn't take much effort).  Anyways, throughout the week they really harped on what is God revealing in your life that you need to deal with and when you figure that out, do it IMMEDIATELY.  It was all about being immediately obedient to the areas God shows you.  I loved how direct the pastors were and some areas from their own lives really hit home for me.  They hosted a women's lunch on Tuesday.  I had planned on going, but when we woke up that morning I thought we wouldn't go, then changed my mind again and we did go!  The Life Action team members were in the nursery so I was able to leave Micah bc they had plenty of workers.  It was a GREAT lunch and I was able to visit with some ladies from our Sunday School class.  The one thing that stuck out the most was "bitterness is the result of not thanking God for a person or circumstance in your life- even if it's hard or they are difficult"....  She talked about David and Goliath and how God can handle even our toughest situations.  I am SO glad I went to that lunch!  It was probably the highlight of the conference for me. 

Also this week, Caylee officially turned 18 months! A whole year and half!! (More on that tomorrow after her well-check)

Diego got into something this week and was throwing up for about 2 days.  Then he wouldn't drink (and we weren't feeding him since he kept throwing up)... he was looking pretty bad.  So... Matt ran some fluids for him in the living room!  Crazy to see a big dog lying on the floor with an IV in, but it worked and he seems so much better now.  Who knows what he got into though!?!

Finally, this weekend was the first really beautiful weather we've had.  65 and sunny!  Caylee and I (and Micah) had our park day.  Then Saturday, the kids stayed with Matt while I went to Ft Wayne to do some shopping and get my hair cut (FINALLY!).  He took Caylee to Rural King (like Tractor Supply) and they saw bunnies and chicks.  I guess she liked the bunnies-- although we have NO intention of EVER getting her a bunny (I'm allergic and they are DIRTY!).  I found a bumbo seat online for cheap and picked that up for Micah.  We never had one for Caylee, but I think Micah will get lots of use out of it.  Although- at the moment, Caylee seems to be enjoying it more!  We also went back to the park that evening when I came home. 

Sunday (today), Matt and I served in the church nursery.  It was crazy!  The nursery has such a wide age range (infant to 2) that it makes it a little difficult.  Second hour they had 4 kids under 3 months, 2 kids 8 months old, and 4 kids over a year.... I took Micah out and Matt stayed to help.  With all that age range, they only had 2 adults and immediately they each had a kid in their arms, which left about 8 others that they hoped would be good and not need held.  I'm not sure what we'll do with Micah if there continue to be so many kids and few workers... hopefully, he'll get to the point where he doesn't need much and we'll feel better about leaving him. 

All in all, the week was good... we have another busy week this week with Dr appts, Tiny tot gym and our Mom's group.  Should be fun to get outside more too... if the weather will stay nice.
