girl time

My girls' weekend was wonderful. The moment I got past through security in the airport and didn't have to rush to my plane I thought, "What should I do now?" It was incredible. Just to be ALONE. I had a book that I have been itching to read, "The Shack" and I got half way through it on the trip. (Have I been able to pick it up since then? No.) As soon as I spotted my friends at the airport, picking me up, it was as if my heart sighed- relieved to see the faces that had traveled with me through so many good times. It was a great weekend.




The first night we talked until 2 in the morning. (difficult for me normally) The next day we went shopping and helped each person find the desired item that they hoped to discover that day. That evening we vegged out (literally)
And then we decided to quit dreaming about them, and actually go pick up some cupcakes.....

Anyway- thanks gals for a wonderful weekend! Thanks Grandma Lynn for helping with the boys!

On that thankful note- Thanksgiving was a good time as well. The boys LOVED having Grandma and Papa here. My mom brought them some new legos and Ian played with them for hours straight. It was amazing. We had a nice mix of relaxation and getting out and doing fun stuff. It made me so thankful for family.

The latest on Luke is that we are trying a gluten free diet (although he tested negative to celiac) 10% of kids do test a false negative. So we'll probably have to do the scope unless we get answers before then. Gluten free is a pain! Especially since he doesn't understand why all of the sudden he can't eat things. But it could be a lot worse. He had a couple of solid poops about 24 hours after we started it, and then a day and a half later- he had diarrhea again. We'll give it a while before we rule it out. (dread).

But all the same, a great weekend.
