Waiting for this day for about a year!

I am so excited that in a few hours I will be able to go and pick up Adam and Kelly from the airport (that is--if I don't get lost because I have never actually driven there!) I am thrilled that they were able to take off work to come here and hang out with us for a week. We are going to have various visits w/ the old journey group which I am really looking forward too, also because we hardly ever see those people anymore :( So it should be a wonderful time of fellowship and fun!
Anyhow, I have to clean, and get the kids ready before we leave here at like 11am, so I should go...
Adalai is getting a little better... so that is wonderful! I am so thankful for God's blessings that I have receieved lately, what a wonderful God we serve..
Peace to you this weekend

3 days left!

We went to the doc yesterday with both kids and I mentioned in my last post. Wyatt checked out fine, but Adalai has an ear infection. Poor girl! She is on amoxicillan, and is also kind of sick (the nurse explained that she probably isn't suffering and allergy from the meds, but may have a bug also), she spit up a few times and has tummy aches ;( Anyhow, she is getting really big! She is skinny for her age only in the 25th percentile, but weighs 19 lbs 8 oz... And she is super tall! She is in the 95th percentile for her height 30 1/4 inches, and has a big noggin (46 1/2 cm-75th percentile). She is doing well otherwise. We may switch to soy milk. The doctor said that nutritionally, that is it good for both of them and may be a little easier for them both to digest, so we have been doing that for awhile. Cool thing about the Silk milk, is that Wyatt thinks it is chocolate milk ,and I don't even need to add chocolate to it, since it is so sweet. (but actually has less sugar than milk!) So for that factor itself, it is good. They are both going to be back on track soon hopefully! Ben and I also took a sick day yesterday. Neither one of us woke up feeling very well, and with the doc appt and Adi sick, Ben decided to stay home with us. I was so greatful! So we relaxed at home and I got a nap in last night and today which really helped, and then tonight we get to go to Grams, which we always look forward to! In 3 days Adam and Kelly come. I am so so so excited I can hardly stand it, so we are keeping busy until then. I am going to see Little Gram tomorrow morning (of course if everyone is feeling well) and then on Friday we are going to watch Sophie and play here, and then go shopping for groceries in the evening so we are all ready for when they arrive on Saturday. Their flight comes in at 12:30pm on Saturday! We are going to have pizza for supper w/ our friends Andy and Jess, and kind of hang out together. Then I am thinking if everyone is up for it, I am going to suggest the Betty Brinn museum on Sunday... And then I am not sure what is up for the next week, but we are probably going to do some of the stuff that we used to always do together... go to the Elegant Farmer, shop at Super Walmart, and probably fire up the grill, even if it is snowing outside! ;)
We also have lots of cleaning up to do before they come, so I am focusing on that tomorrow... but for today? Rest until after nap, load the kids into the Jeep and then rest more at Grams and let them play...
Have a great day!

Easter

Easter was wonderful. I am so happy to have been able to participate in the holiday for what it is... not just because it was a holiday that I got to celebrate. Because of being a part of the MDP, I have been focusing a lot more on Bible reading, and to actually read the gospel of John and learn about the resurrection. Anyhow, the family time was wonderful too, and the eatin was good ;)
Aww I wanted to post photos, but blogger doesn't like me this evening. Oh well we had a good time. This week is going to be really busy. Tomorrow we have a doc appt for both kiddos, to check on Wy's belly and A's 12 mo appt. And then this weekend Adam and Kelly come to visit! I am so excited, I can hardly wait!
The ped's nurse called today and said that W tested negative for Celiac disease and for milk/egg allergy! WHOOOOHOOOOOOO
