We have been really busy and really sick for the last couple of weeks, so I haven't had any time to blog. Two weekends ago we spent Saturday morning having a huge garage sale that was a combination of our stuff and my parent's stuff. It was a great success. We then spent that afternoon loading up Aaron's dad' truck that we borrowed, my parent's trailer that we borrowed and our Explorer with stuff to de-clutter and stage our house and drove it out to storage. We have dear friends that live out past Lockhart that are graciously letting us take over their storage building with all of our stuff. They invited us to stay and enjoy dinner with them. It was wonderful. They are truly a precious family and it was a blessing to spend time with them. Then, that Sunday Aaron took one more load out there and we took all of the kid's backyard play toys to my parent's backyard. The rest of the week we spent time thoroughly cleaning the house because last Friday we put our house back on the market. I also spent that week packing. Last Friday the kid's and I left town for an 11 day road trip. We were going to San Angelo to see my grandmother (my mom's mom), Lubbock to see my aunt and uncle and cousins and friends, Clovis, New Mexico to see Aaron's grandparents (his dad's parents), and finally to Midland to see Aaron's aunt and uncle. Well, we made it to San Angelo. Aaris and Titus were getting over colds but then suddenly Friday night Skylyn and I caught colds. Mine was all nasal stuff and Skylyn's had turned into a bad cough. After talking to everyone we were suppose to travel and see, we decided to head home to all get better. Good thing we did. I took the kids to the doctor Monday morning and it turns out that Titus had an ear infection, Aaris had a double ear infection, Skylyn had developed bronchiolitis from her cold and I had a sinus infection. Then, suddenly Tuesday morning I developed a terrible case of mastitis. I must give a shout out to Christy McDonald for coming over and helping me with my kids until my mom could show up to take care of us all. I'm finally feeling a great deal of recovery from the mastitis, but the sinus infection is still ragging on, so I guess I'll be seeing the doctor in the morning for that. Since we were all back home and the kids have all started to really recover, we thought we would take advantage of the great weather and time with daddy. Yesterday we packed our lunches and headed to the San Antonio Zoo. Except for a yucky traffic jam due to construction on I-35 in downtown San Antonio, we had a fantastic time. The kids loved seeing all of the animals. We had some real treats like being right by the window when the two hippos went swimming by, stopped right in front of us and came up to take a breath. The lion's also roared for us. Lots of fun. I unfortunately discovered that I left my battery and battery charger at my grandmother's house in San Angelo, so I wasn't able to take any photos. Then today we went to our church class's picnic at the park event and had a great time playing and fellowshipping. And, finally our realtor held an open house for us this afternoon and it sounds like we got some good activity. So, it has been a crazy couple of weeks, but we all love each other still and are starting to get our health back, so what else can we ask for.
And, since I don't have any pictures from the past two weeks, I just included some of my favorite random pictures:
