HI/LO Thursday

*****Before I begin my HI/LO post, I have a prayer request. Would you pray for Caleb? He has a fever. It is 100.8 - not very alarming, especially since he has new cold symptoms, but we do need to really watch it so that he won't need an emergency appendectomy. I called The Children's Hospital -and actually spoke to a Doctor - (they have been nothing but wonderful), and they gave us things to watch out for. Please pray that his fever subsides. Thank you Bloggettes!!!!!!!!!

I have loved this meme idea that is hosted over at The Rigg's family site: Where Laughter Lives, and this is my first time participating. The idea is to list your Highs and Lows for your last week. What a great, and honest, way to record "a day in the life!"

Living the Thing.....the week of Feb 5-12

HIGH's

• We finished our taxes!! and we are getting refunds. Woohooo. I think we are going to finally get a fence along our treacherous road-frontage!! Momma is a happy girl.
• Caleb has been feeling, and eating, really well! He lost 2 lbs, from 31 to 29 over the last two weeks. SO I am really glad he is eating well.
• We got a WEEKEND ALONE as a family (we have had company.... um... nonstop? since Dec 17th, I think!!! it IS good to be loved, though!)
• 65 degree days!!!! We went to the PARK! We put on our mud-boots and went crazy in the back yard. It was precious beyond words.
• Our precious boys are healthy, and not in the hospital!
• We had our last "Stepping Up: Psalms of Ascent" Beth Moore bible study here on Tuesday night. It was wonderful. Praise Him for all that He is teaching me!!

LOW's

• I can't seem to put down the chocolate. I am eating it as we speak. Bugger, that dern PMS!!!!!!!
• Yesterday, I was emotionally unstable, and not a fine example of a mommy. Dern PMS. Really.
• Christian has entered the "I can't really communicate well/at all with words, therefore I shall just whine all of the time" Phase. Know that one??
• Caleb's fever.
  

Some photographic highlights from our week:
