Our week - a post to help me remember

These pics are from the archives, taken this summer at a Quinn and Layne's birthday party. I never did post them but wanted to, and since I didn't have any from this past week I thought a little shot of summer would be nice!

I don't have any really interesting stories to tell, but we have had a few "happenings" this past week that I wanted to post so that I'd remember someday.

On Tuesday Mike got his stitches out (ripped out I might add) and was told to just take it easy on his ear for a few more days. It looks pretty much back to normal, a touch puffier than the other side, but it has healed really well. He stayed out of jui jitsu this week, just to make sure it was really healed up, and was finally able to go back for a bit today! He now has head gear and said it worked great! I knw he's thrilled that he doesn't have to give it up, or risk damaging his hearing.

Cora has started to identify herself as "punkin pie!" We called her that a couple times and she must have liked it better than the other nicknames because it has very much stuck with her. She also had a 1st today! A self-initiated pee on the potty! She's gone before when we've put her on, or asked her but I think that was more of a coincidence than anything. Today she stared pulling off her pants and diaper and said "I need to go potty." I took her in, sat her down and didn't really figure that she'd do anything, and then I heard Wyatt yelling "Mommy, Mommy Cora's peeing in the potty!" She had - and quite a bit too! I'm excited, but she's only 20 mo so we'll just see what happens - not getting rid of the diapers just yet.

I can tell that Wyatt's little heart for God is just growing everyday in love and knowledge. His prayers have been so sweet and meaningful lately and all he wants me to sing is "Jesus loves the little Children," but since his favorite colors are red and green (yay Christmas!) he always tells me to sing it "red and green and black and white" instead of "red and yellow, black and white." Today he asked me "who is God?", and then "Does He live here?" I explained that God lives in Heaven, but that yes, He is always here with us. I didn't get to explain in any further detail because Wyatt's eyes lit up and he grinned and got excited and said "Oh, Can we go to His house sometime!!!!"

I'm glad the week is winding down and a new one is approaching. Yesterday was a bad "mommy" day and to top it off I had to go to the Dr. I really do not like going to the Dr. (except my ob appts - I did love most of those) and have to be REALLY sick or have something very wrong to go. For the past 2 or 3 weeks I've felt like my heart wasn't beating normally at times, but I tried to ignore it and tell myself it would go away and I really thought maybe it was all in my head?? Yesterday morning I was noticing it more than I had before so I called thinking something was very wrong (and wanting to be sure I woke up this morning), they got me right in and thankfully didn't think I was a total nutcase. Of course the Dr. didn't hear it while I was there, but after I described to him what was going on, he knew exactly what it was and assured me that I was fine and that in normal healthy hearts that is considered a normal arhythmeia (sp?). I was so thankful and relieved to hear that! I was worried that he was going to tell me I had to stop working out or something else that would just be horrible for me to deal with! Praise God that I am fine and can now stop worrying myself to sleep every night!
