Friendship

Ok, so I was listening to mid-morning this morning and they were talking about having good friends and how important it is. And that just being there for eachother and presence of eachother when there is something going on in life is so appreciated. And we should be honest with our friends so there won't be any resentment. But also willing to listen and not get so angry if we are approached with things that bother our friends as well. This is hard sometimes. But I think it is so worth it to really get that closeness. I am one that knows how important friends and best friends are. My family isn't real close, so I rely and trust in my friends for a lot. And I hope they feel the same about me.

Well, the family's all doing well. Julian and Carlee are on spring break this week. They are excited about that. Gavin starts at his new sitter on Thurs. She is so sweet and I think he will love it there. Carlee gets her last blood draw tomorrow. Hopefully her last one. We will pray about it.

New things

Well, I feel enlightened, so I thought I would share. Let me know your thoughts..

First a couple people have turned me on to the probiotics for my kids, especially Gavin. They say that it is for kids who are on antibiotics alot. And that dr.'s are still overusing antibiotics, so the probiotics help you to get your Good bacteria that the antibiotics kill off. So that is why antibiotics cause your stomach problems and digestive problems. So I have decided to put Gavin and CArlee on that for a week. They say that people should really take it along with antibiotics to make sure those Good bacterias in your stomach aren't killed off.
Also, it was brought to my attention that Gavin drinking soy could be attributing to his breathing problems. So we are going to try to take him off of that too.
So we are going to be trying out a few new things.. I pray that it works out.

Also, we have decided as a family to start reading Bible stories together every night. I think this is so very important. I think that family bonding should start happening more. Especially with us having a pre-teen now on our hands. Julian is a great kid. We want to keep him that way and add God into his life. And Carlee is learning the Bible stories and undersandin them. This is great!!

I have just been thinking alot and praying alot about our family and our relationship with God. And I know that I need to leave my kids in God's hands daily and he will protect them and show them the right way to go. In this day and time, that is so very important. And I think this will help Aaron and I to grow closer to God and eachother.

So, please keep us in your prayers. And God Bless.

Get Caught up

Ok, well you all know about our family for the most part. I am going to fill you in on the health situations of Gavin and Carlee first.
First off Gavin got a case of rsv when he was about 3 months old. He has had problems with his lungs ever since. He catches everything! And he is on his Nebulizer(breathing Treatments) daily. Also, they found a couple heart conditions that aren't too serious right now. He has a hole in his heart still, but that luckily is closing slowly but surely. He also has a corinary fistula. This is a tunnel between 2 of his corinary arteries.
His dr. has now decided to send him to see a pulminologist at the end of April. We will hopefully figure out if he has asthma and or allergies.
My poor little guy has been sick for most of his life. But he is so happy. He is actually sick right now. Please continue to pray for him.

Now for Carlee...
She has been getting fevers and a headache once every couple weeks since Oct. So, they are doing some blood tests. Please keep her in your prayers as well.
She is turning 5 on Ap 23. And she will be starting Kind. in the fall. I can't believe my baby girl will be in Kind.

Now for Julian,
He is doing great! He gets good grades. He is a math genius. :) He gets a's and b's in that. He is playing baseball this spring and summer. Aaron is coaching him with Julian's grandpa Dee and friend Jeremy as the assistants. This will be keeping us busy.

NOw for Aaron and Me.
Well, we have been dieting and trying to get healthier lately. And in the past 9 weeks I have lost 19 pounds and Aaron has lost 30. We feel great! Although we have given in to temptation over this holiday weekend. :( I don't just have a sweet tooth I have a mouth full of sweet teeth!
Aaron is working a ton right now to try to pay off health bills. He works 2 jobs Mon-fri and one on Sat. and Sun. He never has a day off. He is exhausted. I just changed Jobs to Awesome Image Salon. It is right down Dupont. So not too far away. It so far has been a great move!

Well, I guess that is it for now. Please keep our fam in your prayers. And I will try to keep this updated as needed.
