Update
Well, we had to postpone our trip again. We are hoping for Saturday. The B & B is out for this trip....maybe this summer. We are just hoping to get to Fredericksburg to be able to visit a little with my parents, take Maya out to lunch for her birthday, and do some shopping (poor girl hasn't even gotten a birthday lunch or present yet!)
On the upside, we are all feeling much better and Bo has a new tooth! Yup...in the midst of all that flu-stuff, he popped out the top left tooth! (funny thing is at first, I thought all the fever and diarrhia WAS from teething)
He has also taken his first few steps! He kinda pivots on one leg while the other one does the "walking". He also climbed up to the fourth stair yesterday! He is our little explorer! There is no way he is going to be left behind anymore! On the really nice days we have had, I have begun leaving my dining room door open onto the patio. The first time we couldn't find Bo anywhere in the house we panicked...now we know just to go look out on the front porch! He is usually out there exploring to his little heart's content! (I just try to keep the porch swept off really well so no roly-polies, dirt, rocks, etc. end up in his little mouth!)
It has been interesting to have Ryan off all week and not have any plans per say. We have done small odd jobs around the house, went grocery shopping all together, taken some very productive naps (!) and just really enjoyed being together at home. It has been very slow-paced and VERY nice! You would think that with me being at home ALL the time with the kids I might really look forward to time away and although I do enjoy brief times away, I have really enjoyed just enjoying our family at home!
I guess all in all, you could say God has been giving us a crash-course in trusting Him with our days. We can make plans but ultimately HE is in charge! How do I react when MY plans don't work out? Am I able to rejoice that God's plans for me are best and trust Him when things don't go my way?
I am thankful for the rest we have all been given this week! To think that Ryan had a whole week off ready and waiting for him to be able to rest up after being so terribly sick! Wow! God is amazing!
Oh, and the children decided to name the puppy "Arrow". Amazingly he did live (I honestly thought he was a goner). They said they would name him Arrow so they could always remember his life points straight to God who made him well again.

Glad to hear you're all feeling better! Funny that Boden and Lucan are taking their first steps about the same time! When is his birthday again? Lucan is definitely at the no-turning-back stage now! I love it when babies first walk...it's so cute with their little fists up by their head, a determined look on their face, and a smile from ear to ear when they hear their "fan club" cheering for them!
