Dylan is on Day #4 of the stomach bug/flu and the best part is Steven is gone for work. That would explain why I am up so early this morning. Dylan is not keeping much down so he wakes up early very hungry. We will see how long his breakfast lasts today! We just got home from Austin Tuesday afternoon where Melinda is having a tough time also. She is on bed rest and both Layla and River are sick - with different stuff than Dylan has. Please pray for all of our sick babies!
In Austin we celebrated River's 1st birthday and Dylan got to jump around on a bouncing toy in the yard for the 1st time. Dylan had a good time playing with his cousins as always but was glad to get home. I think he missed his Diego couch, puzzles and his movie time. He now can do his wooden puzzles all by himself and likes for you to clap for him when he gets the pieces in. He also likes to clap for himself. I am not sure if I had something in my hands but I clapped for him with my fist closed the other day and he thought that was so funny and now claps for himself with his fists closed! He is now into the Cars movie. Our first copy is stuck in my car DVD player so I had to go buy a second copy yesterday because he kept requesting it. He is not spoiled!
Dylan and I are laying low until he is feeling better of course and until his Dad gets home. Yesterday I did register him for school next year. I did not think we were going to get into our first choice school but they opened another class and we got a spot! I was so excited. So next year Dylan will go two days a week to the same school as Austin (Rochelle's son) and Abby (Kim's daughter). Yeah!
Yesterday I got a very eye awakening email - it was from Joel Osteen of course. I do not know him personally but get his daily inspirational emails. The theme of his message is below:
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (I Thessalonians 5:16-18, NIV).
I had been feeling a little bit of the blues lately with Dylan being sick, Steven being gone and still grieving for my grandmother but this helped me put things in perspective. God is good and life is good and I am going to be joyful. I have an awesome family and friends and the sweetest baby boy ever!
