One Day Sickness

We are having a one day fever run through the kids this week which means a half a week so far with someone down. It starts with a headache and then low fever, tiredness and swollen glands causing a sore throat. Our 9 1/2 month old was a sad little guy last night with a sore throat. Every time he cried it hurt! I gave him some liquid vitamins that seems to soothe it a bit and got him to sleep as well as some infant Tylenol which helped the pain and fever.

This morning, I came across a good resource that my help others know how to naturally care for your family with Shaklee supplements. Click on this link. It gives suggestions for coughs, stuffy noses, etc. for kids as well as some helpful things to do to prevent getting sick. I think I will try taking some garlic to help with his sore throat since he is still nursing and good old chicken soup broth!

The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus

Starting next Wednesday, we will be going through a 9-week Bible study with a few other families from our church. I’ll do my best to share what we are learning between now and Christmas. We will be reading through The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus, which is a fully illustrated book written for adults and teens who know little or nothing about the Bible. It explains in a straightforward way the greatest themes of the Bible, step by step, to help us better understand sin, substitution and atonement.

You may also be asking the meaning of these terms, words you’ve heard many times but never quite grasped the full meaning of. These truths are woven through the text as each chapter builds on the previous. By the end, the reader has the foundation needed to understand the importance of Christ’s death and resurrection. The logical teaching of truth from creation to the cross makes for a clear understanding of what the Bible is all about.

End of the Year Photo Shoot

Tonight I went to visit my parents and drop off our daughter for the weekend. I also had a fun time with our 6 year old. Here is his pics from his “photo shoot”. It was such a wonderful night. Thank you Lord for such a beautiful evening.

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Had to include a few other pics from the night. Jude just couldn’t get over grass. He was very inquisitive about the texture and just stared at it intently.
