A New Plague

We have termites! Ummm, we found a little pile of dirt in our bathroom (looked like a tiny ant hill) because they made a little exit tunnel. So let's get back to the exit tunnel... what are they for you might ask. Hmmm.... Yes, they are so these creatures can FLY OUT OF THE HOLE INTO OUR HOUSE! Why wasn't this one of the plagues on Egypt, because just short of the killing of the firstborn, I can't think of a plague that comes close to this horrible! We are getting them treated and closed up the tunnel with duct tape (hey, the pest guy told me to). Even after we treat them, they are alive for 30 days and could still SWARM! I'm really in freak out mode here, so please pray this doesn't happen. I told Jared we might just have to move if it does! I keep envisioning coming in to check on Caleb and having him covered in termites. Then I try to convince myself that I would actually save my son instead of just running out of the house by myself screaming. Ok, I have to go now and put blood on my doorpost in hopes of having the angel of death NOT VISIT HERE!

I'm a bad blogger...

I'm a bad blogger, but a good mother, maybe... at least that's what I keep telling myself!

This is LONG past due, since my son is 3 months old this Friday! But you see there is this whole taking care of a baby and toddler thing while balancing a new job to deal with.

Ok, of course posting the pics for all my babies' fans out there.

SO... I had Caleb Dec. 21st which you might recall is close to a MAJOR HOLIDAY. Did I think that this would be a problem, of course not, because I am the eternal optimist and thrive on doing 101 things at one time. Could I have waited until after Christmas, yes, but I thought, "Hey, who wants to be preggers on Christmas when you could be holding that baby OUTSIDE OF YOUR BODY?!" (Do you put thoughts in quotes, yes, now you do.) Are you with me?

So, it was one thing after another... got that beautiful baby boy, got a sinus infection, took meds, I was allergic (not pleasant AT ALL), also dried up my milk (got it back, praise Jesus!), got NO SLEEP (even in the hospital), cried on Christmas (pathetic, but I was so sick), family went back home, Savannah got a stomach virus, I got that, then we found out we ALL had strep (mom, dad, Chanel, Brian, Jared, me, and Savannah), blah, blah...

We are well now and just basking in the blessings and sleep deprevation of being a family of FOUR! What?! I feel like I'm 40 years old or living someone else's life! It really is so wonderful.

I also am the youth intern for Fellowship Bible Church, and it is a dream job! I write the curriculum for Wed. night Bible study, lead the 10th grade girls, encourage the female leaders, etc. I still wonder when they'll figure out that they're paying me to do what I'd do for free. ;-)

Ok, everyone caught up? Miss you and love you so!
