A RAT FAMILY, SUPER-SIZED SPIDERS AND A CHUBBY BABY |
May 12, 2008

Those of you who know me well know that I DON'T like spiders, not even little ones. You might be surprised to know, then, that I completely ignored a silver dollar sized spider that was on the wall in my bathroom. In light of the several large plate-sized spiders I had seen (and fled from) in the last couple weeks that "little" spider didn't seem worth the effort to kill:-) Then there was the Mamma rat and her five baby rats that were nesting in a box I was unloading, and the electric meter that caught on fire, costing us several hundred dollars to replace and a day and a half without electricity . .
After these kind of experiences these last two weeks you might be surprised to hear that we are doing well, really, really well. Our kids are healthy and thriving. Caleb is officially on the charts! 16 1/2 lbs and in the 5th percentile! I promised myself when we were watching him hang on to life by a thread in the hospital that I wouldn't sweat the small stuff any more . . .and while I can't say I've kept that promise completely . . . It has been easier to focus on the blessings rather than the trials. Healthy children, our first home in nearly 11 years of marriage and 18 moves, cement walls that don't catch fire when the electric meter does, and on and on!
So, thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray for us. |
