a necessary trip (and the winner)

The winner of the Charlie Church Mouse software is Lindsay!


Please email me with your info and I'll get the program mailed off to you ASAP!
Congratulations! I hope your little ones enjoy the program as much as Sam does.

In other news...
Monday we will be heading to All Children's Hospital to admit Sam for I.V. antibiotics and a possible bronchonscopy.
A few weeks ago he had a constant cough and an x-ray showed inflammation of his lungs.
The doctor also heard significant crackles (crackles=infection).
After a triple course of oral antibiotics, he still has evidence of an infection in his lungs.
The doctor is not sure what is causing the infection (all cultures have come back negative) so, off to the hospital we go to get a better idea of what's going on.
Our prayer is that they will be able to identify the infection and knock it out with a common I.V. antibiotic.
If all goes well we will be in the hospital for 3-4 days and then come back home to finish the I.V. here.

Sam is actually really excited about going.
Last year when we went, he was in heaven.
Aside from the I.V. insertion, he had the time of his life!
There are video games and movies,
air hockey and board games,
crafts and musical instruments to play with.
This year we will be going to the newly built hospital, so I'm sure it will be even more fabulous!

And, he gets to order whatever he wants to eat, whenever he wants to eat it!
Pizza for breakfast,
pancakes for dinner,
slurpees and nachos and ice cream, oh my!
Last time, he got so used to ordering off the menu, that when we came home and he asked for pizza (I told him we didn't have any) - he asked to see what else was on the menu!
Gotta love him.

Anyways, please keep us in your prayers as we head out.
We will be bringing Ava with us too.
And, although Marko will be able to come up Monday and Tuesday,
it may get a little challenging to keep a 10 month old off the floor and occupied for the whole stay!
Once Marko is gone I'll definitely need your prayers.

I'll keep you posted on our progress.
And hopefully this will end up being a very short, uneventful visit!

just because...

...I love you.
I'm giving away this really great kids software!

No strings attached, no company endorsements...
I just really love this program and decided to give one away!


If you have a 4-8 yr old that loves computer games, this will be a super addition to your home.
 Charlie Church Mouse Bible Adventures is a biblically based educational program for early elementary-aged kids. There are six diferent bible adventures (each with three skill levels) that teach:

Greater/Less Than
Addition/Subtraction
Spelling
Synonyms/Antonyms
Telling Time
Counting Money
Sequencing
Rhyming Words
Problem Solving
Critical Thinking
AND they learn about the bible in a fun way.  

Sam loves these games (we have the preschool and the kindergarten versions as well) and has learned so much! Plus, I don't have to worry about the content of the games because every adventure centers on stories from the bible.

Disclaimer: the graphics are, uh, shall we say...basic. But every kid that I know that has played the games thinks they are fantastic.

SO.
Leave a comment by 5pm Friday and I'll pick a winner!

drum roll please...



But first, I need to vent. 

Does anyone else have a babe that is stuck to you like glue??

Seriously, 
Ava is a BIG TIME momma's girl right now.
For the past couple of days she has flat-out refused (read: screamed at the top of her LUNGS!) to be held by anyone but me. 
It's exhausting.
And I'm totally open to suggestions on how to ease her out of this phase (if possible!)

Ok, enough about me. 
On to the real reason that you're here...the winner!

Well, I guess mystery picture #2 wasn't that tough either.
Almost everybody got it right!
The correct answer is 

MILK JUG.

  And thanks to Sam and a bunch of numbers, 
the winner is...

SAMI
(email me and I'll get the necklace out to you this week)

Thanks for playing.
Next week's photo is going to be a hum-dinger (I promise!).

So guess away! You have until Monday at 5pm to enter.

Happy guessing!

stay tuned...

After being off the computer for a few days, I've got lots of thoughts swirling around in my head. As soon as I get them sorted out I'll share them with you. 

In the meantime, I've got a mystery for you.

Anybody know what this is?


If you guess correctly you could own this bracelet by Sweet P Jewels (that's me).
