CJ is quite the waffle obssesser. Just about every day he asks to have waffles for breakfast and lunch, and sometimes both. We have four different irons, so there's a lot of selection, and here he wanted the hearts in favor of Valentine month - just one day wasn't enough love for him!
And then just this past week little man ran a fever in the middle of the day so after a bit of mortin I put him down for a nap. When he woke two hours later his face had completely swollen! I had never seen anything like it, it didn't even look like him and it made me want to cry! He was happy though, a happy little state puff man. I called the doc but we couldn't get him in till the next morning. This is how he looked when he woke up the next morning
He's still so happy even though he's sick! At the doc I was also clued in on his full body red rash (how did I miss that?!?) Which sealed the diagnosis of Scarlet Fever, aka strep. He was given a penicillin shot and is now on the way to recovery.
I have reflected on the blessing of that penicillin shot and the many children that died of scarlet fever before it was available, the book Little Women and the story of the Velveteen Rabbit come to mind. It just makes me ever so thankful for the era which we live in.
On to Teensie Buns . . . Our little Lizzie Jane learned to read this week and is enjoying the electronics section in the paper. She's just so technologically minded!
Okay, so maybe I just caught her at the perfect pose, but it sure is cute. Janie is our little rug rat these days, but prefers to be carried rather than scoot on her belly. She's even up and walking a bit as she holds onto our little wagon. We'll see how far she gets!
Though I don't have a picture to match, Jeremy just returned from California where he endured a practical for his California theatrical pyrotechnical license. He felt it went well, and we're all hoping that he'll be fully licensed soon. Why is he still working on a CA licence if we live in TX you ask? "It's a pastime that pays" he'd tell you. We hope that he'll still be able to travel to CA for weekend shoots throughout the year. Too cool.
And on to me. Well, I am very proud of my blooming interest in cooking. I have had some wonderful guidance, thank you Hannah and Stevie, and just this last week I made some yummy granola. It was so pretty I had to take a picture.
Other than that I'm back into making hair bows for Janie and reading. I'm currently enjoying "An Assembly Such as This" Its Pride and Prejudice from Mr. Darcy's POV, kind of like Midnight Sun but without the vampires and all the thoughts of killing, but I still love it just the same :>In other news . . .
Steven leaves the MTC tomorrow for Hungary! We are all so proud of him and know he will serve the people in Buedapest well on behalf of our Savior.
And Kara is engaged! Donny proposed and they hope to get married in the next year. There have been ideas tossed around about a Star Wars theme, wouldn't that be a blast! Janie could go as princess bun head and CJ could be Yoda. RAD!
More to come next week
