God's Plan

God's plan was done, only it wasn't our plan.  Even though I know this is God's plan it still hurts a little. 

For those who didn't know, a regional position became available inside Wells Fargo and Matt applied for it.  He made it to the final interview, which was in from of a pannel.  He did awesome but in the end they decided to go with someone else. 

Bad Brother

Well Saturday afternoon the boys were all playing nicely in Nathan's room with his Legos.  When all of a sudden Braxton starts screaming, crying, and saying my ear.  Took one look in the room and immediately I knew what had happened.  Liam was sitting on the floor holding a Lego antenna that was about 1.5 inches long.  I knew Liam put it in Braxton's ear, even though he denied it at first.  After about 5 minutes of crying Braxton went back to playing.  It wasn't until the next day when he woke up from his nap that I saw dried blood in his ear. 

So today I called his doctor so she could take a look at it.  For the last couple of days he has been sick with a cold that caused constant drainage.  Well turns out he has double ear infections.  Since the ear that was poked is infected and full of blood we won't find out until it is cleared if there was any damage.  UGH!!!

We are officially on the count down to spring break.  I am really looking forward to a week of vacation.  The boys have no idea we a heading to Great Wolf Lodge.  They are going to be so surprised. 

ITS BEEN FOREVER....

Well I know I have been bad about updating but I have been so busy with homeschooling and other kids activities I haven't had anytime.  I will try to get back into the routine of writing weekly.

This weekend was super busy for us.  Matt ran the Gate River Run, which is a 15K for those who don't know.  He did excellent without ever training and came through at about 1 hour 34 minutes.  Then Nathan and Liam ran in the Junior Gate River Run, which is 1 mile.  This was their first run and they both loved it.  Nathan ended up beating Liam by about 4 minutes. 

After the race we rushed to make their first baseball games of the season.  Nathan is on the Phillies and Liam is again on the Reds.  Matt decided to be an assistant coach for Liam's team this season since he will be too busy with work to take on the head coaching duties. 

On Sunday Matt woke up and his body was physically dead.  Having not trained for the race his legs were totally beat.  He looked like an old man trying to hobble around the house.  I of course had to laugh.

Both Liam and Braxton had their 6 month follow up appointments with their doctors.  Braxton's endocrinologist still wants to wait on the MRI, says everything looks good and we will follow up with blood tests again in 6 months.  She says we will probably do the MRI around 4-5 years old, unless blood test come back abnormal.  Liam's neurologist said everything too looked good, that I could try and take him off the cyproheptadine in the summer and see how he reacts.  I will probably try it but since we have the migraines under control now I don't want to set them off again. 

We also have had to take a break from Liam's speech with Wolfson's because our insurance is no longer covering it.  I have no idea why things have changed but we now have 2 months of bills that have to be paid for out of pocket.  I have applied for the Scottish Rite so hopefully they will be able to pick up one of those months and then we can start going again.  He is still going to the elementary school twice a week so I am not too concerned about it.

Please keep our family in your prayers.  Something possibly good has come up, and Matt and I are praying God's Will will be done.  Even though it would mean big changes for everyone in our family we are open to it if that is God's plan.
