Well, we arrived home a little early from camp. My daughter woke up with a terrible virus Thursday. We eventually had to take her to the hospital. They had to give her fluids through an IV because she was dehydrated. It was terrible. This has been the worst virus I have ever seen. She started at 4:30 Thursday morning, and she still is throwing up. The throwing up isn't as often, but now she has the other part of it too. She is starting to act like she feels better, though, thank goodnesss! Six o… Continue

I am leaving tomorrow morning for church camp. I am very excited because I know Ashlyn will have a great time there, and because I know it will be a very relaxing and refreshing week. However, I am nervous about the eating this week. They serve us three really good meals every day.

I plan to make the Enchilada Lover's Casserole that Tricia posted for tonight. It looks really yummy. Not sure yet what I am going to make to go… Continue

I just returned from our camping trip. We left Sunday night after church to go camping for a few days. Ashlyn had a lot of fun. We went with a couple other families that have kids her age. Eating wise, I did not do so well so I am back on track for the rest of today. Also, I went to the doctor yesterday and it's a girl! We are very excited. Her name is going to be Avery Elise! Ashlyn isn't very excited; I think she could care less. She doesn't have too much at all to say about it. Anyways, just… Continue
