Yesterday Judah let me buy a jogging stroller off of craigslist. It's a Schwinn double jogger with the swivel wheel in front. WooHoo I am so excited to have it. Compared to the the joovy sit and stand i had this stroller handles so much better, so easy to push and both Jaelle and Enoch can sit (and nap!) So we took it out for a test run I was able to walk around for about a hour and a half without the kids whining or fighting about sitting in the front seat it was great. Enoch slept for most of the time then he woke up crabby super crabby so we ended the walk and went home. But I am so very thankful for the new stroller!

On a different note, the kids are finally started to feel a little better today. Josiah I noticed being extra tired and a little listless, last Thursday and Friday and then on Saturday is when he came down with the fever. So he has been ill for about 5 days and today I got an email from his teacher (sent to all the parents) saying that in his class 13 kids (out of 24) were home sick on Monday and today there were 11 home sick. All with the same thing, fevers with stomach aches and/or a cough. But he hasn't had a fever today so long as he is feeling okay in the morning I am going to let him go to school.

Josiah read to me a book called My "K" book all on his own and as his reward he got a new nerf sword. (all his other swords are in pieces or already thrown away) I also found this big book of poetry at the thrift store the other day which i am enjoying a lot it is a treasury of poetry, selected and commentary-ed by Louis Untermeyer from 1959. It's great!

And the last bit of news with us is Enoch has officially been weaned from his nuk! It has been about three weeks or so that he has gone without it! He still asks for it on occasion when he's really crabby or tired and is chewing on other not as badly as I thought he would. After the first two days without it he had woken up the middle of the night screaming and crying a little bit very mad because he didn't have his nuk but wanted it But thankfully it only happened once and hasn't happened since then. Now if only I could get the other two to stop sucking their thumbs!

  1. So glad to hear that they are better. Tell Josiah I'm proud of him reading and I'm proud of Enoch for enduring the loss of his nuk. Jaelle I'm proud of because she is strong and beautiful.
    I think its cool that you like poetry so much you buy a book for it, I have never had the patience although I do like it.

    congratulations on the new stroller it sounds great! Your amazing walking around for an hour with the kids in a stroller.

    Praise God they are well, now we hope and pray that you and Judah stay well!

    Love your blog!

    Thanks for the prayers, Judah seems to be staying healthy although enoch's been pretty miserable today and I feel like i am catching it.
