Life Lessons

Eli learned an important life lesson this afternoon. When pretending to be an "army man" it is not a good idea to do a front flip off the bed when there is nothing on the floor to catch you. I was in the living room and he was playing in his bedroom this afternoon when I heard him start to scream. I rushed in there and he is lying on his back at the foot of his bed, crying. I asked him what was wrong and he told me, "I was doing a back flip off the bed and I landed on my back! It really hurts!" He told me later that he wasn't going to do any more flips off his bed...I'm not going to hold my breath. He recuperated with a little Gatorade and The Backyardigans. I'm sure he's fine, but he'll be sore tomorrow!

In other news, I am doing much better. The last two days have been 2 Advil days, and that is pretty normal around here. (By the way, Advil Liquigels are a wonderful invention!) My house is still a wreck, but I did finish those two pressing projects I needed to get finished. I don't feel quite as overwhelmed now, either.

Our friends, Casey and Kristen Cooper, really need your prayers right now. They are expecting twins and she has been put in the hospital on bedrest due to some contractions and bleeding. Please pray that the babies will hold off their big arrival for about another week (even though we are all dying to meet them) and that when they do come, they are healthy and safe!
