Wilson's visit was fun while it lasted, but quite catastrophic when it ended.  I somehow was able to calm him down after telling him maybe he'd come visit again soon.... Christmas time, perhaps.

Cohen never seemed to get better last week even after starting his new antibiotic and my Mama intuition just kept telling me something wasn't right.  Saturday night when his fever hit 106.7, we rushed him to Childrens Mercy.  They ran a series of tests and xrays... all of that only to be told that they didn't know what it was, "probably" a bacterial or viral infection.  (Sound familiar?)  His fever finally broke last night (after 4 days of it being 102-106) and despite not having a temperature anymore, he is still not himself.  Praying for wisdom in this situation and I'd love it if you'd join us in that.

Before our chaotic Saturday night at the hospital happened, I was able to sneak in a sweet family session with a beautiful family from church.  While I was headed there, I was gripped with fear... but it all turned out great.  Getting 3 kids/2 adults to look at the camera was not an easy task, but it was done quickly and the kids were all awarded with gum at the end of the session... hey, whatever works!

I am swamped this week cleaning and prepping for Cohen's birthday on Saturday... can't wait to celebrate with our family and friends!

I'm sure you've heard buzz around the blogworld about Erin Condren life planners.  I've been wanting one since last year when I first heard about them, but the price tag always turned me away.  Plum District is currently running a special that you can get a $50 voucher to ErinCondren.com for only $25, so if you're wanting a life planner or anything else off her website, now's your time to snag the deal!  Also, use the code "fabulous" to get an extra 10% off.  Here's a link to Plum District if you don't already have an account:  https://www.plumdistrict.com/?ref=u4531cfd4cda

As most of you probably know, we don't "celebrate" Halloween around here, but the boys do dress up for fall festival at our church each year.  Because I waited so long to get them, they were both 60% off so I was able to get both of them for less than $20.  I hesitated buying costumes at all this year but with their $8 and $12 price tags, I couldn't resist.  Of course you know me, pictures will come soon.

I love getting phone calls from my newly-married Sister throughout the day.  Love hearing about her setting up their new house, love the questions she asks, love the chats we have.

Cohen's surgery for tubes is scheduled for Monday morning (yep...Halloween) at 7:30.  I keep hearing about how minor of a surgery it is, but for any Mama, you know nothing is minor when it comes to their baby.  However, I can't wait to see my baby happy again.

All that to say... Happy Tuesday.  

I will praise Your name, LORD, because it is good.
