OOPS! 17 months!

Well just shoot me I didn't get around to posting last month so now I have 2 months to account for. No big worries. I've made a few changes as to how I am going to write this blog, YAY for me! haha.......

What is going on with Elijah:
He is learning how to run faster and better....we can still keep up with him. He is talking and learning more and more every week. We have a few picture books at our house and both grandparents and he loves to get the books and have someone sit down with him and read it. I normally ask him where something is and he points to it. If it is an animal I ask him what it says (if I know he knows it). Animal sounds he currently knows is: cat, dog, snake, bird, goat and lizard (although not sounds but tongue movement). He does however know many other animals. His vocabulary is grwoing more and more. He likes to say "Hallo or Hi" and sometimes he tries to carry on a conversation with me and I have no clue what he is saying. We have had to go to the doctor a few times this past few months.....once was for a fungal infection, then a bad diaper rash, and the latest was for a case of Thrush (yeast infection of the mouth) and possibly a bit of Hand-Foot & Mouth Disease (without the hand and foot part). Doctor gave him some medicine and that night was the worst. Elijah and I camped out on his bedroom floor, had our blankies, medicine and bottle of water.....we may have gotten a total of 3-4 hours of sleep. By the next evening he was better and was finally eating after not being able to do so for about 2 days. He now has is appitite back and then some.

Recently a few weeks ago we adopted a kitten from a local rescue place. His name is Tee-Tee (it was either that or Rabbit <--Eli's choice). He is already fixed and had his shots and is 5 1/2 months old. Elijah LOVES to pick him up and carry him over to us and loves it more when Tee-Tee is in a playful mood and chases a boll around. All in all Elijah is happy with the cat and so are we.

What is going on with Fan:
Fan has been going to a chiropractor to get relief for a nerve in his lower back and He had to have an MRI done and it showed one of his lower disks did not have the right amount of fluid (due to not drinking much water) and what looked like a pimple on one of them. He is feeling much better these days. He still works for Dolese and is learning how to drive a mixer truck so that he may get his CDL and keep his job. Things are getting a little tight for us as they have been cutting back on his (and everyones) hours due to lack of concrete jobs and such. Other than that he is doing well, having fun and loving every minute he has.

What is going on with Sara:
I have, as well, been going to the chiropractor for headaches and neck pains. Surprisingly it is not due to my 2 wrecks in 2002. I am feeling much much better and am able to think more clearly without a headache. I am still working for the real estate appraiser. All is well there. I have also taken up modeling as a hobby and once I gain enough experience I hope to get paid for it. Another part-time job I am working on is becoming a blogger for various companies and getting paid for it. It is hard to sift through all the good and bad postings but I'm getting somewhere with it. I am still selling Homemade Gourmet and am working on putting a plan together to start making meals for the busier folks around town using the Homemade Gourmet recipes and products....as well as selling it on the side if anyone wants some. I have a rough goal to get this blogging thing under control and going good, then I can stay home and take on more blogging or virtual assistant/telecommuter as well as Homemade Gourmet on the side. I want to be able to spend more time with Elijah during the day, go to the park or go swim or just play in the back yard, take lunch to daddy and visit him or go see Nana at work....the fun stuff I dont get to do while I am at work.

Pray for my dad as he will be getting back pain relief soon enough.

I have added more pictures of Elijah to his online photo album as well as some of my modeling pictures.

Much love to everyone,
Fan, Sara & Elijah
