God's Rainbow

This is from Jonah's art class. He made God's rainbow. The purple part he said is God's throne and the rainbow underneath is Jesus' throne. It reminded me of Rev. 4 "...Immediately I was in the Spirit, and there in heaven a throne was set. One was seated on the throne, and the One seated looked like jasper and carnelian stone. A rainbow that looked like an emerald surrounded the throne..."

Exposed

So.... my camera is in the shop. It feels like one of my arms is cut off. If you haven't noticed I have been having some camera issues and had to send it in. Ugh.... I can see the issues really quick and had a slow couple weeks and sent it in. Here's to feeling "exposed" and kinda lost. Haaa!!! If the pictures are not what they usually are, pardon..... get over it. :) They will be back soon. Good stuff to come

A day in the First Grade

Jonah was in a skit and did awesome!!! The 2 first grade classes did a skit on a day in the life of first grade. Jonah played the teacher in his part of the skit. He did soooo good. I am working on trying to get the video smaller so I can post it...

My first day of Preschool

Abby started Preschool today. She is all grown up. And everyone probably wants to know what I did... what else does a mom do... grocery shopping and went to the Library by myself! Pretty sad, but it was nice to not have "extra" hands while going down the isle! She had a great day! Her teacher called this afternoon and said she did wonderful! James even got a story from her about what the teacher said they could and could not paint on and that they got painting shirts. Kinda figured that was the highlight of her day!

A day at the farm... Grants farm

Jonah being the navagator

Walking

Bird... Like you couldn't tell.

On the tram ride up!

We had a fun day at Grants farm on Sat. What a day! It was very hot, but worth it.

Ya, I got nothing

Abby got dressed and wanted me to take pictures of her... She is a riot!

(did anyone notice the tennis shoes with the dress??? After all they are her "running shoes")

First day of First grade!

Jonah goes to first grade!

Diagnosis update

So.... I went back to the Dr. yesterday. He is now changing my diagnosis to... CTD (connective tissue disease) from Lupus. Way to make a blanket diagnosis. Lupus is a CTD... but I have had other symptoms lately that don't go with Lupus, so he is changing it to just CTD until we get blood work done and more observation. I am staying on the Plaquinil because it has made my ANA's go way down and stay pretty stable. So, the good news is I don't have Lupus. Bad news, he is still in the "Ummmm" diagnosis... AGAIN!! Keep praying. :) Many frusterations down this road, but it is one we have to travel. More when I know it.
