Week of Adventures

ad·ven·ture \əd-ˈven-chər\ noun

1 a : an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks b : the encountering of risks

2 : an exciting or remarkable experience

This one is my own definition...inspired by numberous family vacation experiences with our friends the Hayes'...

3: an unexpected happening that is often less than desirable

Monday was President's Day...we were all happy to have a day off...we didn't get to sleep in...it was snowy...and we had to get our taxes done. Nothing adventurous about that. Tuesday was normal up until we got home. Lilian started screaming and saying that her arm hurt. She never acted like that before. We ended up in the ER. 3 hours and 6 x-ray's later we were told she had "nurse maid's elbow" which is basically a dislocated elbow. Good thing for little ones is that the bones aren't hard yet...still a lot of cartilage. Once back in place, she was happy as a little clam. Wednesday was my only night at home, so I skipped Bible study. Thursday was a program with my 2nd grade students. They did fabulous! On the way home, however, I got a major flat tire! I'm so thankful to my wonderful hubby who came to my rescue! In the end, we got 4 new tires. Friday we spent our tax refund on a ceiling and a floor for the basement. Looking forward to having that! And since I started writing this blog a few days ago...
Lilian has been to the Dr. and has bronchitis and ear infections. So she is on lots of drugs. The thing is, she never acted sick. But she is in a very good mood now, acting more like a 2 yr old every day. And we've got 4 months to go. Her latest "trick" if you call it that, is talking. It's getting her to stop that is the "trick". My mom just laughed. Wonder why...
Anyways, I guess that's about all of our adventures for the moment. I have a feeling this "adventure" is far from over. For the time being, here's some more current pics:
