Computer Time





It has been a while since I've had time to post here...with Daddy home...we have been busy! I am SO happy that Drew is home safe and sound and that he also had a great trip. It was a lot of fun to hear all about it and to see the trinkets he brought back. A lot has been going on, unfortunately not with the sale of our house. No lookers. On Monday we plan to put it on the FSBO sites and start praying harder. Kids have been pretty good. I got to go to Meg and D.J.'s schoool this morning and have breakfast with them :-). Alayna has had a great week. She has enjoyed all the trips to Good Will and other 2nd hand stores in search for snowpants, boots, ect. I do believe we have stuff for each kid now. We are happy to have Andrew staying with us now....the kids are certainly excited each morning to find out he slept over. Alayna's b-day is on Sunday evening...it's all about tinker bell. Should be fun. I promise africa pics soon. maybe even this post.

4 Days to Go!

10 days down and 4 to go until my wonderful husband and best friend return home. It has been a crazy couple a days around the Isaksen Clan. Joe came down with an ear infection Friday and ran 103+ temps all day. I was able to get him into the doctor late in the afternoon. He is better now that he is on antibiotics...however my lovely little boy refused to nap for the first time ever. He usually whimpers for a few seconds or minutes just after I close the door...then all will be quiet and he will sleep for 1 to 2 hours. This has been our routine for at least the past year. Today he jumped in his crib, played for a while, attempted to climb out, and screamed. I kept checking on him every so often and after about 45 minutes just gave up. I had a lovely episode as well on Thursday and ALMOST ended up with a D&C on Friday morning. After more evaluation I got hormones instead of surgery...phew! Only, these hormones make me cry at dumb commercials and be overly sensitive. Last week was the Primary program...I am glad it is over. The kids all did a fantastic job! Now we get to do fun songs and relax for a few months. This Sunday we are playing hot potato. It will be wrapped in layers of foil with songs under each layer. Should be fun! My Sewing machine broke tonight!!! Now what? The motor doesn't want to move my presser foot...it just revs. I am supposed to make 3 nursing covers for different peoples! Ugh! I guess I will have to wait until Mr. Fix It gets home. He is really good at figuring out these kinds of things. I guess I will just veg for the rest of the night. Happy extra hour of sleep to everyone....hope Joe sleeps past 5 am though!
