Today Dave was home sick, very sick. Lauren also spiked a fever again. So far Carmen is fine. I am doing ok although I am very tired. Tomorrow morning I am going to try to get them both in to see the doctor. Lauren had gotten so much better yesterday, no fever, and running around playing. I thought she had a 24 hour bug. Seems this is much worse.

Please keep us in your prayers!

I don’t think I wrote about Dave’s car accident last Wednesday. He was on his way to work and a car cut off a bunch of cars in front of him. As this happened, the lady beside Dave pulled in front of him and slammed on her brakes. Dave hit the back of her. He is fine, although a little sore for a couple of days. The Camry is not so fine and will need extensive front end work. It was an interesting morning because Dave called shortly before I was going to host a MOPS get-together and birthday party for my friend, Lori. Carmen was asleep and Lauren was at pre-school. I called my friend, Tatiana, and she rushed over to watch Carmen and heat up the food and let everyone in for the party while I went to pick up Dave! Thank you God for friends! And, thank you God that Dave wasn’t hurt. I don’t think I could handle anything happening to Dave right now. He gives me great stability during the storms of life. I freak out and fall apart and he is so relaxed and so confident and full of faith. I love you, Dave!

Speaking of Dave, I am very happy to say that Dave mailed his FINAL student loan payment today! Ten years of marriage this August and this is the first time ever that we have been student loan free! Hooray!

Today Dave and Lauren were playing Polly Pockets and Carmen was on the floor next to them. Lauren loves to play like Carmen’s tummy is a big mountain and her dolls sit up on top of the mountain. Lauren thinks it is so funny when the big mountain moves and her dolls fall off! Carmen has a tummy that is very conducive to being a mountain! She is now wearing 3T/4T clothes!
