I am so glad to say that I have NO idea what Eli's counts are today.

We had a lazy day once the older boys went to school. I think we were both just enjoying being home. We went out for a little bit, and I told him that we have to start walking or bike riding in the mornings tomorrow...I have a half marathon to complete in Feb!!!

John is out of town. I think it really bummed him out to leave as soon as we get home, but he will be back tomorrow. He is taking Jacob and Sam to Clemson this weekend for the Furman game. An old friend of mine, Darrell, was really great and let us have his tickets. That should be great for all of them. Hopefully we will all be able to go to a game later in the year. I was thinking maybe Homecoming, but we will see how the counts go from here on.

Going through the boys bookbags I realized how removed I have been since they began school. I really had no idea what was going on. Between my mom and John things are fine, but as a mom I like to have my finger on the button...

Please continue to pray for my brother in law, Paul. It looks as though he has a twisted intestine and he may have to have surgery if it doesn't resolve itself by tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

I am thankful for the beautiful weather we have had. I am actually getting to go out in it!! Although it has been warm, it has been great just the same.
