Baby, are you British?

  Funny, eh?  The thing is...  I was SOOOO sick, throwing up everything including water, until this morning.  I got up and took a shower and thought I'd try a cup of tea, suggested by my friend Laura.  I don't have peppermint tea and really can't stomach most flavored ones when I'm well, so tried good old Red Rose.  It tasted surprisingly good:).  I'm now on my 3rd cup and it's only 10!  I had a couple slices of cheese and I really don't have the overwhelming nausea from this past week.  A Very good thing since I found this morning when I weighed that I'd lost 10 lbs.  Definitely not a recommended weight loss plan! Hence, the question about this baby being more in touch with our British roots:).  If that's what it takes to eliminate the nausea then I'll be drowning myself in tea daily!  I know that the prayers of my friends and family also have a huge impact when I'm feeling like this, so PLEASE keep PRAYING!

Children's Interesting Things I've overheard or seen while lying down this past week:

Garrison getting all dressed up for church and saying, "I look pretty spiffy.  Elyssia likes it when I look spiffy and escort her around at church." I've heard her tell him that before and he offers her his arm after he opens the door for her.  It's even funnier when she demands that he do so, because we've reminded her that a real lady isn't demanding.  So much to learn, thankfully they have LOTS of time:))).

Caleb told Kiersten, "Daddy and Garrison are gone, I'M THE BOSS now, cause they're gone.  Now OBEY!

Caleb telling me over and over that we get to go to McGowen park when I'm feeling better.

Elyssia's name suggestions: Cere Bellum and Cere Brum.  Wonder what she's been learning in school.  Garrison thought Esther Pester sounded good:).

Kiersten saying"Boo" when told to say "Please" or just wiping her hand down your front when you try to get her to do the sign language for please.

Kiersten eating all the ketchup off her hamburger soup then moving in to steal her siblings while they were distracted:).  Her giggle when she does it is so infectious too. 

I love how when she goes to kiss you she kind makes a pttt sound with her lips. She's trying to do the smooch, but loves to do her version instead.

  That about wraps it up for now.  Scott and Garrison are having an adventure that includes staying with Uncle Kirk for the next couple days, so I'm excited for them.  Thankful that today the Lord is helping me to be feeling a bit more normal too.
