Stridor
Apparently, Stridor is an inflamation of the esophogas (Sorry about my spelling). Stridor causes extreme difficulty in breathing and is quite scarry at 2:00 in the morning. And, the only thing that relieves the inflamation, besides going to the emergency room, is cold air. So, here is a picture of us saving ourselves from a monsterous medical bill. Cheyne and I took turns holding this little guy all night long. Happy to report Levi is doing great....we are still trying to recover.
The best family night yet!!
WE have been talking about kindness and why we as Christians are kind to people. We are kind and loving because Jesus is kind a loving to us. So, for tonights family night we made carmel apples. It was sooooooo fun. We turned up the music, snacked on a few of the candies, and made beautiful apples. Then we got all bundled up and delievered them to our neighbors' across the street. Talk about out of my comfort zone. It took bravery on all of our parts, but it was so fun to see their faces when we handed them a big plate of those beauties. Our original idea was to make 10, give 5 away and have one for each of us, but after we delievered the five we decided it was so much fun, we kept going. We walked 1 over to our bachelor neighbor, then we marched another 3 over to a family we had never met before. All of our neighbors were delighted and very friendly. After all of the deliveries we came home, sat at the table and sliced up the remaining 1 apple. As we maunched our delicious treat, Cheyne opened up the Bible and read about generosity. It was very meaningful. This so far was my favorite family night. It will be hard to top.
Our family is together again
The goats came to live with us on Saturday. They are doing fine...adjusting to lots of grass and lots of kids. The neighbor kids are loving them and I am considering it an answer to prayer. I have been praying for a way to further relationship with our neighborhood friends. Now they are over everyday after school to pet our exotic pets.
