January's Over

Well my blogging lately has been a little pathetic to say the least. January has come and gone and it really hasn't been the most fun month. Kerri has been here for the last week and we have been following her itinerary. Cade got here last night for the the weekend. Their visit has definitely been the highlight. It's fun to see little Luke. He is a rabble rouser. Today Grace is getting baptized so that is going to be a nice experience. Today is also Nathan's birthday. Happy Birthday Nathan!! Olivia is at a birthday party this morning, a teddy bear breakfast. I am teaching in YW tomorrow so I should probably be finishing my lesson. Oh ya, I got a new calling. I am now the second counsellor in Young Women. I will have 18 beenhives this year. WOW! I've done this calling before so I basically know what I'm doing. It should be fun. Sommer will be a beehive next year so it will be fun to be her leader.
For most of the month I have not felt good. I have had this weird arthritis type thing and been very tired. The doctors did a bunch of blood tests and I will get the results this week. Hopefully it turns out to be nothing but an annoying virus or something. Sean's Mom had a tonsil removed this past week and is doing well except for the pain.
The kids are doing well. Olivia had surgery the first week of January. It was an exploratory thing to see if they could find out why she has had so many bladder infections. Well they got in there and found that she has had urine reflux all this time just like Erik had. The doctor was surprised that it didn't show up on any of the tests she had done. We were very relieved to have an explanation for all the infections and are hopeful that they are now over. She was amazingly brave throughout the whole experience. Although at the end she yelled at the nurse and said she was never coming back here.
Well that's all my brain can think of right now. I'll try to be a bit better blogger in February.

I found your blog! I can't believe Sommer is going to be a beehive, I was a beehive when I moved to Calgary. Time sure flies.
