What was it?<br />Wheat left overnight in the crockpot, dressed with butter, honey and milk. I myself thought it delicious. Avy is always my first awake to great the day. Her energy level has yet to be tapped. Jeremy took the day off of work to help me finish the kitchen.

They are watching PBS kids so I have some time. The weather is wet and rainy, so beautiful. What have we been up to? Well, Jeremy is managing the sales department at Utility trailer and is a good leader there, his people skills are put to constant and continuous use and there are many problems to solve daily for him. He has had some nerve pain that has been bothering him but we are very fortunate to have a Physical Therapist for a brother and he helps Jeremy and assigns him exercises, which Jeremy has been doing. Avy is now 5 and can't wait to be 6, she is keenly aware that her birthday is in July and has many of the details planned out. She began a spanish class this morning and quite liked it, she is reading and loves to ride her bike and play with friends. Mr. Eli is now 4 and is quite particular. We went to the grocery store this morning and he was able to pick out a clearance disposable cammera for his field trip later today to Red Butte Gardens. I showed him how to use it but we will see if it works! Eli has started preschool sports and really went after that ball yesterday. It was fun seeing him enjoy it so well. As for myself. I try to keep the house running and was able to slip in a spin class this morning. Our neighborhood has a bit of a 'coupon club' going on that helps us as mothers to be social. I hear that the kids are arguing now so I will investigate, I do hope all is well with each family and that Heavenly Father is blessing you as richly as he is blessing us with beautiful family moments.

I'm quite sure she thoroughly enjoyed herself and from Rain's report she got an ear full. Avy promised to take them to 'Cabellas' for a tour of the real (dead) animals there. I'm quite proud of Avy and her sociability. It is nice to see. Avy loves to be active. She was quite upset yesterday when her bike broke (hey! I was fixing it.) So dad is off to Walmart to buy her a new one (over achiever). I do not want my children to think that items come and magically appear. This expense was justified because, hey, I broke the thing.<br />Eli fell off the swing set today and practically into Byron's arms. He instantly wanted back up onto the swing so I'm quite certain he is fine. Eli loves corn on the cob and 'fixing' things.<br />As for other family highlights. Daddy had a baseball game and pitched well. We will not mention the score but will let you see some pictures of the Rock cake that Avy and Eli made. It was fun to catch up with Travis, so glad he moved to Utah.<br />I enjoyed my spin class today. No reason to talk too much there but its a good workout to be certain. Its left me craving more. Tomorrow is our rest day! I love rest day. It also ends up being a coupon clipping day as we have a coupon clipping of sorts going on in the neighborhood. One little deal at a time. Its like 'What about Bob'. You know the movie<br />I did try to keep up some on my nursing skills, besides the heavy duty handwashing that goes on around here. I was reminded that when your infusing an IV some of the signs you really want to watch for include infusion, pruritis (itching), inflamation, and redness. Any of these signs of complications would be present if there is a reaction to the infusion. The infusion would be stopped and possibly a medication given to offset the reaction. There some nursing.<br /><br />Oh, and buying the forever stamps make sense as they do not go up in price.<br /><br />The start of our garden was purchased today but not yet begun.</div>Galata Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02961487092020268035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073215219822769035.post-22681439886459974702008-04-30T11:16:00.000-07:002008-04-30T11:17:54.359-07:00Run Avy Run!Happy to report our new treadmill is being put into good use by Avy.

Can I, mother Galata, really get a blog of my family up and running? I've often heard the saying 'if I can do it anyone can'.....well. We shall see. I find it very fun to visit the sites of other families and read up and see new ideas. What a good place to keep track of all that whizzes by in a day! Maybe we can capture a portion of the transpirings and hold it still in some form or another. You know, besides when the kids are sleeping. It is a lazy sunday afternoon for us with Jeremy (dad) in the kitchen cooking, Avy is napping, Eli is assistant chef to Jeremy, and I am enjoying the calm that comes before the storm of monday.Galata Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02961487092020268035noreply@blogger.com0
