A Quick Update

Yes, we are still around! Life has a way of taking over January and February each year. We are still at my parents’ in NC. We are so grateful for Mom and Dad’s graciousness to host us while we are settling back in to the South.  I just wanted to send out a quick update.

 

Chris has work – lots of work! He is in New York for the 2^nd week on one particular job. Then he will mostly be working out of the home with intermittent travel. God has granted me the desire of my heart.

 

I am currently wearing a Holter heart monitor for near syncope and orthostatic hypotension. This is a fancy way of saying I frequently feel like I am going to pass out. Last week the doctor measure a significant drop in my blood pressure when I stood. Even after over-hydrating, I continue to have the dizziness and near syncope. So the EKG looked good, blood work looked good. And this annoying little monitor was the next step. I get it off tomorrow and go to the cardiologist for follow up next Tuesday.

 

We are in the middle of intense birthday months. David, Chris, John-James, Brennan and Elysiana are all celebrating. Brennan is almost 13 (Boo-Hoo), could be 6’ 5” when he finishes growing and is being checked for asthma. David has gone to bug heaven (my mother’s garden). Gabriella and John-James both have decided to ditch their shoes and run barefoot. Literally. I can’t hardly get shoes on their feet anymore! Elysiana is planning her 4^th birthday party – cupcakes at the park. Isabella is talking in paragraphs and has been upgraded to the booster seat at the dining table. And Havah has sprouted another tooth and now occupies the high chair.

 

We are very excited about where God is taking our family this year.  I am looking into expanding my blog into potential ministry avenues. The children are brimming with business ideas.  Stay tuned… well, give me a few months… J
