Life ...

Well, I am finally to the point where I am able to sit and relax for a while each day. So I am going to try to get back in the habit of keeping this record. The move has taken up all my time, and this has been a monster of a month for Jessica seizure wise (she has had 90 so far). But she is doing better and I am getting some sleep and we are all much happier. The doctor is thinking of trying her on the Ketogenic Diet. It works well for some kids that meds don't work for. But it is high in fat (mostly dairy, which Jessica is allergic to), so we have to get some tests done first to see if she can tolerate the high amounts of dairy.
We finally got our computer desk together, but the phone jack doesn't work (it's newly installed) so we are still dragging cords across the hallway to the phone jack in our bedroom to be able to get internet service. Can you imagine? CRAZY!
I had my neighbor (who I won a free room makeover from) come and see the house and tell me what she can do to help me make it cuter. She is going to put some suggestions together and then we will work on it next week. So I am putting off pictures until then. But I will post some soon.
Matthew is loving preschool and comes home every time with a new song he learned. I swear he has a photographic memory. The other day in the car he found a ring he got at church a couple of weeks ago and he said, "It used to have a paper on it that said, I the lord am bound when ye do what I say, but when ye do not what I say you have no promise, want to learn it mom?" Repeat after me ... I was cracking up and was amazed that seeing the ring weeks later would remind him of that lesson.
A couple of days ago I got a call from the music leader in our old ward in Lindon. She wanted to know if Matthew would sing in Sacrament Meeting. I said, you realize we've moved right (I was kidding - of course she knew that), and she said "well, he was so cute in the Primary Program and my husband and I went home wishing you were still in the ward so he could sing and I got to thinking well, maybe he still could. So I asked the bishop of he thought it would be appropriate and he said, Absolutely. So I am asking." We said we would do it and so we will be going to our old ward the last Sunday in October to sing a primary song in sacrament meeting.
Tomorrow we are going to the old house to pull up the garden and get everything, so we will finally have broken ties with the house. : - ( But we are loving it here and looking forward to good things to come.
