So....We're blogging.


I've always thought of blogging as a bit egocentric: "Here you go, everybody. Be interested in the details of my life." However, my little sister (my own personal reality check) thinks I am being selfish by not blogging. I take that as a challenge. So here I am not being selfish by taking time out of my exceptionally busy day of entertaining a sick toddler to tell anyone who is reading that I am not being selfish. I guess we do have a bunch to talk about: exercising, adoption progress, Matt's work at church, and the sick toddler.

That is right...a sick toddler. Aidan has Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. Yuck. The poor guy has blisters on his tongue, feet and bum- the latter causing me to question the thouroughness of the virus' name. He isn't sleeping or eating anything other than scrambled eggs, grapes and Rice ice cream. It has been rough, but he's pulling thorough. His trains have been a favorite, but I have to say that Elmo has saved the day more than once. Now I am fully convinced that Elmo is an evil ploy to brainwash our children. We're quarantined in the house until his symptoms have been gone for two days. The good news is that the time home has allowed me to catch up on laundry. Whoo-hoo. More later!
