Family Date Night and More Snow!

The kids love going places.  Really anywhere is great (although Landon hasn't been too excited about the grocery store lately!).  So we took them to TGI Fridays, they love the kid's Mac and cheese, and Strikes and Spares.  We played black light mini golf,  rode go carts , and played arcade games.  It was a great evening!

 We got more snow!  So much that school was cancelled.  I never heard the exact amount, but we had 12 inches at our house over a few days.

Sickness update

I see that I also haven't updated on my "mystery illness" yet.  On January 4th, I went in for my appointment and found out a lot of things were wrong with me . 😩  My vitamin D was really low, I had systemic yeast,  my adrenal glands weren't doing all their jobs and were stressed out by everything else, and I had mono at some point.  Also I was tested for lupus (negative) and Lyme Disease (negative).  I have 5 different prescriptions/supplements that I am taking.
3 weeks ago on Jan. 29th I finally returned back to work for 1/2 days in the afternoons.  All of the supplements are helping!  I was so glad to be feeling a little better and be able to do some things!  I'm not out of the woods yet, though.  My doctor thinks I have an autoimmune disease and I have an appointment with a rheumatologist on March 1st.
I am also on a crappy diet of NO sugar and very little carbs.  Basically anything that my body would turn in to sugar, I'm not supposed to eat.  So I've cut out all pop, desserts, and most processed food because it all has some sort of sugar product.  It is taking awhile to get used to and I am frustrated some days when I have to make a separate meal for myself.  But I feel so much better than I did that I'm willing to do it.  I still get tired easier and there are times when my arms feel prickly, but those symptoms still let me get out and do things.
I am so blessed by everyone who has supported me, asked questions, given money and gift cards, cards, texts, etc during this time.  God is good.

January review

So, I was told I hadn't blogged since Christmas...which is true! 😁  Here's what we've been up to in January:
Every once in awhile, someone isn't feeling well, we sleep in too long, or the weather isn't good on a Sunday and we have "home church".  The kids plan the service and let everyone know what their role is.  This month, Landon preached the sermon and played a Christmas song while Emmy did the children's story and led praise singing.  It's always so insightful to see what they are learning about God.💒

 We have had a TON of snow this winter and the kids have enjoyed playing in it (well you have to make Landon get all dressed and go out, but then he loves it).  One evening, the Davis crew came over to sled.  Matt made a ramp for the kids to jump and they loved it.  They all played until dark.❄

 Landon also started Vertical Basketball.  He is on the Seahawks and Matt is coaching again.  I just love this program.  They have a practice, game, and devotional each Saturday morning and most Thursday evenings.  Landon loves basketball (just like most other sports!) 🏀
