Challenges and Blessings

At last posting was eager to dive back into routine and schooling and resume the norm.  God's ways aren't our ways however, and the morning after posting I found myself entirely bedridden and too dizzy and weak to stand for even a few minutes.  The respiratory flu turned into bronchitis and then morphed into health adventures that have left me spinning for nearly six weeks.  


Through it all I was able to keep things running and after the first week or so of illness I was able to restart partial school and normalize our family life but found myself collapsing into bed in the evening without much spare brain power to construct even coherent sentences for the blog.  We even spent most of one week as refugees in a local relatives home while they were on vacation--while home repairs pushed us out of our own house for a time.  It's been a wild ride, but God's provided richly in every step.  (And the children were fabulous helpers!  It was a joy to see them rush to fill he gaps! )

I'm mostly recovered, our home has been (almost) reclaimed, and things are looking promising indeed!


Our most recent adventure was Keegan's surgery, which I'll detail in a few minutes!  Stay tuned!

I was just wondering yesterday if anything had happened with you because it had been so long since you had posted. I just assumed that things were busy with the children and schooling, and the long summer days. I'm so sorry to hear that you were ill, but am relieved that things are getting back to normal for you now. {{{{big hugs}}}}

I've missed your posts as well and am glad you're back! Hope school is going well and that you and Keegan will soon be fully returned to good health. We'll soon be journeying into the Middle Ages and are looking forward to it!
