Feb. 29, 2008 - February is Finished!!!
We Made It!!!
I don't ordinarily like to wish time away, but I am so happy to see February over! The main reason being, that my son comes home from college for Spring Break tomorrow! It will be really good to see his handsome face!!! 
I have many other reasons to be thankful that February is behind us. I am still struggling with a bad cough. I just can't seem to get over it. But, I did get past several concerning doctor appointments, and all turned out well. If this cough doesn't begin to ease up, I will need to make an appointment with either my general practitioner, or a pulmonary physician. My surgeon recommended a couple of doctors, so I will consider doing the later. After looking at my X-ray's and CT-scan, she feels that everything looks good, and I should follow the radiologist's advice and retake the CT in 2 months, so seeing a pulmonary doctor would only be because of my cough.
It is difficult to keep up with my busy life when I am feeling well, but I have been quiet tired from this cough. It was a struggle to look at the calendar at the beginning of each week and see what I was facing. However, it is amazing to watch how the Lord worked the details out for me each day. From field trips that were canceled out of the blue ~ to extra help from my husband ~ to friends coming to my rescue. I really need to reflect on the faithfulness He has shown me this past month and etch it into my mind for instant recall the next time I begin to worry about something.
I am thrilled to say that even though we had an extra busy month, even though Alexis lost a week of school time, even though I have been sick and had to add doctor appointments to the schedule , even though we had several unexpected things take place this month, Alexis is almost completely back on track with schoolwork! 
I can't tell you how good that feels!!!

Here are some miscellaneous photos taken this month:
One of our Keeper's Moms set up a field trip to a Butterfly Encounter when the
girls were earning their Butterfly Badge.
The Butterflies were very active that morning
The girls were inside an atrium feeding butterflies on their fingers with
red Gatorade!
Keeper's Valentine Exchange
A not so local Nature Preserve education center. It was definitely worth
the drive to us! The girls are dissecting Owl Pellets.
There's nothing more fun than finding a few rat and bird skeletons! Yuck!!!
