Chapter 2 - Page 2 (Sat. 27th update)

Thankfully all three kids let us sleep in a while this morning. Isn't it appealing just to stay in bed and not deal with anything? Exhaustion from all the activity of three kids in the house plus the mental strain and stress of the last few days has made us feel "blah".

Most of the morning we caught up on emails, Facebook, and blog comments by our family, friends, and supporters. Thank you to those who have sent encouraging comments and e-cards.

Today was Ben's 6th birthday, and we took him to Mr. Gatti's Pizza for lunch and games. We left around 11:15 am and stayed till 1:30. We all had a great time. I will post about Ben's special day in the very near future (with pictures).

This afternoon, Ben opened a couple presents and then the boys played outside with some friends while the rest of us took a nap.

This evening, we all spent some time outside walking around campus and talking with friends and neighbors. At some point tonight, I (David) will need to spend some time at my desk working on homework, but just the thought of that right now isn't pleasant.

Plans are to go to church tomorrow, depending on how Kristi is doing and feeling. Today, she felt ok all day, except for being tired. Continue to pray for her in the upcoming days. She will need strength (mental & physical) to go through the next several days.
