so...

we've been home for one month and one day. In that time we have had:

• 1 week of VBS
• 1 national holiday
  
• 1 broken arm
• 1 trip to the hospital and 2 clinic visits for the broken arm (she got her cast off on Friday and is moving her arm around just fine so I will cancel the other appointment we were given.)
  
• 1 dr. visit for Catie. she has alopecia areata
• 1 visit to the pathology lab for blood tests for Catie
• 1 visit to the community health centre for hearing tests for all 3 girls.
• Beka was diagnosed with moderate hearing loss.
• 2 visits (and 1 more tomorrow) to the doctor to work on clearing and draining Beka's ears.
  
• 1 round of antibiotics for Beka.
• 4 birthdays--Catie, Roseanne, Auntie Jennie, and Andrew
• 2 lots of babysitting--watching Ben and Emily while Jennie had a meeting, and watching Noah and Dave Elson while Shane, Marlana and Maggie went to a meeting.
• 1 weekend of fun with the Elsons
• 1 playgroup
• 1 ladies' meeting
• 1 week of the most horrible humid weather I can ever remember.
• 3 partial weeks of schooling.
• 1 afternoon of swimming with HBCA
  
• lots of colouring, working quietly together, watching dvds on the laptop in my room in the air conditioning.
• lots of late night, early morning, heat, or any combination of those, crankiness.
• trying to remember to just "go with the flow"
• lots and lots of busy-ness that just hasn't been recorded on this blog.

I forgot to mention that we've also used up 1 jar of grape jelly and 1 bottle of hershey's chocolate syrup. I guess I'd better ration that last jar/bottle of each. =)
