The last few weeks

The last few weeks seem like a whirlwind of activity and I guess blogging has been pushed to the back burner. Here's what's been going on:

April 25-29--Ryan and Bridger fly to Denver for a presbytery meeting (Ryan) and hanging out with the grandparents (Bridger). The picture above is from his time there with nana and papa. I stayed home and finished a quilt, cleaned out the entire basement, priced a thousand items for our garage sale, and managed a little hanging with friends and sleeping too. I didn't really want to blog about this during this time because I'm always a little scared in the apartment alone and somehow I feel safer if less people know.

April 29-May 5th--Bridger returns extremely sick and we hit the ER and doctor's office four times this week. He ended up having a strep infection that necessitated steriods, antibiotics, and a week's worth of rest to kick. I took the week off and layed on the couch with Bridger and forced him to eat popcicles. Good news is he is back to his old self now and had a doctor's appointment yesterday where they pronounced him a perfectly healthy 2 1/2-year-old in the 50th percentile (we Sutherlands are usually pretty average).

May 5th-7th--Women's retreat (I'll blog more about this)

And this week has been getting back to work, packing, selling stuff on craig's list (fabulous site, by the way) and starting to get sad about all the goodbyes.
