Dr. Appt.

Never thought I'd be so happy to hear him say, "she has a stomache virus."

I truly believe Jesus answered all of your prayers, and that he somehow miraculously protected Georgie from this very dangerous strain of flu.  Please continue to keep us in your prayers.  The flue season is just getting started in Texas.  They closed down Huntsville schools because 14% of the student body is sick with the swine flu and over half of the staff is sick as well.  Huntsville is about 30 miles away from us.  We are hoping to avoid the swine flu until the vaccine is available next week.  Please remember to pray for Reagan and Kate since they come in contact with other kids on a very regular basis.

Update

After a sleepless night, we are taking Georgie to the doctor this morning at 10:00.  So far, Kate and Reagan are doing fine, but they both have runny noses.  Please continue to pray for them that they would stay in good health.  We are giving them plenty of vitamin C, fruits and vegetables, and outdoors play.  Those are the three things that the CDC is recommending for children and adults.

On a more sober note, one of the other families that came to Georgie's birthday party and were not sick, just called me and said that they were taking two of their kids into the doctor today because they were running fevers as well.

I am keeping a close eye on the girls, and will update everyone once we know more.  Thanks!

Swine Flu

On a very sober note, I have to notify all our friends and family that two of the kids that attended Georgie's birthday party on Saturday came down with swine flu.  We are asking for your prayers that it doesn't spread to our family and jeapordize Georgianna's and Reagan's health since they are in the high risk category.  We also ask for prayers for the rest of us that we don't come down with this potentially deadly virus.  Thank you.

All Right, here is a rough sketch for the calendar

Okay, I got a lot of positive feedback for the "relative" calendar.  So, if you actually log on to my blog at http://www.ourtexanadventure.blogspot.com/, and scroll down to the bottom of the page you will see a calendar.  I'm running the calendar through google's calendar tool.  Right now, the calendar only has a couple of "experimental" edits, but if you want to post to the calendar then you can by sending me an email, and I will hook you up with the google calendar.  I'll send you a link and once there you can input upcoming events and dates to share with the whole clan.  So, let's try this out for the next couple of months and see how it works.  It might be a little confusing at first, but I'll work on editing it, and fine tuning the calendar.  I might end up setting up a couple of calendars so that people don't end up with notifications that don't pertain to them, but for now, let's play it by ear and see if we can actually set up notifications.  Good luck, and hope to hear from y'all real soon. And, yes, I actually sound like that, y'hear?

trying something out...sorry if you get a lot of crummy emails over the next few days. :-)

So, here's an idea...

For all of my sisters and brothers and cousins and aunts and uncles, moms, dads, etc... do any of you have a hard time keeping track of all of the birthdays? I was thinking about setting up a google group that would allow us all to enter in our birthdays and then have an email sent out once a month so that we can keep track of it all and decide who to send email happy wishes or cards or gifts to...so whadda ya think? If I set one up would you guys be into it? It might get a little crazy since we all have huge extended families and you might end up wondering who so and so is, but I thought that given the ever expanding distances that we seem to be reaching, it might be a nice way of keeping in touch and up to date. So, if you like the idea shoot me an email. If you don't like the idea, shoot me and email. Love y'all!
