All is well....

Well, I am feeling much better this Sunday than I was compared to last Sunday....besides all the physical side affects of raging hormones the emotional craziness was much worse....let's hope we don't have to do that every month! I will see Dr. B. on Tuesday this week to go over all this and see what my options are.

Other than that we are all fine. Tyler had a great b-day. I have included a couple pics from that night...I love to see him and Jillian having fun together like that. She really knows how to "push his buttons" most days so we don't get too many pics like that! I took her to see Charlotte's Web at the Children's Theater downtown yesterday so that was fun to do together. I was glad to see the weekend get here...Bret was sick with a pretty bad cold early in the week and then Jillian took her turn with the virile infection that seems to be running rampant around this area...she was just down for 2 days but you could tell she was not feeling well...let's hope we have seen the end of winter viruses around here for this year!

On Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of attending a Next Steps ASHA Tea Party. A variety of products ranging from purses, totes, table linens, jewelry, notecards, etc. are produced in Dhaka city Bangladesh by poor teenage girls and women working with the help and ecomonic assistance of the Scottish charity - Meider Jonno Asha (Hope for Girls). These products are shown in a home setting and sold at very reasonable prices. All of the profits go towards continuing the work with the girls in Bangladesh. The charity started with a goal of bringing literacy to this poor and underpriveledged group and now they are able to bring programs to them to help them get into school and learn to become independant. All of the products they had made were just beautiful and it was hard to choose. I ended up with a small handbag and several handmade cards....the cards were really my favorite because each was signed by the young woman that designed it....I look forward to sending them to special friends for special occasions. This was a great chance to learn about a new non profit organization that is doing amazing things for these women. There was a good turnout so I think quite a bit of money was raised which will help bring new programs to them and help them to improve their craft...when you hear about how these young girls live it just makes you so thankful for what we have and what we must not take for granted...

Have a good week...prayers going out to JD and family this week...love you guys!!!
