Roses & Thorns

Too busy creating memories to do this last week, so here's a sampling from the last few weeks:

Roses:
1. Nathan successfully cured of sinus infection
2. Nathan put himself on an every 4 hour eating schedule (HUGE improvement from every 2-3 over night)
3. Fellowship, and the time of finally doing what I want to do, is drawing nearer. Only 4 shifts left at my current job.
4. Work going pretty well for Dave.
5. My car has a pretty new paint job.
6. Survived an epic thunderstorm/tornado warning with no damage save a little water in the basement
7. Good friend Chuck came to visit and proved to be endlessly entertaining to our boy.
8. Replaced old & busted rusted grill with new hotness grill
9. Our wonderful boy wakes up with a smile on his face and hoots softly until someone comes to play with him
10. First baby cereal experience went VERY well - and we had TWO photographers covering the event

Thorns:
1. Two days after antibiotic completion, Nathan developed new day care cold
2. Daddy and Mommy seem to be fighting this one off as well.
3. I'm having quite a few sleepless nights at work leaving me sleep deprived even though Nate's schedule is getting friendlier.
4. Fellowship, and the time of the 80 hour work week, is drawing nearer
5. Nathan is spending more time at daycare

As usual, our blessings outweigh the difficulties. We have jobs, a home, enough to eat, a healthy baby, and wonderful family and friends. Our thorns are small.
