Another Accident
I am, again, coveting prayers for my family.
Abbie was out four wheeling with her dad last night and hit a tree. She broke 2 bones in her left arm. She is left handed, so it will be a tough 30 days with her cast. Please pray for comfort for her as her arm heals.
Update on Malakai:
We have a PRAISE report! I had been very concerned about the tops of Kai's hands, closest to his fingers. He was able to fit his fingers under the bandages to touch his burns, and I was constantly reminding him, "Don't touch your owies". The night before last I was really stressed out about it, worrying about infection. I prayed for his hands, that he would not get an infection. Yesterday morning, when he woke up, the tops of his palms had new, pink skin on them. The blistering burns are no longer as easy to reach and Kai has not been touching them.
He did forget that his hands hurt yesterday and fell (purposely) onto the living room rug with his palms down. He tore away some of the skin on his hands because the bandaging was pulled away from his hands. (He cried. It was the first time he's cried in pain since the night he was burned) I called our doctor and she said that it should not prolong his healing process. She will look at his hands again today when I take him in to have his bandages changed.
Health Update:
Ayden has a double ear infection and is on antibiotics, he is feeling a bit better today. My antibiotics for Mastitis are working and I am feeling better, as well.
My parents will be coming out later this morning to help me. I am so thankful! Abbie and I didn't get much sleep last night, and I have to take her and Malakai to the clinic later today. (Kai needs his bandages changed and Abbie needs her cast checked.)
Thank you for your continued prayers.
I will post photos of Abbie's cast and Kai's "boxing glubs" soon.

Prayers Please!!
Malakai, my three year old, had a terrible accident this weekend while we were camping.
The kids were playing outside and Kai tripped, falling onto our hot, closed grill with the palms of his hands. He has second degree burns on both palms - his right palm is completely affected, about 1/3 of his left palm is affected. We took him, along with the other 6 Little Eblings, to the emergency room. The nurses gave him 2 shots of Morphine, soaked his hands in cold water, cut away the burnt skin, applied silver sulfadizene ointment, and wrapped his hands in gauze. He is such a trooper. He says he's wearing "boxing glubs". He has pain medication for at home. He will be going to our home clinic every day to have his dressings changed. (I called our family doctor at home this morning - she is a total doll - and asked if she'd be willing to change his dressings. I just don't know if I could do it.)
Please be in prayer for our Malakai.
Also, Ayden, our 6 month old, is running a fever tonight and I have mastitis. Please pray for complete healing for our family.
Thank you so much!

Out of the Storm
The kids and I went to my nephew's graduation party on Saturday -- it was great fun, with lots of family and friends to play with.
As we were piling into our truck to go home, the wind started blowing and little hail pellets poured out of the sky. We quickly got into our seats and buckled our seatbelts. We could see that the sky was clear toward our home, so we wanted to start heading that direction.
The storm seemed to gather right above us - dark clouds with lightning flashing.
When, at last, we were on the other side of the storm, Ike commented:
"Mom, look at the beautiful sunset in front of us."
I looked and, right in front of us, was the prettiest sunset I have seen in a long time.
"Isn't it like our lives, Momma?", he said. "We start out dark sinners, like the storm, then go on and move into the light with Jesus."
Thank you, Jesus, that my kids know You.

Obviously the dinosaur was way more interesting than getting their photo taken *again*.)

Before I was a Mom
My aunt sent me this sweet poem:
Before I was a Mom
Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,
the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
Thank you, Auntie Karen, for reminding me of what I was missing...before I was a Mom.
The kids have been asking and asking to go to Daytona Beach - not because they think that Florida would make a wonderful vacation spot, but because the commercial on TV promises that "it's more than a beach". One evening last week we were, once again, talking about how great it would be to go to Daytona Beach. I said that maybe we would be able to go sometime, when the little ones are a bit bigger.
Gabryel, in his sweet little guy voice, told me, "You better work on your stomach".
He's going to make a great husband one day.

Ahh... Spring... At Last!!
We had a rare moment in Minnesota yesterday -- a beautiful Spring day!
Abbie, feeling excited about the gorgeous weather, asked if she could take pictures.
Here is "Spring", as seen through the eyes of Abbie:
(self portrait)
(The leaves will appear soon!)
(Daddy's truck)
(Mommy's truck)
(Daddy wants to play baseball.)
(So does Ike! He better tie his shoe first, though.)
(Gabe tied his shoe.)
(Run Ike!!)
(Crazy Gabe.)
(Kai isn't in the photo-taking mood. Thanks, Gabe, for holding him.)
(Chloie doesn't want her picture taken, either...she just wants to go four wheeling.)
(Phoebie feels like a frisbee mud pie.)
(It was warm enough for Momma to take Ayden out! *Where'd his socks go?*)
(Awww... Baby Ayden.)
We had a fabulous day!!

Winter Wonderland?
It was pretty tough to get out from the snuggly warmth of my blankets this morning.
Here is the view from my back porch:
More and more, I have been asking my husband why we stay here in Minnesota. He is from Alaska, where it is usually WARMER than it is here. And -- big bonus! -- they pay each resident $1000 per year for just living in Alaska! That would be $9000 EXTRA for our family each year. I can think of plenty of uses for an extra $9000 - can't you?
....what are we doing here??!!

It's a New World!!
My kids have found a new world outside of our world!
WEBKINZ WORLD.
$12.99 for a pet, one year of online fun.
At Webkinz World you can create a room for your pet, get him a job, go to the mall, and even take classes.
I must admit that I have enjoyed the kids' new home away from home. I quickly learned that it's a good thing I didn't choose to be a newspaper carrier - I can't do it fast enough to keep the job! I also learned that I don't love rainbow bedrooms or fuzzy slippers.
I wonder.... How many other homeschooling families caught the Webkinz Craze?!
