The end of last year and the first couple weeks of this year have been very stressful for our family. We have been going through trials with other family members that are trying to tear us apart. I feel as though we have been tried by fire! But we have come out on the other side stronger and more diligent than ever. We have learned a lot from this trial but we have lost a lot too.
Lanie has had a 5 day weekend this week. She was out of school on Thursday because of family issues and then school was closed on Friday for Teacher development day and today because of MLK day. She is rather spoiled with this time off because she got to sleep downstairs from Wednesday night to last night. We won't let her sleep in the living room on school nights because she tends to stay up much later when she sleeps on the couch. When I left the house at 6:30 this morning she was snoring away on the couch with her arms wrapped around Charlie Brown.
This weekend I was rather lazy, did not do much at all except make Lanie a really pretty dress. I will get a picture of it and post it. I have some hand work yet to do on it though. She was very excited. The pattern was one that I used on my neice Haley when she was living with me when she was 8 years old. The pattern fits Lanie perfectly (with a tad bit of room to grow) and she is only 6. Now, I have to say that Haley was and is very small! Lanie is about average for her age group.
We took Lanie to Quest Diagnostics last weekend for a lead test. We have had some issues with high lead from the old house. Her lead levels have been up t 12.8 but after the test last week it is down to 8. It should not be over 6 so it is still a little high but much better than it used to be. We still need to have it checked every 3 months or so though.
This is about it for our household right now. Just trying to get life back to normal and breathe a sigh of releif for a little bit of time...until the round!
