The Sickies

Had another pretty good weekend, which was a pleasant surprise since Laney was a bit under the weather. On Saturday we had a play date with a family who lives here and has a three year old and a one year old. They knew of  a cool park, where everything works and was so nice. The kids loved it. We enjoyed lunch and ice cream in the food court across the street. Laney was getting a little tired and bored and then made friends with a couple of girls. They had a doll that she sees on tv and loves. I heard them talking to her in Spanish and not sure if Laney responded or not. Either way she had fun. She seems to make friends easily and it is fun to watch.

Sunday we went to church and joined a womenś bible study. I decided I needed that and enjoyed it immensely. The kids seemed to have fun in Sunday School and we let Jason go to service by himself. It was nice meeting some women. I sat next to someone from The Congo and she was talking about all the war and the elections coming up. I cannot imagine how horrific that would be to see so much violence. Her faith was inspiring. There were also two Costa Rican ladies in my group who teach English. They were sweet with their words of encouragement in learning a language. After church we headed over to Gol to watch a little futbal norte americano. We were so hungry we went during the first half of the Lions game. I guess we should have waited and gone later so we could have seen the great come back. The game was kind of boring and the kids cannot stay their that long that we left. Granted we do bring toys and paper to lengthen our stay but it is not enough for a whole game. Still glad they won even though I did not believe they would. SO many years of them losing has taken its toll on my belief in them. I am still a fan and am excited for their win. Cannot wait for Monday night!! Win number 5?

The week did not go as well as the weeekend. Laney ended up getting sick. She was on the border for awhile and just could not get over it. Lots of coughing, a horrible night, and a couple of missed days of school later and she is on the road to recovery. Good thing Jason and I got two for one on our classes on Tuesday and Thursday because one of us seems to not be able to go a lot. Creed has a little bit of cold, but made it to school today. We shall see how he fares. Laney was happy to go back today to school. We could not decide yesterday if she should go or stay and when I asked her if she wanted to go she said no. So she stayed home. I know the same question will not be asked of Creed. He has been coughing, before he had the sniffles, in an attempt to stay home. Laney does not like missing school so we figured she must not be well enough to go. It cracks me up how different they are from each other. Hoping school does not wear Creed out too much and hope I get better quickly. I sent Jason off to class since I got what Laney had. It is no fun having the sickies in the house. Jason is not a hundred percent either so here is hoping for a quick recovery and another great weekend.
