Barb has transferred everything over and our life right now doesn't consist of much more. Mike is very busy. We've had three 30 second conversations since he left. One of which was to straighten out some paperwork for our housing. We finally have the Dr's letter and I went to turn everything in and the day before they had changed the policy and now they need the Regimental Cmndr.'s signature instead of the Battalion's. So annoying. It shouldn't be a problem though, just another delay.

Every day is a crap shoot. Every hour for that matter, but today was a good day. I met a couple of my friends at Mega Play, an indoor playground with trampolines, huge slides, a toddler play area with a ball pit, tons of trikes and go cart type bikes, etc... The kids played from 1-6:30. Even Ellyn got independent enough to go running all over the place and while that gave me less rest it was fun to watch her figure out how to climb and slide and jump and wade through the ball pit. The older girls each took a turn with her but most of the time they were running around like wild women, red cheeked, and sweaty, stopping in occasionally for a drink or asking for money for ice cream. Such a relief to get the kids out to play. I vacuumed the house this morning and that was a huge relief too.

I was going to leave these as comments but I might as well put it on right here. Adina, thanks for the dietary info. It confirmed what I've been trying to do. She won't do legumes unless I hide them in burritos. But we do peanut butter and yogurt and cheese and all that good stuff and sometimes she'll eat sweet potatoes.

Barb, as far as family fasts, I would really love that. I have thought about asking before but haven't yet. If everyone would be willing to fast as a family on a periodic basis it would really
be wonderful. I tried to look up the article but they don't have March articles on line yet. I just renewed our subscription so I don't know if we'll get it in time but we will keep looking on line. We would love to have our little Ellie speak and so often she seems right on the cusp. I think family fasting would help a great deal.

Well I am off to put my little babes to bed. I love you all. Love, Brooke
