Women of Faith!

Logan and I have spent this week playing outside, taking walks with the Sisk boys, and mostly being totally attached. Last Friday, I spent two days in St. Louis with a group of women from the church. After shopping at The Mills for the newest Sisk, baby girl, Violet Grace, we checked into the Sheriton in Downtown. We had a great dinner and then went to the first session of Women of Faith. For those of you who don't know ( I surely didn't) Women of Faith is a conference that travels around the country spreading the joy of Christ through music, drama, and comedy. After spending Friday night enjoying the music of Nicole C. Mullen and, my favorite, Natalie Grant, we went back to the hotel and spent the rest of the night soaking our feet and spending some much needed "girl" time charging up for when we returned home. Saturday, was another great day of emotional roller coaster riding. The conference was absolutely fantastic! After ending too soon, we went to Illinois twice trying to get home. So much for the GPS! We did get to see the engorged Mississippi River covering the parking garage and steps of the Arch. Finally, we got back to our families just in time for Father's Day. As I crept into see Logan, I stopped at the door to listen to him breathe, but he was really breathing hard and was drawing his legs in. Terrified, I scooped him up and he promptly vomited all over me. Welcome home, Mommy! We spent another hour calming him back down and cleaning him up. He got up early the next day and refused to eat or let us touch his mouth. The poor little guy is getting tooth #8. He spent all of Father's Day curled up with me or Jason. Early Monday morning, he woke up around 1:30 with no fever! He then asked me for juice, so I took him to the kitchen and he ate for the first time since Saturday night. He has been really clingy all week, and the little tooth still hasn't broken all the way through. We have spent a lot of time together this week. I wish he would eat at good as before, but I have been assured that he won't starve.


New discoveries this week: Baby Violet, saying and signing please, carrying toys while walking (especially the ones that are way too big for him to carry), and the buttons on the answering machine. I will leave you with a couple of photos from the last week of school and one from this week!
