Lexie's Fine Art Festival

Lexie's class went to the fine arts festival in Hickory, NC Friday. She has been learning a poem for months to recite. Only the 3rd-5th grade participates, so John William had the day off of school. I took Sophie and John William to watch Lexie. Sophie was tired and fussy. She wanted to play on the school's playground, but it was off limits. Three year olds don't understand off limits. They also have a hard time being quiet, but that's not really a suprise. We got there just in time for Lexie's group to recite poems. Lex was so nervous, but she did such an awesome job! I was so proud of her. After she was done, Sophie had a no nap breakdown. John William and I put her in the car and drove around for a few minutes until she fell asleep. Then I carried her into the church so we could watch Lexie's class sing. They did a great job!
Lexie is feeling better. I took her to see the ped. Thursday and she was still having breathing problems. Dr. Marshall put her on antibiotics, breathing treatments 4 times a day and told us we needed an epi pen at school and home for future emergencies. This is the second time her throat has closed up and she's had trouble breathing. Hopefully now that we have the epi pen, Murpheys Law will kick in and it will never happen again. God has been so good to us. Our kids are healthy and safe and you can just see that His hands are on them, protecting them.
Ben is out of town for his annual fishing trip with friends. We really miss him! He discovered when he left on Thursday that none of their phones work where they are. They had to treck to a pay phone and call collect yesterday to let the wives know they were still alive. He'll be home tomorrow. Hopefully with fish to grill :).
