Dance party at Amber's...in pic: Amber, Audrey, Ella, Madison, and Christi..let it be known that was not me!It has been forever it seems since I have posted on my blog. I look at it and others often, but just haven't had the chance to sit down and do anything..so today I am. Not much has been going on at the Bourne house. We are back into full swing with school. Ella is trying to learn her numbers and write them up to 100, which has seemed to be a challenge for her. (No surprise, though, she doesn't have genetics on her side--at least, not from her parents--when it comes to Math). Not a subject Rob or I enjoy. Austin is doing well. Baseball will start soon...so our weekends will soon be filled with tournaments and practices. But, it gives us all something to do, so we seem to enjoy it. The past two weekends, we have had the opportunity to visit with Amber, Grant, Madison and Audrey. Ella has been in hog heaven playing with girls.. Most days, you can find her out back with Austin playing Army. Monday, on their day off, she came in crying, because Austin was going to make her carry a gun, or she couldn't play with him. She said that would be too heavy to carry...so they compromised, and he allowed her to carry a stick gun. Which believe me he didn't like, but tolerated! Anyways...Ella and I went to Mandeville one weekend, with my dear friend, Christi. Then, last weekend The Pittman family came here so Amber and I could go out and celebrate Christi's b/d. And, this weekend, we are going back to Mandeville for Madison's b/d. One other exciting thing that has happened..is on Jan 19, ELLA TURNED 5 1/2. She is so anxious to "catch up" with Madison, which she never will..Madison will always be older..But, she asked me Monday night, when she would be 5 1/2..something she has asked alot lately..and I realized that indeed, she was on that day 5 1/2. She was so excited. Pumping her fists..like "WOO_HOO" she had finally made it. This week she seems taller..she can now wear different things, that on Sunday were too big, but now she fits in, etc. So all in all it has been a good week.
One side note... I got a call from school yesterday about Austin. His teacher said he felt his heart racing and dizzy, nervous, etc. and he had a low grade temp. This has occured a couple of other times over the last couple of weeks..so I took him to see the pediatrician. His heart rate had slowed down, of course, by the time he saw him, but he ran a few other tests.. one of which is a tsh (thyroid blood test), because some of his symptoms were consistent with a thyroid problem. We are waiting on those results..hopefully today. So, if you have a chance to say a prayer for him, please do. I am hopeful that everything will be okay. But, it does cause some concern.
