Our Cup Runneth Over

Last week Saturday I was diagnosed with Lyme's disease. Within hours of starting the antibiotics I entered into a state of delirious h@@@. I was cognitive enough to meet the girls needs, but mainly I was laid out flat with a TREMENDOUS headache along with the chills and fevers. It wasn't until I broke the fever by wrapping myself in blankets and sweatshirts, 6 hours later, that I started feeling better. The whole time the girls played along side of me. I was MORE than impressed and gained a lot more appreciation for my two daughters for how understanding they were. Each day over this past week I have gained my strength back and all is back to normal again. WHEW!!! Let's just say Lyme's' disease sucks!!!! and BIG Thank you to my friend W for taking the girls for a few hours on Sunday so that I can rest. It is always nice to know one has friends that can be counted on in a pinch.

I included a few photos from our past week.


The five baby Phoebe's last week in their nest before fledgling during mid-week. I am always surprised that the nest holds them as long as it does.


The girls working and playing together..very cute to watch
