Itchy but good

M&M's spots have faded quite a bit, and are less itchy. It looks like it's not chicken pox or anything like that . . . just some insect that bit her. 54 times. Yes, we counted them. Fifty-four. It looks like it dropped down inside her shirt at the back of the neck and was stuck in her clothes for a while before coming out at the leg, biting all the way. Poor M&M. Just thinking about it makes me itch.

We all slept really well last night . . . something I know at least one friend was praying specifically for yesterday evening. We had to cancel going to the church because of M&M's spots, but the elders prayed for us during their meeting last night even though we weren't there. We'll plan to go in and have them pray with us soon.

Baby E is in a great mood and had a totally normal BM this morning. She and I are coming down with colds, but otherwise everyone seems to be feeling pretty good. The kids enjoyed having oatmeal and bananas for breakfast. We've done math and Bible so far this morning, and now we're taking a break.

I'm encouraged with how well school is going so far. It's shaping up to be a good year.
