Keeping Busy!

Sorry for the lack of posts! I really have gotten behind on keeping everyone updated. Since my last post we have been trying to get well. All three of us have been sick with some viral mess, which just had to run it's course. We are finally starting to get over it completely...I think! I thought we were over it and then it seemed to come back stronger than the first time. Hopefully it's gone for good this time though. Angel is still struggling with some congestion, but I'm starting to think that might be partly allergies (taking after her daddy).

We were suppose to go to the mountains this past week for Jonathan's grandmother's 90th birthday, but due to being sick we decided that wasn't a good idea. So we ended up staying home. We stayed busy here, working on the photography business.

We are still struggling through my new diet. We spent two hours walking through the grocery store reading labels the other night, with much discouragement. We found that there isn't a lot of stuff I am able to eat. It's going to be a huge challenge, but we will manage.

We had an unfortunate thing happen at our house this week as well. One of our birds passed away. We are unsure why she died...it's hard to tell with a bird cause they don't act sick until they are ready to die. We are all a little depressed about the death of the bird. The other parrot we have hasn't said a word since she died, it's the grieving process I guess.

On a good note, Jonathan celebrated his birthday on the 24th. We actually celebrated with his family on Sunday, Sept 23. We had a good time. His sister Hannah had a soccer game, then we went out to eat, and then back to his parent's house to visit for a while. It's always nice spending time with family. We are looking forward to spending two weeks with my side of the family here in a few more weeks. We always look forward to our trips to KS, they are few and far between...which makes them even more special to us. This one will be very special cause it will be the first time everyone gets to see Angel since right after she was born.
