I missed my Simple Woman’s Daybook again this week, much to my chagrin, but I spent the better part of the day sick in bed – headache, sore throat, cough, congestion, and, from the chills and sweats I had, most likely a fever.

Anyway, you all don’t want to hear about that. I have so much on my heart and mind, but I can’t share any of it publicly. If you would, please say a prayer for our family.

Jonalyn starts therapy this afternoon. Our life will be crazy for the next month, but I think if we all pitch in we can survive this season. It is so important to get her legs straightened out.

I’ll have some pictures to share one of these days, but we went to the Museum of Sci*nce and Industry in Chicago on Friday. Brian wasn’t happy about having to get up early on a day off, but we ended up having a very nice time. Alyssa especially enjoyed the exhibits and the hands-on things they had for her to do. Even Jonalyn got into the act, though she didn’t understand what she was doing or why. She loved the big train and the airplane hanging from the ceiling. We also got to try out her large size stroller – it worked great! It folds and unfolds just like an umbrella stroller, but it’s much sturdier. It’s also a breeze to push, which Alyssa did most of the day.

And that’s about all the rambling I’ll do for today.
