mm mm good

Cody just keeps getting more and more fun. He was drinking from his sippy cup the other day and he slams it down and does an exaggerated sigh. It made me laugh pretty hard so he did it again. I told Brian about it and he thought it was great. Apparently Brian was doing that with his own drink and obviously Cody was watching and picked it up. He has also started saying, "num NUM num!" and I thinks it's because we always say "yum yum yum!" He noticed my stomach yesterday when he pulled my shirt up a little to see it. I slapped it a couple times as it's bigger than it was pre-Cody so he decided to slap it. He'd crawl away then come back, lift my shirt, and slap my stomach a few times while looking at my face to see if I would laugh. I hope he does that to Brian when he gets back from hunting. It's fun to see him learn new things and grow stronger, even though he doesn't even stand alone yet. That's ok. He was a late crawler too. Cody, not Brian. I just noticed my arms are really hairy. maybe I should shave or nair them or something...

Kim and Justin Ford

There's been a lot going on with the Allred family. Kim's husband lost all the feeling in his legs and has been in the hospital for about 10 days now. It's been pretty scary. They didn't know what it was until about 2 days ago they decided it was this virus that attacks the cells in the spinal cord. It has been really hard on the family but they are staying positive. Kim usually watches her sisters kids during the week but with her husband in the hospital, she hasn't even been home since this happened. She's been sleeping in the hospital so her husband isn't alone and has been sending her own kids to various family members. I took her sisters twins last week and they are coming again this week. They just turned 8 yesterday. They are good kids and Cody loves having them around. It's been keeping me busy while Brian is away on the bow hunt. He hit a 3 point last night and decided to finish tracking it this morning. At least this way he won't be going on the rifle hunt or the muzzle loader hunt. Just one more hunt with his boss in Wyoming or something. They are allowed to hunt bears and other scary animals. I don't want him to go on that one! Maybe if it were with a rifle I'd feel a tiny bit better, but a bow and arrow? oh well. He's really excited about it.
Hm. Kinda went off track there. So anyway, if you could pray for Brian's sister Kim and her husband Justin it would be much appreciated. The good news is that he should most likely walk again. Someday. It could take 6 months to 2 years to be able to, so basically they don't have a lot of answers. Well there's an update for ya.
