We're still here...


I know, I know...it's been weeks since we posted anything on here. For those of you that we've talked to recently, you already know why that is. For everyone else, here's a brief rundown. These past few weeks have been a terribly trying time for the Lewis family. We thank God that there have been no major tragedies to deal with, but we have been faced with what seems like countless "bumps in the road" that have kept us busy, weary and in debt to the medical community (both in gratitude and in finances)! We have had several trips to the ER (Abigail made her first trip the night before her 3rd birthday party), but Jack started much earlier and has already outnumbered his sister's visits! We have battled severe croup, fevers of 105 degrees, gaping facial wounds, and various other illnesses and conditions. Josh has struggled with decisions related to his career, and I have struggled with the seemingly 50-pound "basketball" that is my tummy and the intense bouts of insomnia that have accompanied it. We have prayed diligently for healing, protection, and rest, and I am thrilled to say that things seem to be taking a turn in the right direction. Today is the first day in weeks and weeks (literally!) that every member of our family is healthy and rested. What a blessing! Because I am so far behind on updating the blog, I'm going to do one big "picture-fest" of some of the happy events that have been going on recently. I hope you enjoy!
