3 things

1) Levi is teething. It's pretty much awful. We got about 3 hours of sleep last night. He's exhausted, but his poor little mouth is really hurting him. We froze all his little teething toys, we put ice in a little mesh feeder, we gave him tylenol, oragel. Any other tips?

2) Today is the start of the fair. I can not begin to tell you how excited about this I am. I can't wait to go. There will certainly be a post about our swiss chard this week. I fully intend on taking our camera and taking notes. :)

3) This is also the beginning of a crazy week. We are again in charge of decorating the stage for vacation bible school. we have been planning and plotting for months. This is the week to transform a regular ol sanctuary into a southern louisiana bayou. we've got a shack 12 ft. wide, by 9 ft tall that we built. We are currently building 20ft. trees. We have a boat, fishing stuff, several docks, and about a zillion other things that all have to come together this week. All while Levi cuts his first tooth.

Please pray for us that we will be able to get this stuff done this week, that it would be a great place for kids to learn more about the God we serve. That the space would invite them to a better understanding of Christ. It seems silly, but it's a job we all take very seriously. Would you pray with us that our work helps to further the Kingdom of God? Vacation Bible School starts a week from today.

And on that note, my poor little guy is awake and crying. pray for that as well.

oh mama, we are right there with you. I think Elliot was up ever two hours last night. Every two hours! The kid is 9 months old! And have a blast at the fair! Hope your swiss chard wins! Can't wait to hear all about it.

I second the Hyland's Teething Tablets. Motrin worked better for the teething pain for us than Tylenol did, too - and Levi can hacve it now that he is 6 mos old.
