Busy Times!

The Barber's are busy!!  My brain is thinking only in bullets these days, so please excuse another list of highlights:

**Jacoby had a great follow-up appointment with our team at Children's Hospital.  They're so impressed with how well he's doing.  They've dropped the dosage on one of his medications, and we're going to have him retested for chicken, turkey, and fish--his levels have dropped and we may get to add these back into our diet.  I've literally dreamed of chickens this past week!

**Morgan is doing a baseball unit in his class, so he's often heard singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and really enjoys playing tee-ball with his friends.  We sponsored the making of cracker jacks last week (i.e., we brought all of the ingredients and the popcorn maker for the class) and they had a great time.

**We enjoyed a day up at Rocky Mountain National Park last weekend.  We visited the site of a huge flood and learned all about the alluvial fan (your geography term for the day).  It was nice to get up to the mountains.

**I held my first garage sale and it totally exceeded my expectations!  I sold most of our baby/little kid stuff and met a lot of nice people. I've since been going through the house systematically cleaning and sorting.  The thrift store picks up a huge load this week. 

**Jacoby and I went to "Pirate Captain and the Band of Misfits" for some Mommy-Boy time.  It was a great show and nice to hang out with my favorite 5-year old.

**Justin and I went and looked at houses with a realtor today.  It was exciting, educational, and exhausting.  We're still deep in thought and conversation about next steps with our housing.  And we basically change our minds each day.  (:

**My board meeting is two weeks from today, so I'm super busy at work.  I'll be so glad when it's wrapped up so I can dedicate more time and thought to the above mentioned housing issue.

**Teacher Appreciation is this week so the boys and I treated the Pre-K teachers to morning coffee today.  I think the hustle and bustle of a busy Starbucks in the morning was an eye-opener to the boys.  (:

**Quote of the week after Earth Day activities at school:  "I love the Earf because the Earf is my home and I come from the Earf".  ~Morgan Ethan, 3 yrs
