Spring Break

Another Spring Break has come and gone at the Bye household. Jordan and I worked 2 days last week, not really his choice but that's life. The rest of our week was spent with the kids playing out in the snow, field-trips: to the zoo, Focus on the Family, and the Olympic Training Center.

Friday night we had our small group over for a spaghetti dinner and a movie night. We downloaded The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock. It was one of those feel good movies that I just love. It's so nice to see positive stories about people (these people also happened to be Christians) who made a difference in their own small corner of the world. The kindness of this family made a big difference in the life of Michael Oher. You never can tell what the ripple effects will be from your small acts of ordinary kindness and compassion.

Updates on some of the other stuff: There's no news on Mark's work situation, we are just waiting to see what our next steps should be. Jordan has been kind of a behavioral mess this week with 3 pretty good weather fronts coming through. He is also still really gassy, the second type of enzymes the naturalist is trying us on don't seem to be working. We may go back to round one or go back to our old tried and true. I think part of Jordan's digestive issues (the gas) is due to the fact he doesn't chew things like rice, he swallows it whole. I want to try an experiment where we give him mostly raw veggies instead of rice and see how he does. At least with veggies, some amount of chewing is necessary.

Yeah us to. We wait for movies to come out at the redbox instead of spending $25 at the movies.
