Happy Birthday to the only girl baby in the Prince family, Lucia Prince! She was 1 yesterday. We wish we could have been at the birthday party.

This morning has been a bit hectic for me as I lugged the kids to the Dr. for Ezekiel, then to 2 pharmacies to get his prescription filled. Seems that the cold Gavin gave him turned into RSV. He is on breathing treatments around the clock and hopefully will be breathing easier soon. He is acting fine - just has a nasty cough and is wheezing...poor baby...please keep him in your prayers as he heals. Thanks!!

Today I am thankful:

1) That a company that works through my pediatricians office offers nebulizers for free(insurance covers a small amount) so I don't have to worry about returning it.

2) The breathing treatment given at the Dr's office cleared his wheezing up so much they felt comfortable just sending him home on breathing treatments. Babies with severe cases of RSV are in the hospital!

3) That Gavin still naps. Yesterday he didn't and man, did I miss that time!

4) Last night Jason finished Gavin's bath and got him ready for bed so I could get Ez to sleep (its been sort of hard because he has to sleep upright - he's not used to the swing, and when he cant' breathe out of his nose he can't suck his pacifier...) then get all of our laundry put away

5) The coffee we got from Pura Vida - if you are looking for Organic, Shade Grown, Fair trade coffee this is where to get it. It is great (hawaiian hazelnut this morning) and it supports the poor in countries where coffee is grown. The website is: www.puravidacoffee.com
Also on a sidenote: There are more chemicals and pesticides used in coffee than any other thing humans consume!!

6) My message from Natalie last night, even though I didn't have a chance to call her back

7) The cinnamon dolce lattes at Starbucks (have I already said this??) - I splurged yesterday and got one and wow was it good...(and w/nonfat milk, a grande is only 5 points...those of you who are Weight Watchers savvy...)

8) My vacuum - Gotta love the Rainbow.

9) Finding more clothes for Ez in storage - since he has grown out of all 0-3 month clothes

10) God giving me patience when I don't have any left
