February already

It's hard to believe it's February! Especially as every day is a sunny 25 degrees at least!

Ethan has conjunctivitis. It flared up really suddenly on Wednesday. I've got the antibiotic eye drops but getting them into his eyes is a bit of a mission. 4 times a day I'm having to swaddle him in a bath towel. I've got to keep doing it for 2 days after it clears up as well! Other than that he is fine. He had a major tantie yesterday when we went past not one, but two kids' rides in the mall. He goes nuts when he sees the little cars. We didn't stop at either so he screamed for a good ten minutes while I bought what I needed then we stopped at them on the way back. the only way to get him to want to leave them is to pay the $2 to make them go. That's too much for him and scares him into wanting to get down.

We finally have a new digital camera - thanks for the Christmas sterling Dad! I should be able to post some more interesting photos now.

Last night we had our first House Group Leaders' Meeting at West. We will probably start next week or the week after. I have volunteered to put together a resources folder for the leaders for those nights when we haven't had time to prepare anything. Any suggestions as to good websites for bible studies or other fun stuff?

I think it is going to be an exciting year in our Church. We seem to have got to the point where we have a lot of non-Christians coming. Mark was emphasising to us that we can't presume that the new people we meet have been to Church before never mind presuming that they are Christians.
