New to the Blog World

I am going to try rally hard to start "blogging" for my own satisfaction...certainly not to entertain others.  I need to be better about keeping track of what happens in our kids lives day to day...the good and the bad.  The highlights of the past 2 weeks include Maggie having a severe immune response to either a random virus or an antibiotic...which left her covered in a rash that was reddish purple.  Her feet, hands, legs and joints were so swollen that she couldn't walk for 3 days.  I was scared to death.  She was apparently in a lot of pain, but they don't give anything to help with that except Tylenol or Motrin.  It took about 5 days for her to look normal again and I breathed a sigh of relief.  If I can figure out how, I will post pictures to remember this!  The other incident of late was Judd falling out of the bed at 1:30am last Tuesday night.  He sliced his eye open and apparently got his cheek pinned under his bed because his left cheek was really bruised too.  No stitches needed, but I am insisting on using the bedrail again.  He doesn't want to, but I didn't like the whole episode at 1:30am either!  He is also sleeping without a pull up the past 4 nights!  He is doing AWESOME!  No accidents (yet)...
Our weekend has been good too.  Ben is trying to implement a new discipline routine that his mom told him about...seems to be working, but the real test will be tomorrow when I am home with them alone.  Judd never responds to me the same way he does to Ben.  WE shall see.
