My First Blog Entry

Greetings, friends and family! Welcome to my blog. My faithfulness in sending out The Lawson Gazette has been lackluster, at best, so I've decided to start this blog to keep you all up to date on the happenings here on the Lawson homefront.

We've been doing well. Eli has been recovering quite well since his night in the hospital. I took him with me to the Upward game today and one mom commented that he still sounded "horrible." If only she could have heard him breath a week ago!

We went to the Valentine's Day banquet at church last night and had a blast. We got to sit with the Cochran's (Kate's parents...Kate is Eli's girlfriend...actually Kate's dad is our children's minister and the four of us parents have arranged Kate and Eli's wedding...they're only 2 weeks apart in age) and with the Ralston's (they're a really great couple from church). We had a super good dinner and then had a Christian comedian Paul Aldrich, or something like that. He was really good. Eli was Mr. Wildman when we picked him up from the nursery- he crawled over every square inch of the church while Tim was picking up chairs, etc, and when we got home, the tops of his socks and the knees of his pants were FILTHY! But, he had fun, so it was okay.

My Grandparents came yesterday and took us out to breakfast while on their way to see my brother Nathan and his wife Staci in Springfield, MO. We really enjoyed the time with them. My Grandma made Eli a Teepee for his birthday and he loves it! I'll take a picture and post it here on the blog soon.

My business is doing well. A lady named Kim found me on the internet and has asked me to sew many many things for her up and coming business. I'll write more about that later.

That's about all for now. When you're praying please continue to lift up our family as Eli kicks the last of his sickness and as I battle bronchitis and a sinus infection (would my name still be Gwen if I didn't get that combo at least 5 times a year?).

Tim keeps saying, "Eli, stop it!" so I should go rescue Eli before he takes a trip down spankin' alley.

In Christ,

Gwenny<><
