each morning i've been doing a chick check. well, owen is our new winner. he's been tolerating a whole bunch of spots under his clothes without any complaints. just after my post yesterday, he voiced his first uncomfort. i looked him over and was amazed. i thought leannora was covered, but owen surely had her beat. so now on day 4, we've used up 1/2 of our container of calamine lotion. the children have not wanted the pink stuff on their faces, so we've used coconut oil on the visible areas. i have no idea what that'll do, but they smell really good! able and nikao are still clear of any signs. and shiloh has been wonderful. the poor dear has been couped up in our room with visits from mommy and daddy fairly regular, but she is tired of being on the bed by her lonesome.
last night mark let me go out with some ladies to a pampered chef party. i'm not really a fan of parties selling products at all, but the girls that were going and the host are dear friends and i didn't want to miss out on an opportunity of sweet fellowship. shiloh loved the momma and lady attention. but we did not love that i accidently ate an extremely HOT pepper. it was little and purple and dried i think. i actually thought it was a funny bean in the chinese stir fry that we made. while i was changing shiloh's diaper i missed the warning not to eat those seasoning accents to the meal. whoa! was that a surprize! my ears turned red and i cried and everything. thankfully, a friend rescued me with some milk. mostly i felt so stupid and concerned for how my nursing baby would handle the thing. (she was fine. she slept well, but was letting wind all night in her sleep!)
when i returned home, i found mark and hogan and owen watching star wars together. this was the first time the boys had watched the movie. it was a really special time. they watched the first half last night and finished it during quiet time today. and leannora got to join in the fun this afternoon! we've had some fun conversations! i'll be interested to see how their immaginative play changes. hmmm . . . cowboy spys in space!?!
we had some more visitors this evening. though no one trying to catch the chicken pox. our friends the robertstad family joined us for prayer and dessert. we've been regularly meeting with them for about the last year to seek the Lord together about all sorts of things. one of them being the possibility of home church. actually, we've begun somewhat officially meeting on sat. evenings after Easter. so we've been opening our homes to sing, share, pray, and practice one anothering each other with a variety of families. it has been such an awesome experience waiting on the Holy Spirit's leading in such a new way. God has been putting unity and pressing community on our hearts. and there is so much more i'd love to say, but this post was supposed to be about chicken pox. :)
