Hello to the fine folks who enjoy keeping up with the Harris's! Much different than the infamous "Jones's", the Harris's should not be the standard we aspire to meet! 
Well, Princess Addelyn met with the Pediatric surgeon last Friday. She will be having surgery to repair her inguinal hernia on February 9 at about 7am. He will close off the hernia on the left then check the right side for the same anomaly and repair it if needed. 
Meanwhile, Logan is turning four years old this weekend. As most of you know, his birthday is on Sunday, January 25. He was born at 3:56 pm. I pushed for 2.5 hours on that day. He came out with a cone head and screaming! I can't believe it's been four years since that day. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember the look on Will's face and the words he spoke..."look at him, Babe. Look at him"!!! Enough reflecting....on to the fun stuff!!! He is having a birthday party Sunday! Logan's friend Sam (who is ALMOST as cute as Logan) came to visit today and we went to buy party favors. Logan had decided that he wanted a Spiderman party. That is, until he saw the Diego stuff, the fireman stuff, and of course...the John Deere stuff! We finally decided on good ol' John Deere! What Logan doesn't know is that our friends Tim and Melissa are going to bring a giant inflatable to his party!! Logan is going to be so excited! 
I continue my many woe's of searching for the perfect career! I love having a flexible schedule. I also want to work as a practitioner and bring home a nice paycheck. Luckily, in my field, I can have the best of both worlds. However, finding the job that gives me exactly what I need has been a task that has proven unsuccessful thus far. I found a job posting at St Vincent's for a NP in a clinical setting, 20 hours a week...flexible hours! Of course I applied! I love to think that God has divinely put this job posting in my sight but I don't know! I am not getting the hours I was promised in Alex City, and if you read my previous post about how God was trying to show me that in order to use me he would put me in "toxic environments", you would see why I'm not trying to understand God right now! All I can do is walk with Him and trust. 
On a lighter note, I had my very first tennis match last Saturday. If you have forgotten so quickly that it was like 2 degrees on Saturday, allow me to remind you....IT WAS FREEZING. This is not an ideal setting for my first tennis match. I'm not making excuses or anything but the two girls we were playing had a little bit more insulation than Leah and I!!! I am claiming cold as our out this time! We would never have been stomped like that if it had been 70 degrees...or even 60 for that matter! So tomorrow we will meet back at the courts and practice our serves...which will make or break a tennis match! If you know anything about me, you know how competitive I am and how mortified I was to come home to my husband...who ran a half-marathon in 20 degree weather in 1 hour and 45 minutes that morning...and tell him that we got smoked! He, however, enjoyed the moment! [snarl....]
Hopefully, I will see all of you this weekend. If not, we will certainly have birthday pix to share with you!!
