who says I'm sick?

Fever: still there

Diagnosis: just a virus.....fever lasts for 4-5 days

We escaped the throw-up bug with this one so we're all happy about that!

victim #2

Fever: 103

Vomiting: not yet, but I suspect it will be a long night :(

the invalid

Well, the stomach virus has officially hit our home. Why is it that every time Will throws up it's in the car and all over his car-seat? Yuck. Let's hope Annely Blake doesn't contract it. She looks pretty good here...

Please pray for us if you remember! Having sick kids is never any fun :(

long week-end

Matt had Monday off, which meant a long, relaxing week-end for all of us. The weather was beautiful, affording us plenty of opportunities for outside play..... the next-door neighbors came over and helped push....

and Annely Blake is now feeding herself the bottle (which spells f-r-e-e-d-o-m for me!!)

and we're working on the pincer grasp and self-feeding.....a work in progress as the gag reflex is still strong and she's a little pickier than Will was at this age. As I've said before.... it's hard following after the easiest baby that ever lived :)

when all else fails, bananas and cheerios seem to go down without any trouble :)

Will's Birthday Party with Friends

Will's actual birthday, (monday), was pretty uneventful. We had a few of his friends over that morning for play and cupcakes. The rest of the day went down-hill after that, though. He was rotten, I was rotten, it was not a pretty sight. I was glad when the day was over and he was in bed!

He's enjoying his cupcake as you can see here.... Lulie

I didn't forget about our second child~

wow...didn't take her long to figure this out after mastering the crawl!

Will's Birthday Dinner

We celebrated Will's 3rd today (his actual b-day is 2/11) with Poppy and KK, aunt May May and the rest of our family with a dinner made just for him. Hamburgers, fries, chocolate cake with tons of m&m's and ice cream. All of Will's favorites! We can't believe he's a big three year old now...... time really has flown by.

Happy Birthday Buddy! We love you!

Finally!

We have a crawler! (I think she's been able to do this for a while but would rather be held and moved around by someone else :)

9 1/2 months...

going for the phone just like big brother Will did at this age

Happy Birthday Matt! (#29)

As you can see, trying to get both kids to cooperate for the picture wasn't easy....

We love you!!!
