Lookin up

The past few days have been rough. Weve been a sicky house. The kids have been sick, Justus with an ear infection and nasty cough and Haven getting over her rash and nasty cough. Yesterday I was in bed all day. Ugh!! Awful. How I hate that.

But I have to say, God is so good. Yesterday the sun wasnt shinning, it was all cloudy and dreary. But today, things are looking up. I feel better, my kids are getting better and it was a great sun shinny day! God knew today would be the day I could take the kids out. His timing is perfect, even in the small things. So out to the park we went for some fresh air. Oh it was soooo nice!

Saturday Morning fun

Since it was actually sunny today, we played a bit outside.

Also, have to mention, Havens pony tail. This is the first time she has actually worn a pony tail. So cute!

What do you do when....

your kids shoes are all muddy??

You let them jump and run and splash in the rain of course!!

Justus got to run and jump and play in the rain and puddles. He loved it!

Milestone

Potty training Justus has not been the easiest thing Ive ever had to do. In fact, at times, it has been downright difficult, frustrating, angering and patience-testing. We have been at this for a year and a half. Last night, a milestone occurred. Justus slept all night in his underwear and kept his pants and bed CLEAN and DRY!! WOW!! Im so proud of him. He has worn pull ups this whole time during the night. But he has been doing a good job keeping those clean so that is what sparked my taking the next step with him. I didnt wake him up at all to go, he went the whole night just like normal. Yay for the victory!!

Check this out....

This is exactly how I feel, despite no snow. I feel like I live in an ice box and am constantly walking around freezing. Ive really started to not like the gloomy weather and am ready for some sun!

Such a Trooper

Today I took Justus to go see the Allergist. We knew he had a peanut allergy but we wanted to see what else we should be looking out for. So we did several food tests as well as environmental tests. The results were that he is basically allergic to everything! Poor kid! The doctor also prescribed an Epi pen for Justus to carry with us at all times. That part is a little scary for me. But Id rather be safe than sorry. Also he gave me an inhaler and some samples of allergy medicine to see what will work. Wow! I didnt expect all that, but Im glad to be in the know. And Justus was such a trooper through it all!
