Virus strikes again

Poor LJ caught another virus this week- called Hand, Foot, and Mouth. Basically the kids get little blisters on their hands, feet, and inside their mouth- which is the worst part as it makes it painful to eat (The blisters look like chicken- pox to me). Although LJ's blisters are all over his bottom and legs too. He has actually been in a pretty good mood though and eaten pretty well considering! I first noticed a big blister on his tongue on Tuesday night (although in retrospect think maybe he started showing symptoms as early as last Saturday). So we have just been hanging around the house, trying to get well...

And LJ helping me stir jello... He loved it and ate several bites before it made it to the fridge to solidify! He kept saying "we better have another bite! Jello is so yummy mama!"

LJ should be on the tail end of the virus... It's supposed to last 3-7 days.

Not sure if Evan has HFM virus or not... If he does, it's a much more mild case (only see a few small blisters)- or maybe he just hasn't really gotten it yet?!? Happy so far so just keeping fingers crossed! Praying everyone is well for our beach trip next weekend!!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
