Well, it's been a while...

and I'm procrastinating, so I'll post a quick update and fill in additional posts as I have some more time.

March has been insane! Luckily, it has also been beautiful weather-wise and lots o' fun.

Nicholas got sick (ear infection) then got better. Freaked me out spiking a 104 fever and getting the shakes again. Apparently he gets the shakes when he starts to hit a high fever. He sings his ABC's and is just an all around cutie. Oh - and he even says his dinner prayer before he pretends to eat pretend food. 'Fah-tah...un... oh-ly...peer-it...man. now eat. num num num num."

James had a birthday. There was caramel apple pie with 30 candles. Yeah, we had a fire extinguisher at the ready. The kids thought it was hilarious.

Abby had a birthday. There was cake and 6 candles. We now have a zhu zhu hamster - Jilly. And she gets mad when the boys play with it. She loved roller skating today on her field trip, but still doesn't think she'll be able to ride a bike without training wheels this this year.

Daniel failed a hearing test at school. More to come on that one-need to follow up with our doc. He is a maniac on a big wheel, but stops often. He has a bike, but can't get the mechanics of pedaling down, although he has big wheel pedaling down.

Ben can sit up and started on rice cereal. He is a cereal eating FOOL. He loves it. He has had so many coughs and wheezes I just don't know what to do. He gets nebbed regularly. He tolerates it well and is such a happy little ham!

Jack hurt is knee this Saturday and is on restricted activity. If he's not improving by end of week, he could need surgery - poor puppy!

Nathan got a bike and we got a trailer for Ben and Nicholas. They like it OK so far, but it has been a little chilly still. I need a new bike. Coming soon I guess. I am supposed to be updating my speech for the Area 4 Toastmasters contest this Wednesday. Best get to it...

Grab the fire extinguisher!


To celebrate uncle James's birthday I picked up a Caramel Apple pie from Village Inn. (In this case, sleep won over baking a cake - and he's my brother, not my kid, so he had all of the 'crazy cakes' growing up (no, I'm not feeling guilty at all!)).

Abby decided that he needed all 30 candles.

Happy Birthday baby brother!
