An Apple a Day????

If you see a Patnode, RUN!!! RUN as fast as you can....we have been so sick I am about to fumigate the house. I have been to urgent care 3 times in one week. Last week both Joseph and Caroline had pink eye and Caroline had an ear infection. Thursday I took Jonathan in and he had an ear infection also that has lingered sinc Feb. 6th and I still think he has it. I spent the weekend hurling with the stomach bug...the WORST I have ever felt in my life. AND, last night I took Joseph back to only find out he has a double ear infection. Stay away...far, far, away!!!!

Rare Moments

Ok, so I thought I'd capture a really rare Mommy and Joe moment...I think the other two were sleeping. He and I were playing a game at lunch and he kept giggling/cackling and I thought it was cute so I recorded the moment.

The second video is a step into a day in my life when all three kids are loosing it. It starts off in the hall which is essestially black but all you have to do is listen...and really appreciate the quiet/calmness of your own home:-)

Conversation with a 21/2 year old

The twins were asleep and Jonathan and I were just hanging out. Here's how the conversation went (yes, I was leading the conversation just to see what he knew):



Mommy: Who is your mommy?

Jon: Daddy.

Mommy: Who am I?

Jon: Mommy

Mommy: Oh, I'm Mommy. What's my name?

Jon: Mommy

Mommy: What's your name?

Jon: Two.

Mommy: No, what's your NAME?

Jon: BIG BOY!!!! (with a deepend voice)

Mommy: How old are you?

Jon: 2

Mommy: How old am I?

Jon: 2-2-2-2

Mommy: Laughing....



Priceless conversation:-)))

Caroline Walking

SO, we now have 3 kids walking! You are thinking, "Oh that will be so helpful with all of them walking." My response is "Yes. AND, No." I had a glimpse of what it COULD be like last week. I took the kids outside on that really nice day. At one point, I had all 3 kids going in different directions. I wish there was a video of my scrambling in every direction. Oh well...should help with loosing more weight, right??? HA!
Anyway, we are THRILLED at Caroline's progress. She has been slightly slower in all her motor development, but by no means really delayed. It is hard not to compare when we have boys that are moving and grooving early. I recorded her walking today after we got home from daycare...Joe is in and out of the shot...he was very tired. Enjoy!!!

There is something wrong with my camera...the top portion of the screen/video is slightly discolored.
