Sickies

Last week was filled with beautiful weather and outdoor play...this week so far has started with chillier weather and a sick little baby girl :(
Rilynn started getting sick Saturday night and continued to get worse. By Monday, and after two nights of none of us sleeping and high fevers, I decided to take her to the Dr. where he determined she had a bronchial infection. He ordered some x-rays to rule out pneumonia and prescribed an antibiotic. The next day when I called to get the results of her X-rays I was informed she actually has RSV and that there really isn't anything we can do but treat her symptoms. We have been trying to help clear her up so she can breathe since she's been wheezing and breathing really fast. Trying to get her to drink fluids has been a challenge too since she doesn't want to drink anything. There is nothing worse then seeing your little babies sick and feeling totally helpless! We are praying she will be back to her perky self soon.

More spring beauty

Can I just start out by saying I absolutely LOVE my iPhone! I take about a million pictures a day (as you can tell from all these blog posts) and the iPhone not only has a million awesome camera apps, but it makes it so easy to post them right to the blog! How did I live so long without an iPhone!?!? I have no idea!

First day of Spring!

It's officially spring! Today we got the sand box out, cleaned it, and filled it with some fresh sand. The sand box hasn't been used in two years so the kids loved having it out again. I think Rilynn enjoyed playing in it the most! She loved the feel of the sand in her hands and kept giggling every time she touched some.

Is there anything cuter then a baby in a romper, jellies, and big floppy sun hat?? I don't think so ;)

Our Baby Boy at 26 weeks

Today we got to see our sweet little baby boy. The next time we see him should be when we are holding him in our arms! You can already tell he's going to be a little cutie and he looks a lot like the other kids. He kept smiling for us during the ultrasound and it was pretty precious :)

Goodbye Winter, hello Spring...er summer?

We have had the fourth warmest winter in the history of Ohio! I didn't have to shovel snow ONCE!!! Nor did the kids ever have to wear snow gear! That is definitely worth celebrating! I did slip and fall on ice though which apparently is inevitable for me no matter how mild the winter :( The weather has been so crazy, It feels like summer and it's only March. Tonight we ate dinner while watching and listening to a crazy lightning/thunder storm. The kids have been running around in tanks, shorts, and flip flops and everything is green and blooming! It's almost a little surreal! We are gearing up for another beautiful week...hooray for summery springs :)

Spring Break!

Ella and Micah have been on Spring Break this week and I don't think we could have asked for more perfect weather! It's been in the high 70's and 80's all week and we have been loving every second of it! We have had so much fun all week and I'm going to be sad when Monday comes and I'm back to driving one of them to school everyday. Thankfully we only have two more months and then our summer break starts! :)

Here are some pictures I took from my phone during the week of some of our spring break adventures.

Day 1: It was raining so I took Ella and Micah to see The Lorax

Day 5: We finally made it back to the zoo!! We haven't been since before Rilynn was born so this was her first time. Paul was home from a week of travel so we decided to go.

I know this picture is in the collage above but seriously, how adorable is her face in this?!? I love her excited expresion :)


and this has nothing to do with spring break but look how adorable my baby girl's ringlet curls are!! Since the weather has been so warm her hair has gotten even curlier and I'm absolutely in love with it!
