Feed Me!

Well-Who knew I'd have too picky eaters??? Natalie is refusing to eat much these days. So, Colin offered to feed her! She really enjoyed it and ate up all her spagehetti!!! Now I have a new trick to use when she hasn't had a good meal for a while! This made mommy really happy to see her baby eating.

Sick

What a week! In just one week, we found out our little pug dog has stage 2 cancer, Colin had a MRSA infection in his ear, Ryan had influenza B and I had pnuemonia! Cleo had to have surgery just 3 days after having 4 teeth removed to have a mass cell tumor removed from her belly. The rest of us got medicine and after 7 days in bed Ryan and I are finally able to function. Josh has been so supportive and took 4 days off work to care for the kids and didn't complain once. So we are in the disinfecting stage of the house and Josh is back at work today (Friday). I really think this is the worst I have ever felt, even worse than mono as teen. I am really looking forward to maybe going to Target!

Colin's Preschool Program

Colin had a blast doing the Christmas program called "Happy Birthday Jesus" for his school. He is in the back with the tallest birthday hat. He sang, did the actions and had cookies after the program. Even Dad made it to watch this time.

Xmas 2007

Hi everyone-Christmas was such a success this year. No meltdowns, not even over what they had to wear! We had 4 days in a row of visiting others and they held on like troopers. The boys got bikes, remote control mustangs, and a zillion other things. Natalie's theme was "babies" and got her first American Girl babies. Santa again snacked on his traditional Oreos and Coke and even made an appearance one night during dinner.

Miss Natalie

I just realized I need to take more pictures of my daughter. She is just so hard to get to sit still! Natalie is seen here on her sit-n-spin and coloring with her brothers. Notice her tiny pigtails?

Colin says GOODBYE to his NUKS!

This was a huge deal! These pics are from the last night with his nuks. The next day he is turning 4 and is way to old to have these. As you can see, he loves them. He was so good. This went so smooth. Last time we tried he cried for an entire month and didn't nap or go to bed before 11 p.m. Now he takes naps still and goes to bed on time! What a blessing! (yes, he can make the nuks stick to his cheeks with no glue, what a talent!)

Halloween

Yeah! Halloween was a blast! Nat and Ryan were Skeletons and Colin was Superman. (He was too scarded of the skeleton costumes.) Grandma Sue came to hand out candy to the 100+ trick or treaters so Josh and I could accompany the kids.


The boys dumped out their candy and started to compare treats. Natalie loved jumping in the leaves earlier that week.
