Trip to Destin

Andrew's parents invited us to spend some time with them at their place in SanDestin . It was during the week, so at first I thought we couldn't go since Elizabeth was in school. Then we decided to leave Elizabeth here with her best friend and take the rest of the kids with us to Florida. We had a great time and so did she!

One morning the twins got their faces painted by their Grandma. She is a wonderful artist and the girls did so well sitting still while they were being painted.

Here is Emily with her hearts.

Sarah got a couple balloons on her cheeks.
We did a lot of exploring while we were there. We went on nature walks and climbed in tree forts and had an amazing time, but unfortunately I forgot to bring the camera for most of that fun. We did take some pictures with Andrew's phone and I may add some of those later.
I did remember the camera when we went to the pool. The girls we like little mermaids and had so much fun in the water.
Their only complaint was the sun, which was taken care of by the addition of sun glasses :)


Joseph LOVES the water and always has. He has no fear when in the water and thinks his face should be under the water (he loves getting his face wet and blowing bubbles) so needless to say we had to watch him very closely!

Thank you Mom and Dad for such a great trip!!

Looks like you had a good time!! The kids are getting so big. The girls are getting more beautiful every time I see them. Karlee's the same way as Joseph so I had to laugh at that. No fear. What are we getting into?! Glad you're back! I miss you!

Twins in Trouble

Image
The twins were supposed to be in their beds in their room watching a movie for quiet time while Joseph was taking a nap today. I heard them in the kitchen and asked them why they were out of their room. They instantly started saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" so naturally I went to see what they were so sorry about. When I saw them I put them in the tub right away and asked them what happened . . . They some how managed to get into Elizabeth's ink and stamp set and decided to decorate themselves and their bedroom. You can tell by the look on Sarah's face she knows she is in trouble. And Emily doesn't seem any happier. They colored their beds Elizabeth's Bed And the rug on their floor. After their bath they spent the next two hours scrubbing everything they touched in the kitchen, their ink footprints off the floor, and the rug in their room. They were not happy with the manual labor, but were smart enough not to complain. I'm hoping th...

And the diagnosis is . . .

Friday morning Emily woke up with a fever. By Sat night it got up to 105! Boy was she a sick baby. Sun morning while Andrew took Elizabeth and Sarah to church I took Emily to Primed. Her WBC was high (21) so the doc new it was a bacterial infection and gave her a shot of antibiodics. He didn't run any other tests though so we didn't know where the infection was. (I was kinda frustrated about that) Even with motrin and tylenol she ran a nasty fever the rest of the day. Monday I took Emily to her regular Dr who ran all kinds of tests and discovered my poor baby girl had Pnemonia!!! She got another shot of antibiodics and was put on oral antibiodics for 10 days. Her oxygen level was great so I got to take her home, but I have to take her back in a week for a repeat chest x-ray to make sure the pnemonia is gone. Sarah started running a fever Sunday night so the doctor did a work up on her and found she had elevated WBC too so she was put on antibiodics as well to fight off the inf...
