Excuses...excuses!

Ok, I know you have heard them all, but we have had lots to deal with over here. I don't want to share too much of my sob story, but for posterity sake....I need to write this down. All was well until James was 7 weeks old and I had to have a little procedure and hospital stay...mom was here and stayed and helped out. She left the next week and Claire woke up with strep....the next week she got the stomach bug....she promptly gave it to me and Strick....the next week she got rsv.....and the following week she gave it to her brother. They were both so sick, so our Texas reinforcements came again. They were here and helped with breathing treatments and more snot and bodily fluids than you can imagine!!!! Then we were recovering for a few weeks and then got a double ear infection and ruptured ear drums........there is more...the ears did not clear up and we had to do another round of antibiotics......still more.....on Saturday we were at the doctor and he has pink eye......lovely! Not sure if it is just having 2 kids...having a toddler that drinks and eats after all her friends.....the cold weather that we are still dealing with here.....or what, but we hope to be done with it!!!!

Besides that, all is well here. Claire is doing so well and loves her baby brother. She cries for him when he goes down for a nap! James is doing so well and despite all the illness he is growing like a weed (over 16lbs) and sleeping so well! We are currently trying to potty train Claire and that is a job in itself.....will update on that later!

I promise some pictures to come soon! I have a new computer and the camera is kinda new so I am due some lessons and will get on the posts!
