Busy times

We're going to be busy this month! Our neighbor across the hall went into the hospital yesterday to have surgery done, and she'll be there for about a week. Guess who is watching her kids during the day? She also watches another baby boy, so I'll have 3 babies under the age of 1, a 2 year old and a 4 year old. Yikes! Luckily Jason will be home during most of the hours, so I can send Rowan or the two older kids over to him if it's ever too much. But I'll also be helping her out during her recovery, so we'll be doing this for the whole month of February.





The kids have been sick this past week, Ellie had a mild version first and passed it on to Rowan. He was sooooo sick! The first night I didn't sleep at all because I had to hold him up on my chest for him to breath while he slept. Even then he was coughing and gagging all night. The worst part was that he was barely keeping down any milk because I would feed him, sit him up, and then he would cough until he threw it all up. Luckily he is now a lot better, although he still has the cough. To top that off, he now has his first black eye! He was rolling around on the floor and bumped his face on the bottom of our tv. Doesn't he look like the most miserable baby?



And then beautiful Ellie (with a beautiful juice mustache)

Holy Moly, you really are going to be busy! But I know you're neighbor will really appreciate it. Poor Rowan. Is he feeling better? Bryson has actually never had a black eye. He's had tons of bumps on his head (got a new one yesterday), and lots of busted lips, but no black eyes! And I love Ellie's mustache. They're getting so big!

Poor baby!!! But, he's a tough one now, has joined the ranks with the "big boys" in having a black eye! Praying the sickness goes away in your household cuz you'll need lots of strength with all the extra little ones!!!

Love you!!
