Happy Birthday to Ben!

Ben turned 31 yesterday. We celebrated by going to IHOP for breakfast and to the mall to buy him a new pair of tennis shoes. Then his brother Dave gave him what he would consider to be a perfect day by taking him to dinner, to the driving range, and then to a movie. Since we already had a half-eaten cake left over from the weekend, I baked one of his favorites(Snickerdoodles) instead. He got some movie passes, Dallas Cowboys paraphernalia, and new boardshorts. It was a good day!

What a Week!

Last week was very eventful for us. Katelyn finally stopped throwing up. My wonderful sister-in-law Gillian and some friends threw me a surprise baby shower. It was the perfect shower, no games, lunch with the ladies, and great gifts. Thank you guys!

Makes Me Want to Cry!

Katelyn spent Friday and Saturday night in the E.R. She caught a bad stomach bug that caused her to throw up so much she lost 3 pounds in less than 24 hours and had to be given 3 times the amount of I.V. fluids someone her size usually needs. She's unfortunately not over it yet, but is doing so much better than 2 days ago.

4 Weeks Later!

One month later and Katelyn will not leave her baby brother alone. It's sweet but a bit annoying. She can be a big help however, fetching diapers, helping him hold his binki in his mouth, or consoling him when he cries. Now if we can only get her out of diapers, everything would be peachy.
