the last few days

We tried to get into our new routine this week, but yet another fast acting "sickness" over took Rob and I Sunday night and Monday. I am much better, maybe because I have to be, but Rob came home early from work today to sleep and down a couple of packets of TheraFlu.

Noelle is still sleeping pretty well, although she gets pretty ticked off when she can't burp. She has completely mastered pooping out of every outfit. How quickly you forget the need to soak everything in OxyClean. Her cord stump has not fallen off yet, and seems to have developed some oozy-ness today. I am trying to keep it clean and hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

Emily is really enjoying her big sister role. We had planned to start some pre-school curriculum at home this week, but it looks like recovering from the illness is taking priority. We have new neighbors across the street and she has a new friend who is four years old as well. They had a playdate last Friday and she talks all the time about "her friend that lives in the house across the street". This is week four of Awana, which means she has memorized four scriptures thus far. She really likes going and hanging out with her friend Max, we are also headed back to Bible Study Fellowship this week, assuming everyone feels great tomorrow.

Dallas spends his days trying on shoes and playing. I brought up a hand-me-down Thomas the Train set from the basement last week, he loves playing with it, and can build the track pretty well. It occupies him fairly well if I have to attend to Noelle. He really seems to do best (have the least amount of fits) when we have a routine day.
Today we almost had three napping kids at the same time!
